Did I say ban? I said recall. People still sell e.g. cars. Just fix the problems and put them back on the market. Razor blades and knives can be used to hurt people, they don't spontaneously hurt people, and most parents don't let their children play with them.
Similarly, other harmful products carry labels, e.g. cigarettes. If someone already has mental health issues then perhaps they shouldn't use an LLM. Like someone with lung problems, you can't stop them from smoking, but putting labels on there to warn against the harms is also a way to inform people.
As it is currently, LLMs are marketed as intelligent, they use language like "thinking", and in much wider terms the people pushing them are saying that they'll revolutionise everything. They're not talking about the dangers and that's a problem.
They're not AI, they're pattern completion algorithms. Fancy autocomplete. They've caused real life harm to real life people, and no one is taking responsibility. Usually when companies sell a product that hurts people, the product gets recalled. This needs to happen to LLMs.
Ugh. This left me with a heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Wikipedia is such an important resource and to see it vandalised with LLMs like this is vile.
I've got two laptops, a personal one, and one from work. They're both Lenovo laptops.
My personal laptop can be repaired, you can slip out the battery and replace it without even using a screw. There's actually two batteries, one is internal and does require some screws to be removed but it's not very difficult. Anyone who wants to can easily do that. The same goes for the fan and cooler, RAM, and SSD, network card, keyboard, screen, and trackpad. There's probably a bunch of other things that can be easily replaced that I just haven't looked into.
My work laptop is from 2022, so it's about 4 years old now. It doesn't have a second external battery. Opening it up is a bit tougher, and you can't replace things as readily.
They have roughly the same dimensions, and weigh about as much. I don't really see the added value to me as a consumer with this newer laptop.
My first laptop was a briefcase. There is such a thing as a happy medium. You could design light laptops that have replaceable parts, but they don’t do that because that would give choice back to the consumer and most manufacturers whole business model is to have you discard your computer and buy a brand new one every few years.
I agree, but there's degrees to it. Sometimes it's done to update an old game, but I feel like a lot of remasters and re-releases are done just to milk an already successful existing IP rather than try to build on it. Skyrim wasn't old, it didn't need fifteen releases. Overwatch getting shut down in favour of Overwatch 2, only to then become Overwatch again is ridiculous.
Then there's stuff like Raidou being remastered. It's relatively obscure and was only ever available for the PS2. I don't mind that type of thing as much.
I don't want exciting I want stable.
