  Holy shit, man, fuck off already. We’re diametrically opposed on this, no one is having their mind changed and I’m tired of making fun of you at this point. Get a fucking life.

    Yeah, sucks when you dig yourself this deep into a hole isn’t it? Feel dumb yet? Consider it a life lesson

    Deep Learning has been around 14 years. LLMs 6. AI Agents 4.

    88% of businesses use it. State Governments are striking deals with AI companies to implement it into their systems.

    And the people who have been the earliest adaptors of this technology, the people who know the most about it because they’ve been dealing with it the longest? IT and Tech.

    But yeah, I’m not even a software engineer right? What would I know?

    Except literally all of that and it’s exactly what I told you… but nah, clearly you know it’s the next Virtual Boy and it’s going to die off any second now

    lol

      Jesus christ, if you’re going to shill at least get the right timeline of things. This stuff is way older than that and has been used in different kind of programs and software for a shit ton of back end computation and analysis. What do you think runs procedurally generated video game layouts?

      There are reasonable use cases for LLMs, they’re still not Jesus and still not doing anything new other than automating your thoughts and opinions to that of the owners while blanking out the consumer tech market, significantly raising surrounding temperatures where “AI” data centers are, and wasting more water than local municipalities and farming communities while providing no tangible growth nor financial success due to the energy demands of making computers do something that you could just as easily do yourself if you weren’t such a lazy, self-serving, idiot fuck.

      Let’s go with game boy, a staggeringly successful device despite its lack of quality compared to the rest of the market. We’ve had and used it for years successfully, but it has HARD limits on what it can actually accomplish. You’re telling me that the gameboy is going to revolutionize our future when it’s already done everything it is functionally capable of, anything past that point is dangerously stupid and detrimental to tech as a whole and will lead to market and consumer stagnation of tech across the board. It’s like when we put radium in everything just because it can glow in the dark and so a lot of idiots thought that meant it was some kind of magical panacea. There are still good uses for radium, but your wrist watch isn’t one of them.

        I said you’re free to hate it but it’s not going away

        You told me it was the Virtual Boy, a failed product that didn’t even last a year

        Suddenly it’s all, “It’s been around even longer than you say” and “there are reasonable use cases for LLMS”

        Yeah, sucks to be a moron doesn’t it?

        Bet you won’t make that stupid fucking claim ever again

        As far as your gameboy analogy goes, handheld gaming definitly didn’t go away. It wasn’t a fad, and it’s still here… compare the game boy to your fucking phone and realize what a dipshit you still are
