    It’s not all hype.

    nVidia has some SERIOUS R&D in the use of AI for the past 10 years.

    But using AI in the graphic space… upscaling, downscaling, faking lighting, faking physics… This is all very useful in making videogames.

    Then there was a leap in the way AI Image generation was done with the above hardware. And that opened up a whole new growing field.

    It’s just some people took basic language models that have been around for 30 years and scaled them up with their hardware. And it was neat, and surprising some of the stuff a LLM would output. But not reliable.

    And then suddenly a lot of layman’s got their hand on the LLM’s and thought it was the 2nd coming of Jesus, and started throwing big money at it… it will be surprise to no one who knows how these AI’s work that that big money isn’t going anywhere.

    But those first two, is no hype. It’s a real viable use case for the AI, and money will be made there.

    People are kinder here, overall.

    That may be because there aren’t troll bots, stoking the fires, to drum up ‘discussion’ which makes it look good to advertisers that it is an active pool of users.

    Did no one see the all the bots around 2015/2016 learning on Reddit?

    They would say all sorts of non-sensical stuff as they learned, until there would be a hit or two that would get responses out of people, and it would re-enforce the bot to say more things like that.

    Guess what kind of stuff/topics gets a plethora of responses?

    Nah,

    I grew up in the world of BBS’s and IRC. First foray into a chat channel started with someone renaming themselves “34yrDude changes name to 15yrChick”

    …and that set the tone for me what the internet is.

    It’s a entire world where you make absolutely zero assumptions. The ‘things’ responding in text could be anything. And I say thing instead of people because these days it may not even a person.

    There’s an entity that responds to my comments, and perhaps seemingly hurtful,

    it could be some 10yr old kid who doesn’t fully understand, it could be could be some mentally challenged person, it could be someone’s crazy grandma,

    and now it could be some bot that while not purposefully built to be malicious, through emergent behavior is trolling and insulting people because it gets a rise out of people that results in more and longer comments, which tickles its feedback loop to do more of the same.

    So nah, there’s nothing anyone in the vast internet could type out that I would personally hurt my feelings, because I make no assumptions as to where the comment is coming from, and those comments don’t have a lot of weight to me.
