Well that was a whole bunch of shite wasn’t it?
I’m not even seeing the same level of MAGA excitement online as 2016
All they seem capable of is shouting “that didn’t age well”, “cry harder” then throwing slurs around.
Very low energy from them. No enthusiasm. Sad

mini rant:
the illusion LLMs are intelligent comes from their massive scale. it is hard to visualize, but these things memorized the WHOLE internet. everything you've ever asked it, either has been solved before, or is a simple combination of existing solutions. but that's still an illusion.
when LLMs face a problem that require a NEW solution - one of original shape, one it has never seen before - they fail. it is that simple. that's what my example shows. i took as simple problem - inverting a binary tree - and added a few constraints to make sure the solution is unique and not in the dataset, forcing it to actually SOLVE it itself. and, surprise - it can't!
and I must stress this isn't about THIS problem. but about all. LLMs can't solve ANY problem, at all. it can only spit a memorized solution. if nobody posts this solution online, not even GPT-6, opus-5, or o3, will be able to solve *this very prompt*. I'm betting on that.
the inability to create new solutions imply LLMs won't invent new science. yes, they will completely change the world as we know it. they'll have a higher impact than computers and the internet. but, unless a new kind AI emerges, we're still on our own when it comes to curing cancer or making superconductors.
Basically rewatching an old TV series right now. If I'm feeling stressed, I'll just chill on the sofa, snacks, watch an episode.
Middle of the workday? Feeling overwhelmed? BAM. TV time.
Forget the gym, forget meditation. Goblin mode for an hour.

I held a seminar on reporting to c120 people and instead of saying 'special booking fees' I said 'fcking special bees'. Luckily, they laughed.

‘Sausages’ is nothing
I stood in front of 200 people at a professional conference and said ‘spreadshit’ rather than ‘spreadsheet’
It got no better as i fell down the two steps when leaving the stage and said ‘balls’ loudly whilst still miked up

HOLY FUCK THIS PLACE IS A SHITHOLE
I ponder the reasons why I’m still here. So far conclusion is that it’s a mix of apathy, masochism and schadenfreude.
By the gods it really is mostly the dregs of humanity who remain in this hell pit. And the bots, of course. Oh, the bots.

If you’re still here having Strong Opinions About Things you can rest assured it’s less than pointless and more than likely you’re just fuelling a fire that ultimately is designed to burn the things you love.

Heh, yeah that’s the part that makes me most cynical. Follow the money. Literally all of tech is in harms way one way or another if AI falls through.

For example, several years ago I started learning Blender and 3D rendering, it was fun and rewarding and an interesting challenge. Now? It feels rather futile.
*Could* I still do it? Of course. Do I actually *want* to? Not really. Something important there has been diminished.

A teacher once said I was lazy because I did all of my work as quickly as I could so that I could spend more time doing nothing.
30 years later and I still don’t see what the fucking problem was

I keep having to mentally remind myself which is the bad and the good Molyneux and sometimes I'm not so sure.
