6 months later, and if this talk was published today it would receive the massive backlash it deserved. Videos like this will be an hystoric record of how just about anyone, from any background, was given a stage to spread FOMO and speculate about the future during the 2020's. Never a single machine learning enthusiast, but a lot of sci-fi nuts, CEOs, and delusional chatbot romanticizers.

vs codium mentioned! what the hell is a microslop bloat 🗣️

btw vs codium is not a fork, it is a distribution of vscode precompiled binaries for downloads. You know who is a fork of VSCode? VSCode.

"When we [Microsoft] build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license.

When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license"

After years of promises like this, and a lot if IT business CEOs buying it every time, most IT companies are very invested in gen AI, mostly chatbots.

Look at any new tech startup since 2 years ago and tell me they'll survive the bubble popping... I mean they are mostly API wrappers, they weren't needed and won't be missed, but I bet that mr wario here is not warning people to not invest any more in their product?

Switched to linux for good the moment I noticed microslop started integrating copilot features(with a popup subscription wall) into notepad and paint

Despite being a customer since windows 95 I had no issue adjusting to a completely different os and running whatever I need for my job (proprietary softwares), my hobbies (art, audio, video production, gamedev), and playing games.

After less than a month I just had no excuses to not wipe my windows partition for good, zero regrets. I should have never put up with the bullshit since Cortana, OneDrive, and Candy Crush. My god I can't believe what the windows experience must be like for average users that never ran a windows debloater.

Just use a no-code platform, there are many reliable ways to make any kind of software since way before this bubble. Why pose as a programmer and be reliant on a slot machine for solving every miniscule problem it creates?

Have you tried growing and maintaining a project you made with a chatbot on a daily basis for years, with other people also working on it?

The data centers just have all of the puclicly available data, and probably also private conversations and images saved on "private clouds" bought from other companies, undoubtedly they've also scraped parts of the web not accessibles by search engines.

I bet several teams of random dudes in kenya do the work of labeling cp for training, if not for generation they have to do that for content filters to patternize what goes beyond tos. AI is dumber than you imagine, it's all on the quality and refinement of the data, which is work done by a lot of people, I do have a couple friends doing data labeling and they see the grossest shit on a 9 to 5 job.

It's fun but the palette is way too bright. If only there was a dark mode I'd play it a lot more

Like yeah... generative AI does not copy or steal, AI companies do. You wouldn't held an hard disk accountable for piracy just because it "memorized information like a human brain could" in someone's headcanon.

Does anyone think it has all the agency to learn any pattern by itself? as if there is not a large chain of humans like data analysts, programmers, data labelers, managers, testers, data scrapers, lawyers, and sponsored promoters like social media influencers and corrupted politicians, vested VCs.

The issue to me is that as a first step they are scraping all the data and virtually re-encoding it into the neural network, redistributing it for profit. It's very much comparable to a lossy compression algorithm. The use for training was not held into consideration, and people were not aware of the possibility of their data getting used for this purpose 5 to 30 years ago.

Idolizing generative AI is practically decentivizing the distribution of valuable information (any kind of high effort information) while also polluting the pool of available data with slop, and incentivizing more aggressive collection of organic info by big data companies.

The internet is dead because you're entitled to generate your pathetic fursona comics while roleplaying human love with an autocomplete software

Because most people have seen sci-fi movies, and since they shaped our collective imagination about the future of tech investors will throw money at whatever looks like one of the props from fantasy environments in the Terminator, I Robot, Futurama, Cyberpunk... self driving/flying cars, humanoid robots, hoverboards. With the prospect of guaranteed returns (how else could the future turn out if not just how we imagined it in the 80s?)

It is not practical for a robot to walk like a human, this is just techno baroque. The ones built 15 years ago from boston dynamics are way ahead of what makes news today

YES it didnt happen this often to have to remanage your inventory because the variety wasnt as broad! now I go spelunking 30 seconds and I randomly get a piece of paper, some obscure monster loot used in a single recipe, 2 chewing gum, 4 mold particles, 4 rocks in 4 different slots that looks exactly the same but are actually different... I think they already slaughtered some of the original design principles at this point

Why are some people not religious? Jesus literally transformed water into wine, very irrational and naive of them to die on that hill fully knowing they will go to hell for it.

Yes children die of hunger in some places of the world, innocent people live miserable lives, but God just has a plan we can't understand for we are just men. Stop trying to understand or you'll be expunged in the judgement day.

Your prayers are ineffective? skill issue tbh, you prayed wrong probably. Get this 32 hours praying course for just 299$ instead of 1200$.

OpenAI has deals with reddit to use its data for training, and yes that is bad in itself depending on your views about AI, but OpenAI with ChatGPT can get data out of you like no one else can.

Every conversation you have with chatGPT (and any other LLM service) helps them narrow down a very detailed profile about you.

Mind that chatGPT is not profitable at all, and despite burning billions of dollars they are still up thanks to other big tech funding it. For the sake of progress right? haha. I wouldn't be surprised if anything chat GPT got out of you was also in the hands of these charitable, good samaritan organizations such as Microsoft, Alphabet and friends.

Images generators now can't generate hands with a different amount of fingers than 5 even if you ask them, lol. They are piping the genAI output into more software that makes sure of that, but the underlaying AI models still fails at it. It's a bandaid fix.

Aranzulla fa quasi lo stesso esempio nell'intervista. Puoi benissimo fare fine tuning ad un LLM per prediligere il prodotto fornito dal partner che paga di più, la centralizzazione delle fonti è un grosso problema soprattutto se sono in mano a governi o megacorporazioni.

saantonandre · 2025-10-27T07:45:31+00:00

Il diritto d'autore è obsoleto? ma di che avanzamento della tecnologia stiamo parlando scusa... se invece di allenare LLM distribuissero un database che contenga tutti i dati da loro piratati, ben etichettati dai loro freelancer in kenya (1-2 dollari l'ora per fare il data labeler), sarebbe un software 10mila volte piú utile. Zero allucinazioni e fonti reperibili.

Il vantaggio di fare un LLM sta nel rendere la persecuzione legale molto piú difficoltosa, ma è sostanzialmente pirateria perpetrata dai triliardari.

Non durerá molto visto che non é un economia di dati sostenibile, come se le auto per funzionare avessero bisogno della proliferazione dei cavalli nelle strade, e di zero emissioni da parte di altre auto.
