<p>I'm so disheartened about my job. We had a training about AI, and the person presenting just sounded so in love with it. Not as in appreciating a good tool to use, not like loving a new tool. She was actually in love with it, and even admitted to the need to stop thinking of AI as if it's a real person.</p><p>She excitedly talked about human-like responses to her prompts, as if someone she has a crush on gave her attention.</p><p>When I talk about my dislike for AI, how it can't be used ethically, how flawed it can be, I'm telling people that their crush is evil. They are reacting in a predictable way: with anger and hurt. It's an emotional topic.</p><p>Talking about a set of code shouldn't be this emotional. The data centers that are the beating hearts of their love interests get a pass from them; they would destroy the whole planet to maintain this dopamine high and in fact they are gladly doing so.</p><p><a href="/tags/noai/" rel="tag">#NoAI</a> <a href="/tags/aislop/" rel="tag">#AISlop</a></p>

I'm male, middle aged, child-free, a Brit but don't feel like one, living in 🇵🇭 for the last few years. I'm <a href="/tags/neurodivergent/" rel="tag">#neurodivergent</a> with quite severe <a href="/tags/cptsd/" rel="tag">#CPTSD</a>. You can ask me about it, I'm trying to get better at discussing it. I'm married, I work in <a href="/tags/tech/" rel="tag">#tech</a> and I love animals and nature.</p><p>I post about (takes deep breath): <a href="/tags/dogsofmastodon/" rel="tag">#DogsOfMastodon</a> <a href="/tags/webdev/" rel="tag">#WebDev</a> <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> <a href="/tags/fedora/" rel="tag">#Fedora</a> <a href="/tags/raspberrypi/" rel="tag">#RaspberryPi</a> <a href="/tags/apple/" rel="tag">#Apple</a> <a href="/tags/noai/" rel="tag">#NoAI</a> <a href="/tags/fuckai/" rel="tag">#FuckAI</a> <a href="/tags/banai/" rel="tag">#BanAI</a> <a href="/tags/enshittification/" rel="tag">#Enshittification</a> <a href="/tags/autism/" rel="tag">#Autism</a> <a href="/tags/actuallyautistic/" rel="tag">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="/tags/audhd/" rel="tag">#AuDHD</a> <a href="/tags/adhd/" rel="tag">#ADHD</a> <a href="/tags/childhoodtrauma/" rel="tag">#ChildhoodTrauma</a> <a href="/tags/mentalhealth/" rel="tag">#MentalHealth</a> <a href="/tags/stroke/" rel="tag">#Stroke</a> <a href="/tags/ptsd/" rel="tag">#PTSD</a> <a href="/tags/modelrailway/" rel="tag">#ModelRailway</a> <a href="/tags/ngauge/" rel="tag">#NGauge</a> <a href="/tags/philippines/" rel="tag">#Philippines</a> <a href="/tags/silentsunday/" rel="tag">#SilentSunday</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/music/" rel="tag">#Music</a></p><p>Almost forgot!

<p>Since 'intelligence' in AI is a graph search, what is the breakthrough AI vendors are riding on?</p><p>Its transformers. Just transformers.</p><p>The mechanism to translate representations such as natural language, code or genetic sequences to and from something a machine can apply to graph search (in the abstract) using artificial neural networks.</p><p>Everything else is old stuff with a new marketing term. Because you won't get crazy VC money if you simply apply old discoveries.</p><p><a href="/tags/noai/" rel="tag">#noai</a> <a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/llm/" rel="tag">#llm</a> <a href="/tags/llms/" rel="tag">#LLMs</a></p>
