  • AI (can we just call it LLM please?) on itself isn’t a problem. Its a tool, the end. The problem is how its currently implemented, mostly by big tech who loves razing forrests to built giant data centers that slurp energy and water with no end, all built with so much ram and GPU power that the markets have died. And all of that so that people can mostly cheat on their job or exams, or produce child porn, and of course destroy millions of jobs (I’m in that category, jobless for well over 6 months, can’t find any job anymore)

    Fuck all of that, and fuck big tech.

    But that doesn’t mean that LLMs are fundamentally evil or something. Its software, its a tool, its basically an interactive distance measurementdatabase.

    The problem is not what it is, its how it currently is being used













  • Microsoft’s specification has previously caused problems for other vendors like LibreOffice’s The Document Foundation (TDF) too. There is some controversial history behind this feud between the two formats

    No, there was no feud. What happened is that when Microsoft had to create an open document format that everyone could use, they purposefully made their format impossible to implement by anyone. IIRC, The open doc forma spec does it all and is 1500 pages large, whereas the Microsoft format doc is well over 6000 pages long and contains closed parts still anyways.

    This is just standard Microsoft strategy and it worked again and dumb fucks again decided to stay married to Microsoft Microsoft because at apparently they love being abused
