It uses halium and libhybris. Flatpak apps work perfectly fine on my FLX1. I have no usability issues with the phone at all.

Sometimes. My feet don't have a random chance to send me in a random direction to that which I intend.

...you can do that with a pencil, though.

What an impossibly weird thing to "need" an LLM for.

If you haven't read it yourself how do you know that the LLM is correct?

I always want to donate more to open source projects but as far as I know there aren't any I can get tax credits for in Canada. My budget is strapped just enough that I can't quite afford to donate for nothing.

Any Canadian residents here know of any tax credit eligible software projects to donate to?

LLMs literally only tell you what you want to hear. They are Dunning-Krueger machines.

Ask it about something you don't know: you'll learn something new.

Ask it about something you do know: you'll raise your eyebrow, "huh that's not quite right..."

The current administration is using LLMs which are telling them to instruct the NSA not to talk about privilege escalation.

I addressed that: bad policies and decisions don't go away just because of LLMs. They will always exist, it's just that now they'll exist at the same time as people gaslighting themselves into believing that LLMs are helping to eliminate them.

Ignoring the fact that this comment is literally nihilist and simultaneously anti-natalist (read: you are simply advocating for the elimination of the human race)... yes I addressed that.

> Now you'll likely come back and say "but X policy was bad and it was because it was poorly researched". Absolutely! Yes, bad policies exist. Poorly researched policies exist. Poorly implemented policies exist.

> Good policies researched well also exist. And the bad ones aren't going away because of the magical word generator.

You will notice that the US is gearing up for additional warfare with the help of AI.

Really? How have policies been made for the past hundred years without it then?

It's completely bonkers that people keep saying stuff like this, virtually implying that we didn't have a functional society before LLMs.

LLMs are tools that generate word salads that sound compelling. They are not research aids and they can't help you understand things better than the plethora of tools we already developed over the centuries can.

So no, the alternative is policy makers doing what policy makers have always done: research, polling, reading, talking, and more research.

Now you'll likely come back and say "but X policy was bad and it was because it was poorly researched". Absolutely! Yes, bad policies exist. Poorly researched policies exist. Poorly implemented policies exist.

Good policies researched well also exist. And the bad ones aren't going away because of the magical word generator.

Seriously. Stop using LLMs to "help" you do stuff you already know how to do.

Not to mention that the radicalisation and terrorism USAID helped prevent from fomenting has likely saved the US many trillions in rebuilding efforts and healthcare.

The poem won't be unique. It will follow a basic formula and make sure to pick up the words you asked it to use. You might not get the exact same poem every single time, but there's a reason that you can tell when something has been generated.

A good recent example are the lyrics of the songs on an album by a band called Saor. The album is called Amidst the Ruins.

That's because you're beginning with the assertion that LLMs are tools. You cannot create things with an LLM. You can't be creative with them. They are not useful for building things. What you get out of an LLM is a regurgitation of existing information, peppered with assumptions based on your query.

They're not tools.

A hammer helps you build a house. An LLM helps you read StackOverflow in the most inefficient means possible.

This very much sounds like you would consider asking a Subway employee for a sandwich to be 'cooking'...

You have to remember that fascism's application of othering is not logical, it's just a convenient method of gaining leverage. The Nazis targeted Jews because it was easy to weave a narrative about them, and because their population within Germany itself was so small that it was electorally inconsequential to victimise them. You see this with the Musk-Trump regime's position on trans people; trans people are not a threat to anyone, and are so few in number that you can easily weave a narrative about them and use it to push a more extreme agenda.

You are absolutely correct that modern Nazis are not really bothered by the Jews, but you have to remember that fascists just look for easy targets to hate.

Essentially, yeah, fine, he's not a card carrying member of the NSDAP. But he's a hateful individual pursuing a hateful agenda all the same, and he did the salute to signal to edgelords that he sees them.
