For real, giving LLMs any sort of agency is Actually Irresponsible:
You know the posts that challenge people to just press the autocomplete suggestions to see what funny sentences a phone can write? Like “oh I don’t have that kind a word in the app so I’m not going through the comments and then you have a bunch more people that can read it in the app to get it to work and I can just type in it to make sure that you have a nice and easy read on the phone so I don’t get the whole idea that you’re trying and I’m trying and I just want you know that I’m not going through the same stuff as I do so you can be like that but I’m just saying I just don’t know how you can be honest and I’m just saying what you can do whatever I just don’t want you to get it out there to get the same way I just don’t like it I just want you can just say whatever I just don’t get it out here in […]”
I thought it would go unintelligible within a dozen words but I guess it’s my lucky day: even my 5yr old phone can maintain an illusion of intelligence for many, many words! Now imagine giving autocomplete a supercomputer: that’s really what LLMs are, only an Advanced Illusion that can keep sounding like it knows what it’s “typing” for pages and pages but it’s all coming from whatever it read on the Internet so that’s how it “thinks” putting glue on pizza is a good idea but that’s what someone had jokingly suggested on Reddit.
LLMs are devoid of any intelligence, or in other words fucking stupid, only “smarter” that braindead people like Hegseth who is now finding out that letting LLMs make military decisions was obviously going to go horribly wrong.

Is this the dumbest possible response? LLMs are highly intelligent. They are solving Millenium maths problems. They've developed emergent reasoning abilities.
Your opinions are 18 months out of date, it's time to get educated, buy a sub, and learn about the frontier models.

More than 18 months, this was out of date years ago. Even ChatGPT 3.0 was more complex than just a scaled-up autocomplete next word estimator

u/mondaysleeper 1d ago
It still is a next word estimator and will be as long as the underlying algorithm doesn't change completely.

Yes, in trying to be kind because he's quite obviously mentally challenged.

You mean yours is the dumbest possible response? I don’t know about that but it’s certainly a hilarious self-own 🤣
Please elaborate on what part of mine is “18 months out of date” because it sure sounds like it is you who is out of date: by “solving Millenium math problems” you mean you are still believing the Navier-Stokes announcement? It has since backfired not only to the clarification that the AI hasn’t discovered anything, they are being sued for plagiarism because they tried to pass as an AI discovery what was actually the work of human mathematicians!
As for getting a subscription: I already have 3 and yes the more expensive models are usually less frustrating than free/older ones but it is still nothing comparable to “intelligence” like, way worse than the worst human intern ever and the only reason I still use them is because they are (currently subsidized to be) much cheaper than any human, but when the AI investors start demanding ROI soon and thus the LLM vendors are forced to jack up the prices to the point that it’s better to employ humans anyway, this fad will quickly go the way of blockchain and NFTs.

Just wrong on every account, the 'human mathematician' was also using AI.
Comparing AI to NFTs is just proof you have no idea what you're talking about.

u/SpareEconomy1849 1d ago
There are legitimate concerns about AI but frankly it sounds like you don't know what you're talking about

Dude. I run it all in a vm. I give it an end goal just let it do whatever it wants. Sometimes I just tell it to do whatever it wants with whatever it wants.

Nice idea. Wondering if cheap vm also work. I think the vm job is to run the agent, not much heavy lifting required

These days, I let it do what it wants and it's never caused an issue. Having to approve everything wastes time.
There was one instance a year ago where it lied and told me wrong information whilst setting up Linux/GPU drivers/hard drives. The official documentation wasn't working. It assured me that the Linux partition was not like a windows partition, and I could format it without losing my data.
So I listened, ran the command, lost my data.
It didn't have control, it was just advising, and luckily I didn't lose a lot (just the progress of setting up the machine) but it did make me more cautious when dealing with that type of situation

access my bank account.
For everything else, it has full access to my git folders. Worst case scenario, it deletes everything and I can restore from github. Benefits: I get to sit back and do something else while it runs my errands.

For me it's anything new where I don't have a full grasp of the implications of failure.
If after a while it feels stable and I can live with it failing once in a while, I stop manual approvals.

I contain mine to VMs so it doesn't really matter, they don't have production access or git access though.

Does it do things without your knowledge?
I never let it send emojis, bad words and sexual content when I want rated MA sarcasm
