Minute Cryptic - 1 December, 2025 (yes. My feeling about LLM based AI are complicated. Computers, and computing in general are very useful boosters of human productivity and ways to spread knowledge in all forms. But the training data is, seemingly deliberately, often opaque, which is unfair because copyrighted material, including FOSS licensed material,, are sucked in as training data and laundered. At a minimum it's the equivalent of a person borrowong images or text from somewhere and changing it enough that they can claim it as their own. Which is impolite, bad form, and doesn't reward people for making and sharing because the reward is useable or useful things they can use and be attributed to. Furthermore in India and other places various companies are trialling bundling relatively premium AI subscriptions, cheaply, with phone contracts. That is not altruism. It's the standard playbook of offering it cheap now and being forced, by market and stakeholder financial pressure, to squeeze increasing monetisation from it later and the training data gathered from the inputted work of hundreds of millions of young Indians. There is a cognitive balance between reading and doing and the "forgetting curve" is a real thing. For lazy people and those who haven't learnt to learn it's going to make them dumber and for those who have learnt to learn it's going to make them smarter. Good questions are a skill. Added to the fact that, following the form of all other microelectronics from the 1960s onwards, the underlying technology will obsolete itself every few years making ROI calculations, let alone productivity and profitabity claims very, very, difficult to predict and dubious. And one of the early waves of attack on Bitcoin was the power consumption. The power required to produce AI slop videos alone will shit on that. Apart from that AI is great especially for smart people and those with existing knowledge. It will level up a lot of people who otherwise would not get the chance to learn. Not checked for spelling or grammar. T'is not robogabber.)
