I wasn't saying factories are bad, nor did I. You're arguing with me for no reason, dude.

You’re standing in as my punching bag because Dorothy didn’t come back after saying factory jobs should all be full-ass sweatshops.

They can’t be. I’d like to see anyone spend eight hours a day bent at a 90 degree angle. Sometimes you need time between tasks because not having time between tasks would actually cause injury.

The AIs are mostly pretty retarded, but extremely knowledgeable. On any particular topic they'll know infinitely more than the average person does (zero), but they're maybe even worse than the average person at reasoning. The end result is that if you ask a question that it can apply existing knowledge to you can get a reasonable answer. However, the more extrapolation you ask for the worse the answers get.

You're already seeing that the LLMs (at least with the current method) are about to reach the apex in most cases. What's happening is also what happened to SEOs, except it will happen in a much shorter time. People are figuring out how to manipulate the LLM crawlers in order to get their data put as higher priority or expertise, even though the data in those cases is generally wrong. There's also the issue of the LLM creators lobotomizing it because of ideological reasons.

It's likely to get to the point where general purpose LLMs are more or less useless, due to all of the shit data that they've collected, and the only ones worth a shit are small, single-purpose ones that are used for specific tools. But even then, I think we're already seeing bottlenecks in many cases.

I agree, but the one thing we should add is at least a class where you learn "how to actually fucking cook for yourself and not eat chicken nuggets all day" and "how to do your taxes". maybe "how to fix your car" too

Put the classes back in? When I was at school, there were "home economics" (cooking and sowing), "personal finance" (checkbooks and taxes), and things like woodworking. I think mechanics was a vo-tech thing.

My school had these classes too. Foods, Consumer/Career Math, Auto Shop, and Wood Shop.

None of these classes were recommended for college prep students. Foods and Consumer/Career Math should have been mandatory for everyone.

Interesting how everyone tried to act like Chyna wouldn't pull something this abrasive and symbolic of how much they can control industry, yet go ahead and prove Trump right when they're backed into a corner. At least now we can finally move on local refining.

Being able to utter the word fag or faggot as a blue collar worker is a lifesaver.

There is a lot more you can say as a blue collar that is beyond the realm of "polite company". Have you watched trailer park boys? Some days it feels like that bro.

I’m over here trying to say factories aren’t that bad, and then the shit that comes back is “oh, they aren’t!? They should be!”

True factories have never been tried!

There is nothing quite like looking at the stupid shit the last shift left you and calling them a fucking retard.

HR did more damage to polite society and should be compared to radical terrorists because that's what they are.

I really wish I knew what you were trying to say.

I guess it’s that I must be communist for suggesting that our economy retaining value added processes would be good?

I don’t know what blue collar works got you saying faggot, but I sure as hell say “fucking niggers” a lot of the time where I work, black or not, no better word to describe pure laziness

If anyone hasn't seen inside a modern factory. Here is a drone fly-through tour of a Tesla Gigafactory.

Machines do brute strength work way beyond human capabilities. The humans manage the machines and perform tasks that require judgment.

Men's woes with marriage are something most conservative talking heads ignore, and if you bring it up to them, they call you a whiner.

Someone else in the thread pointed out how Republicans love shitting on men as well, because it's so much easier than actually addressing their problems.

It’s amazing how often you’ll hear this from the mouthes of people who sit on extra cushions for their office chair, in an air conditioned room, with Facebook open in the other tab

It always goes back to blaming men, blaming Americans for not wanting to compete with foreigners, blaming Americans for wanting to be paid a decent wage for grueling work, etc.

It's likely to get to the point where general purpose LLMs are more or less useless, due to all of the shit data that they've collected, and the only ones worth a shit are small, single-purpose ones that are used for specific tools. But even then, I think we're already seeing bottlenecks in many cases.

So much of it is just completely arcane black arts. They'll train the model on new data and it improves and they can't even tell you why. So much of the AI world is snake oil, smoke and mirrors. Not that it's all bad or I have anti-AI derangement syndrome, I enjoy using image gen for memes for example. But the industry surrounding it is profoundly retarded.

The amount of money these guys are walking away from because they're terrified of anyone using these things for porn is hilarious to me, for example. They've sunk so much money into lobotomizing and censoring the models, spending far more than they would make if they would just fuck off and let people have fun.
