Tell me you refuse to allow your mind to think critically about anything …

Fun thing about these dorks that isn’t mentioned enough: LLMs both consume energy AND content
They constantly need content to consume in order to improve or they just human centipede (™ my wife)
Every time they’re like “I generated a book based on these books” that new book is 5% worse than the last

I assume you know this but a lot of folks don’t and it’s a basic reason why gen AI blows
Its 100 “books” away from actual trash
What a great technology lol

josie.zone•7 days ago

I am aware and terrified!

davidprecht.bsky.social•7 days ago

The “we don’t need people to write things, AI can do it” crowd keeps falling on their faces, getting up and repeating
Its bad. AI isn’t necessarily bad as there are like a handful of positive use cases but universally, gen AI is just shit
I have a hard time taking them seriously

The "thousand monkeys with a thousand typewriters" except the monkeys are slaves, the typewriters are stolen and there's no paper

For a second I read this as, "I sleep in a big bed with my boobs," which is a thing he also will never get to do

I only trust people with a dragon hoard of books around them at all times.

I basically live in a (a very messy) library.

One of the gimmicks that they don't get:

The person who read the book can answer questions about it. Another person who read the book can interact with the reader about the subject matter.

They gained knowledge of the material.

This guy drank coffee for 58 minutes and thought highly of himself.

The most annoying thing to me is that he claims it takes two hours to read a book, and yet he only accounts for 1 hour of his time in his comparison. While us peasants read for two hours, he asks AI to compile slop for 2 minutes, drinks coffee for 58 minutes, and then.. disappears into the void??

baddielynn.bsky.social•7 days ago

Takes him an hour to read the slop maybe?

ersatzgrace.bsky.social•7 days ago

Think of it this way: that guy so completely distrusts his own cognitive processes that he’s decided it’s somehow “better” to create an ecological wasteland to avoid them.

58 minutes straight bro??? Digestive nightmare

jenniefields.bsky.social•7 days ago

These people don’t want to think for themselves… They don’t want to learn how to think, gather ,to think or be able to structure their own opinions. They just want the easy way out and to blindly follow.

boxbrown.bsky.social•7 days ago

is this really what we’re using AI to do? stand there drinking coffee doing nothing. no thoughts happening at all.

thejessness.bsky.social•7 days ago

and feeling smug. don’t forget the smugness.

Sweet, smooth-brained bliss

Drowning myself in the smells of paper and ink

nonsequitrd.bsky.social•7 days ago

reading a book while drinking coffee is now considered multitasking

sloucherzine.bsky.social•7 days ago

Nice jammies, did your books buy them for you?

franzferdinand2.bsky.social•7 days ago

I mean, I think he gives the game away by thinking that it takes 2 hours to read a book.

aftonnelson.bsky.social•7 days ago

kenlowery.bsky.social•7 days ago

To me that's a giveaway his idea of "books" is those CEO-aimed books called like Mind Hack: Thinking at the Speed of Thought that are in like 16-point font and are 80 pages long

mbhare.bsky.social•7 days ago

superb Fake Book Name, A+

josie.zone•7 days ago

Yeah it's perfect

mbhare.bsky.social•7 days ago

gonna have "MIND HACK: Thinking at the Speed of Thought" stuck in my head for the rest of the day

talestoenrage.bsky.social•7 days ago

I read one of those at a manager’s request. It felt like I was in grade school for business babies.

kenlowery.bsky.social•7 days ago

They're SO bad and SO fucking trite and those guys think that shit is SO profound

jennymarie.bsky.social•7 days ago

my friend calls these "business books for airport people"

This is, as many have pointed out, why Sun Tzu remains so popular among them: It was written in babytalk for idiotic failsons to prevent them from immediately destroying the polity upon taking any sort of power

franzferdinand2.bsky.social•7 days ago

It wasn't until the "Who Moved My Cheese" episode of If Books Could Kill that I realized these things are written at a level just above Fun with Dick and Jane.

eddiestats.bsky.social•6 days ago

protagonist of the 2 hr book

guydebored.bsky.social•7 days ago

Also that 2 minutes plus 58 minutes equals 2 hours

gasolinejoy.bsky.social•7 days ago

Drink coffee for 58 minutes? While staring at a wall, or what?

aprosperousmonster.bsky.social•6 days ago

The "well-structured query" is something along the lines of "write me a snide social media post that implies other people are stupider than I am for reading a book"

And probably is a deep subconscious echo of "Mommy why can't you just do my homework for me?!"

What I love about this is the person using AI doesn’t understand that 2 minutes + 58 minutes is not 2 hours. Classic AI mistake.
