I agree but not in genetic sense but more of a cultural sense imo.

I grew up in Eastern Europe and witnesses soviet collapse and culture shift myself. It went from this obedient “no my problem” passive anger and misery to a society that actually cares for each other and is warm and optimistic which only started to regress recently because of fucking ruskies again.

It’s so frustrating to see this great evil plague the world and pretend that it’s “1 bad putin” when the entire culture has been morphed into facilitating and growing this disgusting evil like rotting bread grows mold.

The energy issue almost feels like a red herring for distracting all idiots from actual AI problems and lemmy is just gobbling it up every day. It’s so tiring.

Basically nothing worth getting angry about

I understand your point but no one’s argueing that “russia should be literally deleted” - it’s impossible. Culture of 140M people will literally never go away in our lifetimes apart from armageddon. What people do argue here is that the current version of russian culture is beyond redemption, that russia needs a cultural revolution akin to complete abandonment of everything russia stands for today. Hope that clears this up.

coding is actually very difficult, especially for people who are bad at math

I disagree tbh. I’m a software dev with 20+ years of experience and I think most coding is not very difficult relative to other jobs. The problem is that coding requires specific motivation because the information breadth is insane compared to other professions and that becomes incredibly overwhelming for many people are not stubborn in a specific sort of way.

I think you have a point here regarding corellation between low-quality questions and people “who don’t want to be here” - that’s probably true.

Though people generally really suck at describing their issues and that goes way beyond code. LLMs are making this even more apparent because a dude who can describe everything is having a great time and others just yell “LLMs suck and have no value” so the difference is crazy.

There’s something with our society where introspection and detail is not natural and very difficult to learn for some people.

should have been murdered?

where are you getting this? no one said anything of the sort. Saying that toxic cultural demise is a good thing is not equivellent to saying that people should be murdered.

Dumb take because inaccuracies and lies are not unique to LLMs.

half of what you’ll learn in medical school will be shown to be either dead wrong or out of date within five years of your graduation.

https://retractionwatch.com/2011/07/11/so-how-often-does-medical-consensus-turn-out-to-be-wrong/ and that’s 2011, it’s even worse now.

Real studying is knowning that no source is perfect but being able to craft a true picture of the world using the most efficient tools at hand and like it or not, objectively LLMs are pretty good already.

Yes yes, “just doing my job, not my fault” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders

No, ruzies are complicit and deserve no sympathy. The lack of any resistance or even acknowledgement is unseen in contemporary history.

I wonder whether people would downvote this if it was Nazis in 1940s huh

it’s working so far no? literally zero opposition for putin

Both governments suck

lmao

I wonder would you say the same thing about Nazis in 1940s

You’re building a straw man that is unrelated to the issue at hand. Sure rich hoarding and political issues are bad but we will not run out of water. Period.

I’m genuinely confused by your question. The same way all technology is being delivered? The bigger research market the cheaper is the product and water treatment is no different.

Our top scientists are not solving water issues because there’s no market for it. African people who go 10km one way to the well don’t have the funding to fund this and in the grand scale of things this is such a small issue that it gains no attention and it’s easier to patch it with temporary solutions and existing inefficient technologies than to invent new stuff.

This is a very well known problem in the charity scene that applies way beyond this water issue and it’s not some secret issue that nobody knows about it.

tbh I see a philosophical problem of separating markup from programming. Creating object structures be it in Latex or html is essentially the same thing as creating code objects. Most high level programming is more about structures and “placing things around” than people like to admit and that’s 90% of all programming today.

I think that’s the goal! Mosquitos are already being fought this way where genetically modified males are introduced to the environment who are stronger and faster than the locals but their offsprings are sterile. It’s a wildly effective strategy!

I don’t think ruzies are worried about technologies they can’t even afford.
