“Mark Zuckerberg is realizing there’s a limit to ruthless efficiency”.

Cost cutting is not synonymous with efficiency. It’s sad that a business focused magazine doesn’t see through the bullshit.

• Losing 70+ billion on the failed VR experiment and laying off workers related to VR has zero to do with efficiency. It’s just stopping losses without having any other positive effects. No efficiency gain here because the whole thing is mothballed.
• Putting AI bros in decision making positions and demoting highly payed engineers who actually know how the platform works to AI training babysitters: Not very efficient so far because the fuck ups are getting costly quickly.

There is more, but why should I give a fuck about Meta. Let this dumpster fire burn.

Can’t read the whole article bc paywall… But if they are really worried about token cost for converting PDF to a Powerpoint, they ain’t seen nothing yet. Agentic coding the way AI companies push it (multiple agents in parallel with Claude, looping etc) uses way way wayyyyy more tokens than this.

We already know what is going to happen because we’ve seen it all before. At launch the game will be riddled with bugs, there will be obscure server connection issues (for a singleplayer game), complaints, sadness, tears and anger. I’ll pick it up when it’s on sale and if it runs on Linux.

Do they? I only use local models on my GPU and my experience is that Qwen3.6 is so much better than Google’s Gemma 4. I have no comparison to big models, because I refuse to use those. But friends told me that Claude and Co are doing pretty dumb things too while frying the planet

I think a major problem is that it is difficult to prove which IP is in the model data. That’s why the AI companies argue that there isn’t a verbatim copy in the model, and therefore it’s not theft. The law in most countries is not equipped to deal with this scenario

Absolutely true, but that doesn’t change the fact that those AI companies stole the knowledge to train their models and they did this on a massive scale.

It’s so ridiculous to see a guy torrenting a few movies getting jailtime while the AI companies make off with the biggest IP heist in history and get applauded for it.

Good for you, but you and me and most of lemmy are not the target group. Millions of gullible braindead consumerists are.

Derzeit wird der Begriff “KI” in den Medien in den allermeisten Fällen synonym mit LLMs verwendet. Andere ML Anwendungen kommen meist nur dann ins Spiel um die Nützlichkeit von “KI” darzustellen. Ein lustiges kleines Täuschungsmanöver und es funktioniert jedes Mal. Weil der durchschnittliche Deutsche immer noch ein Faxgerät im Kopf hat.

Ich will damit nicht sagen, dass LLMs generell nutzlos wären. Die Mystifizierung und Anthropomorphisierung (uff, was für ein Wort) der Technologie und der direkt daraus folgende Missbrauch/Falschnutzung sind ein wesentliches Problem. Die Modelle selbst als Wissensspeicher zu missbrauchen führt genau zu der angesprochenen Zementierung des Status Quo.

Kind of weird that Nvidia is in there to boost the plus side. That’s like including a road construction company in a car sales chart

Are they unique, like fingerprints? What a great idea!

/s obviously

What’s your setup, if I may ask? I’m using llama.cpp router with vscode kilo.ai and qwen3.6-35B-MoE-MTP as a model mostly. It’s surprisingly good as a coding assistant, but I think you have to know what you are doing and know your stuff(aka be an experienced developer) to make it useful. just letting it vibe leads to crap code

Ragebait and trolling are fine for me, but there is imo one place where this doesn’t belong: The rules section of a lemmy community

Weird, I can’t find it on my PC

It doesn’t even matter if AI or not. The point is, if you’re too dumb/lazy/busy/whatever to come up with an idea yourself, at least don’t tell your date that you are.

Not yet

Well they haven’t got much else in their life tbf

You don’t even have to be married for that

Refreshing article in classic El Reg fashion. Also interesting that the pope seems to have a better understanding of LLMs than Olah.

Description of the author at the end of the article had me howling. I’ll just leave it here for y’all to enjoy.
