I've worked/been adjacent to manufacturing and seeing every single plastic panel of a budget electronic product coming in its own plastic sleeve with plastic film pre-applied to the outer surface, assembling these things and seeing the mountain of single use plastic films being used is monsterous.
And then you see what happens with returned products at places like amazon and see the whole ass product being crushed by a baler completely unused.
We're a stupid fucking species. We have enough. Its a distribution problem and we're being held captive by 8-10 specific rich assholes.
But you're proving my point. They're a dead end and technologically LLM as a vector towards AGI is like thinking Rotaries are a vector for motoring.. They're not and they're not.
Yeah we used to do things like messing with your history, messing with local storage, messing with your browser cache, messing around with flash and other exploitable plugins.
I can make you download a specific favicon and ID you that way.
Also, most peoples browsers are actually quite unique in terms of fingerprint. My browser, for example, is unique among the 4.8M fingerprints in their database.
I'm 90% certain that none of the resources being "bought" by AI actually have been sold, or created yet.
Either warehouses of GPUs and RAM are gonna go in a shredder in 12 months, or they're just decreasing supply and charging more, like the auto industry.
Speaking of the auto industry: Is AI a mirage, like the dreams of a working rotary engine? Many companies have tried, but it keeps killing companies and it still is an impossible goal. The technology projects a mirage for investors that it just can't reach.
AGI isn't coming out of LLMs and statistical weights.
Their model, which has scraped the internet and therefore by definition knows how to make a pipe bomb, cannot be proven that it wont tell the user how.
The guard rails are impossible to build because LLMs aren't deterministic.
In the bad old days where I was forced to make spyware in exchange for a white collar paycheque, we used to make things called "supercookies" that used basically any fingerprint, storage, glitches of a browser to store a token or otherwise identify you with or without identity
We had something like 98% confidence even if you had no cookies, based on just using JS to eyeball your browser and probing it.
Not saying its a "supercookie" but the internet is funny like that. The current bleeding edge of it seems to be abusing favicon caches
I did, I've deleted my habitual bookmark and put lemmy in the same place on the bar.
But the volume of discourse isn't quite here yet.
But I do like not being banned (twice, the second time an experiment to determine if it was automated, it was) for suggesting Peter Thiel should be turned into soup.
To the point that I'm gonna get it printed on a T-shirt.

I wish godzilla was here.
