To be fair, crypto only enabled scams, NFTs imploded because of how useless they are and the metaverse seems like a dystopia to most people. AI on the other hand has changed the way I do my job significantly. It’s not just a promise, it’s a genuinely powerful tool.
But fr, in academic fields its certainly helpful to have super human pattern recognition. In most fields, however, its just slop generation. Creative fields and now even code are being flooded with garbage and I dont think we’ll be able to fix it. Sure, some places are benefiting, but on the whole its just a massive black hole of hand-holding and flooding that we’ll be cleaning up for decades.
I think there are some very cool images, but overall it’s not all that deep. I’d recommend Iain M Banks (say, The Algebraist) for an author trying for something similar and hit it out of the park.
“Guns don’t kill people, people do” level of fallacy. Gubs enable people to do it, as do LLMs enable companies to dial up the spam abf scams. Companies haven’t changed, LLM are the change and largely not to the better.
Ahem: “ChatGPT, anthropic, and the like are scamming their customers and provide a negative experience”. I was not placing the blame on scam companies, simply pointing out AI as a concept atm is like 95% scam and 5% stuff we can do anyways
If LLMs weren’t a tool to extract knowledge from people and dumb them down while preventing them from accessing wealth and they were environmentally sustainable, then I could see them as a useful tool. I don’t want to boil the planet so that an LLM can generate the minutes of yet another unnecessary meeting, I want not to have to hand in minutes of unnecessary meetings.
The metaverse twist was certainly useless and realized in the most uninsipred soulless way, but vr otherwise has some utility and can be entertaining to a niche.
AI as so far realized has some utility, but a handful of asshats are similarly supremely obnoxious about it, and in my experience way more people are being obnoxious about it than it is useful.
Isn’t Trump the self proclaimed crypto president? Isn’t crypto the main source of his family’s wealth by now?
I’ve never seen any price displayed in Dogecoin, Safemoon or CumRocket, nor have I ever been offered Shiba, Bitcoin or Monero for anything. It’s been almost 20 fucking years and you can’t pay shit with crypto. The only thing that works perfectly in crypro is paying bribes to Trump by buying his own shitcoin, which many sketchy rich people have done. No, this is not the salvation you are looking for, it only makes everything worse.

That is true job security. Being able to undo everyone else’s screwups. Such work kept me gainfully employed for 45 years.
“It’s not just a promise, it’s a genuinely powerful tool.”
Methinks you’ve spent too much time with GenAI LLMs or are a bot yourself. “It’s not x, it’s y”
I don’t know, it’s probably save me a couple hundred hours so far. Maybe more. It is genuinely incredibly powerful for coding (When used correctly)
Sorry, complete non sequitur, is the Hyperion in your username a Dan Simmons reference?
Nah, the Greek Titan. Worth reading?

Careful, the Shrike might just take offense.
As is a hammer. The issue is when you treat the solution to every problem as a nail.
LLMs are also great scam enablers.
Mainly the companies themselves. Id say 95%+ of their regular users are only negatively affected by them

Ah ok.

cryptos amazing, I can pay people without President Donald J Trump having access to my payment records online

counterpoint: you can buy diy hrt with crypto
And he can use it to get bribes more easily with the shitcoins they pump out every few months.
