  • Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 26th January 2025 - awful.systems - awful.systems

  • holy shit, that’s the excuse they’re going for? they cheated on a benchmark so hard the results are totally meaningless, sold their most expensive new models yet on the back of that cheated benchmark, further eroded the scientific process both with their cheating and by selling those models as better for scientific research… and these weird fucks want that to be fine and normal? fuck them

  • holy fuck those comments. are all these people huffing CO2?

    I get the some streamers looked at @elonmusk's gameplay and it looks like a shared account, maybe with his kids or something, and it seems unlikely he's made all that PoE2 progress on his own.

    But has he actually said something about his play of PoE2 that is contradicted by this? Do we have an actual quote from him that would be a lie if their assessment of his on stream PoE2 gameplay is accurate?

    The critics who leap to assuming he's not (or was not) a good (pro-level) gamer in general are making a huge leap with their "gotcha" moment.

    uhm if you’d just look at the facts and ignore everything musk said and ignore the other times he was caught cheating, it’s perfectly reasonable that an extremely busy businessman like daddy musk would just have his 6 year old son play this extremely difficult game at a top level and then repeatedly claim his son’s accomplishments as his own. and by the transitive property that makes musk a pro-level gamer! QED woke critics or as professional quake players like musk and I say: lol zerg rush gg

  • Obviously, if you are dealing with a novel problem, then the LLM can’t produce a meaningful answer.

    it doesn’t produce any meaningful answers for non-novel problems either

  • guess again

    what the locals are probably taking issue with is:

    If you want a more precise model, you need to make it larger.

    this shit doesn’t get more precise for its advertised purpose when you scale it up. LLMs are garbage technology that plateaued a long time ago and are extremely ill-suited for anything but generating spam; any claims of increased precision (like those that openai makes every time they need more money or attention) are marketing that falls apart the moment you dig deeper — unless you’re the kind of promptfondler who needs LLMs to be good and workable just because it’s technology and because you’re all-in on the grift

  • both those are related to information theory, but there are other things I legally can’t mention. shrug.

    hahahaha fuck off with this. no, the horseshit you’re fetishizing doesn’t fix LLMs. here’s what quantization gets you:

    • the LLM runs on shittier hardware
    • the LLM works worse too
    • that last one’s kinda bad when the technology already works like shit

    anyway speaking of basic information theory:

    but the research showing that 3 bits is as good as 64 is intuitive once you tie the original inspiration for some of the AI designs.

    lol

    All of the top tech companies now were once spending cash faster than they could make it, and all the naysayers saying they’d never be profitable.

  • this is a gentle reminder to posters in this thread that the fediverse in general is nowhere near secure from an opsec perspective; don’t post anything that compromises yourself or us.

    with that said, happy December 4th to those who celebrate. post commemorative cocktail recipes here.

    [*] if anyone replies to this to kneejerk slobber over chick-fil-a’s nasty fucking chicken: why. which part of it is good. it’s not the sauces or the brine or the breading and it’s definitely not some combination of all those things. why the fuck is this garbage fried chicken popular when literally every other choice is better. please for the love of fuck eat some Church’s or try a local place, you’ll discover the idea of flavor and it’ll astound you
