  • And the quality of the AI output sucks. I was recently looking for information about positive convention for yaw, pitch, and roll in aircraft. I was looking at az and yaw and got reasonable results from the AI, but when I looked at pitch and el all of the results were about elevator pitches. Even when I spelled out elevation it insisted on elevator pitches. I scroll past the AI results as a matter of principle, but I usually look at them so I have something specific to complain about when people ask why I am so virulently anti-AI.





  • What I don’t see is an explanation for why developing AI should be a priority. I don’t even think LLMs are really AI, so why should they get free poor plagiarism? I haven’t seen any convincing evidence that LLMs are a step towards AGI.

    I am really dreading the LLM crime prediction future. It will be like a really bad version of Minority Report. CRIMESTOPPER 3000 says you’re a minority, you’re poor, and you criticize our largest shareholder, therefore you are going to jail to prevent your inevitable crime.

    We should be powering these energy hogs off before they make the majority of us poorer.











  • I use VsVim when I use VS, but I do most of my code development in Vim. I use VS for a particular product that I support. It works well enough that I can’t complain to much, but someone else much more knowledgeable about the tool set it up for me.

    My primary development environment is a centos7.3 virtual box with various options (Eclipse). I mostly just use raw gdb because I have been using it long enough that I don’t have to think about it too much and it’s pretty portable knowledge.
