Like he has no impartiality at all, particularly his takes on LLMs. Our small company of software developers and engineers have saved so much time with Visual Studio CoPilot. The fact is there are uses where they’re extremely useful; just maybe not as the MSM portrays it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Thwompthwomp@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) He does get a bit ranty. I still appreciate his take though. Some of the LLMs are super helpful for me for some tasks, but the hype cycle for AI is really a lot to take and it does warrant some actual pushback against it. I can tell I’m becoming more of an old man, but it’s nice to have someone else confirm how bad the Internet is becoming. It’s almost like a hazy dream for me of back in the early days when it was just people sharing weird stuff with each other and not the active battle to fend off ads and scummy sites to find things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago This is an assumption but he’s just preaching to the choir at this point. I don’t see him having a mainstream audience and the only people that listen are people that already know how fucked everything is. Also, so many ads. Like sure he’s got to make a living but he’s doing it in the very system he opposes. permalink fedilink source parent
