While I agree the environmental impact of LLM is concerning, I disagree that this is a poor use for it.

It’s pretty much the best case scenario for using an LLM. There are so many companies within companies that if you’re trying to avoid an umbrella brand an LLM can quickly parse through that data and provide a response. Whereas you may take 5 minutes trying to find an answer and if you’re grocery shopping that could add up very quickly.

And this is trivial for an LLM to do and would use barely any compute. As always, companies that are using AI to generate images, replace staff and moderate their websites that are going to be creating 99% of the environment damage by AI. We shouldn’t be going after individuals who are using it to make their day-to-day easier especially if they’re using it to hurt monopolies.

Oh yeah, I blocked that account. Made Lemmy a little more pleasant.

Probably doesn’t help that Teslas guess which direction you want to go in and you have to change it if it’s wrong. https://www.autoblog.com/2021/01/28/tesla-new-gear-shifter-guesses-direction-you-want/

I would eat fried chicken every day if it wouldn’t kill me.

I can’t order Jimmy John’s on my work computer anymore. Why? Because tiktok is blocked on our work network. What does tiktok have to do with Jimmy John’s? Well I would have thought nothing expect it won’t let you set your delivery option unless it’s allowed to send data to analytics.tiktok.com.

Why is a God damn sandwich shop sending my location to tiktok? No idea, but it’s definitely not just the video app that’s the problem.

100% agree, my favorite phone I’ve had was the BlackBerry Priv, the form factor was perfect for me. I had a KeyOne but a lot of apps didn’t play well with the weird resolution screen.

I couldn’t find another phone with a physical keyboard and a full sized screen so I’m now on a OnePlus 10 Pro but if there was another phone released with a physical sliding keyboard I’d be on top it immediately.

That’s not true, there were several free antiviruses that were considered good back then. I’d say quality free antivirus were more popular in the mid-00s to late 00s than they are now after Windows defender got usable.

Checkmate.

99% of the people in that office had absolutely nothing to do with the decision that upper management made. They are just working for a living. They didn’t choose anything, they chose to not starve. Fuck off with punishing the entire work force for the greed of a few individuals.

Great news to have more options in the Enterprise Linux space in the future. Personally I’m going to keep running Alma at work since they’ve promised to keep working on security updates and watching the whole RHEL linux thing unfold.

I also have been paying for Premium the last couple years and I completely agree. I get more value out of my premium subscription than I do Netflix or Max. Plus premium supports the creators more than ads do.

So far every website owner I’ve had issues with has been a billionaire capitalist, I’ll give the communists a shot.
