    Futurism is suffering from addiction to ragebait headlines about AI. What a piece of shit outlet, honestly, that exists for nothing at this point but to lazily regurgitate stories about AI and then slap on a headline like “AI CEOs are literally shitting their diapers (because they’re so STUPID) as their industry crumbles around them!!” (corresponding article is about how Nvidia stock dipped 1.5% intra-day)

    The article in the OP is “about” this video from the channel Real Engineering, in case anyone wants real material. I genuinely think Futurism should be banned at this point and users encouraged to instead directly post whatever shit Futurism is mooching off of. Even for a comm like fuck_ai, their constant enemy-is-strong-and-weak ragebait is so transparently fucking lazy and empty.

        I don’t use LLMs outside of translation and don’t see their widespread, general-purpose proliferation as a good thing.

        Good try, though.

          So you’re just raging for shits and giggles? OK. You be you, boo.

            I’m one of the biggest AI haters around (and you’re welcome to go through my comment history if you don’t believe me), but he’s right. Futurism is a trash-tier publication that’s trying to monetize AI hate in a way that’s only designed to tell us what we want to hear without adding any real value to anyone.

            It’s clickbait garbage, and accepting it uncritically is just as stupid as accepting LLM slop as fact
