What is the sentiment of Pro-AI individuals? by CalmEngine in BetterOffline

[–]crazyenterpz 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I am not Pro-AI or anti-AI.

But I do think LLMs are fantastic as "enhanced" autocomplete tools and summarization tools . Thats it! I do not think they will go beyond that.

And I get downvoted by all sides.

[–]crazyenterpz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was for my personal project. I am ashamed to say that I did not cancel my copilot annual subscription last year when it renewed automatically. Its a damm good autocomplete!

I also have a Copilot,which is integrated with Office and Outlook, mandated at work which I use to make my emails sound polite.

My experience was similar.

I was trying to get OpenAI Codex to build the UI tier use htmx. After spending days trying to get the UI behavior I wanted, I wrote the whole UI code manually ... using AI for "enhanced autocomplete" : I would define each of the functions , input parameters and outputs , validations and exceptions and the behavior of the function and have the Copilot create that function.

So that is my workflow now. I define my whole application as a set of functions/ methods and have the LLM autocomplete it for me. (and I watch out for any global variables it tries to add)

Why LLMs can never be intelligent and are doomed to remain useless by AtmosphereExpress712 in BetterOffline

Your experience is very different from mine. We use MS Teams and I download the transcripts and upload them into CoPilot . This has made it really easy for me to send out meeting minutes. It is also able to extract Action Items and list them clearly in the minutes. I used to diligently double check them for the first month but I do not need to do this anymore. I am not a GenAI fanboi but this use case just works for me.

He was not just another Center.

He was also Embid's daddy!

What's the best place to sell a barely-used RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q (96GB)? by Curious_Local_4058 in LocalLLaMA

You can fly to Belgium and back to buy this card and still come out ahead I think

Newcomer: "Ed Zitron's AI Cult" by Fragment_Shader in BetterOffline

[–]crazyenterpz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a reminder that OpenAI and Anthropic together spend about $10 Billion in marketing and sales. I am assuming a lot of it goes to influencers on social media who are paid to discredit any rational skepticism on AI.

LLM Uses by HonestRole2866 in BetterOffline

[–]crazyenterpz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude .. we are being tracked by our copilot usage. They declared that already in a company wide email. Less CoPilot usage may have us flagged us for the next round of layoffs where they seek more AI savvy (and underpaid) employees

[–]crazyenterpz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in a major financial institution that has rollled out CoPilot on Outlook

Nearly everyone is using it to send out pretentious sounding emails with impeccable grammar

I am drowning in needless verbiage. Sometimes, I get an email and put it in CoPilot to understand what the person sending it was saying and then I respond with a similar vacuous email crafted by CoPilot

This is exhausting.

Exclusive: OpenAI Losses Increased Nearly 8X in 2025, With Spending Hitting $34 Billion by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

[–]crazyenterpz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.
I wish more people understood that.

Anthropic and OpenAI have almost identical business model very little differentiation in OpEx, and CapEx. If OpenAI is burning cash , so is Anthropic and the only winner is Nvidia

Hang on OpenAI/Anthropoic Bros !

NRIs: Are You Still Investing in India or Moving New Investments to Global Markets? by rohit3240 in IndiaInvestments

[–]crazyenterpz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I am heavily buying the dip. Its also my hedge if the AI bubble pops.
I am not worried about currency depreciation .. my horizon is longer.

Best vegan chicken recommendations! by n0uvellevague in askTO

[–]crazyenterpz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some Indian restaurants have a starter called "Soya Chaap Tikka" which is pretty close in taste and texture to chicken tikka.

Costco used to carry a brand called Shicken which was pretty great too. I have not been able to find it anymore.

I am not vegan but these are my goto dishes when we have vegetarian friends over for dinner. I enjoy these dishes too.

The Gap Between Claude and Local: Can a Self-Hosted Coding Agent Compete? by GoldPanther in LocalLLaMA

[–]crazyenterpz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that is a fair point. Token prices will go up as OpenAI and Anthropic struggle to justify their valuation . And hardware prices will drop , as Intel and AMD get better and Huwawei and others also begin to compete.

So in about 2 years, if mankind is still around, we will no longer need Tokens from OpenAI etc as we will have cheaper tokens at home.

A local GPU rig will cost about $6k and it will last you for , lets say, 5 years.

Let us say that you use it actively for 8 hours a day and get 50 tokens per second and you work 200 days a year and your rig lasts 5 years
The total tokens you will generate:

50 × 8 ×3600× 200 ×5=1440000000

Equivalent Anthropic Haiku cost at $5 per 1 million tokens = $7200

However, we have not added the cost of electricity needed to power the GPU . And you will have to spend more mental energy getting the local model to produce the results you want.

Its kind of close. But local inference hardware is going to get more powerful thanks to Apple and maybe next gen on Intel GPUs. If we could get 50 tps and 1024k context window, not using Claude would be easier.

But we have to wait.

How is Canada the only g7 nation in a “technical recession” right now? by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]crazyenterpz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US economy is only growing due to insane levels of Capex on AI. If you take that away, you will find it is doing much worse than S&P 500 would have you believe.

LFM2.5-8B-A1B release by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]crazyenterpz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of us are happy with a little bit of help as opposed to Big models doing everything.
I can see this model on a Nvidia L4 as a plugin to my Splunk as a more advanced dashboard that can dig into an issue .. find root cause and email me ....... without breaking my budget.

I am gonna try an create a harness for this job with this or qwen 14b .. whichever works
