   Assuming model collapse doesn't happen.

     @xianc78 @TheMadPirate @binkle i think i am currently best served by not using LLMs for things.
     
     i do indeed download and try them when people go on fanboying it. i've tried mistral, mixtral, and deepseek, and then tried them on. i think i may need to redownload mixtral because that one tends to do the one thing i can trust them to do (summarize news.)
     
     deepseek doesn't follow instructions very well (it just tries to sidestep anything vaguely lewd, and when asking it for short or one sentence summaries of an email it gives me a list of "the summaries of all the emails" which is both wrong because its just one mail, and then wrong because its a list and not a sentence)
     
     other people are free to expediently shoot themselves in the feet though. in fact everyone who opposes me should cripple themselves as much as possible to make my life easier. which is what these things do, as surveys are showing that they both produce worse code and the users are becoming dependent mental midgets. :cirno_baka:

     @s8n @binkle @TheMadPirate @xianc78 i found mixtral and vicuna could do some silly tasks like summarizing documents or rewriting politics in pirate speak.
     
     deepseek came up with some odd things when i asked it for neogothic brutalist buildings. but deepseek fails to do shit thats actually useful (summarizing shit for me.)
     
     there are some uses for these things but they're as cogs not as the whole product. and for the stuff they are actually capable of you'd be better off using a mamba model over a transformer anyway.

     @icedquinn @binkle @TheMadPirate @xianc78 the ability to use an LLM to do something is an indicator of gross incompetence to an extreme degree. Not only are you less capable than an LLM, but you're trying to do something that shouldn't be done in the first place. The LLM doesn't do anything useful that should be done, so any effective usage of it is de-facto proof that whatever's being done is actively destructive

     @icedquinn @binkle @TheMadPirate @xianc78 yeah they can summarize a document but not entirely accurately and if I'm reading a document I need to get as much information from it as possible
     
     these things only work in a world of no consequences, where you can freely be wrong as much as you want and there's no relationship between success and accuracy

     @gentoobro @icedquinn @binkle @TheMadPirate Not all LLMs are VC funded. Some LLMs like GPT4All are FOSS and user funded.

     @xianc78 @gentoobro @binkle @TheMadPirate i think the implication is the VCs are paying for companies to push the slop. without them it's just hobbyists

     VC helicopter money collapse will happen first. They're already super jumpy.
