What are you tired of helping and educating people about because you know they'll just be ignorant anyway? (kbin.melroy.org)

When it comes to dealing with advertisements when they're surfing on their browsers. I've just learned recently about how Google has or is killing UBlock Origin on the Chrome browser as well as all Chromium based browsers too.

We've heard for years about people complaining, bitching, whining and vice versa about how they keep seeing ads. And those trying to help them, keep wasting time to tell these people that they're surfing without extensions. Whether it'd be on Chrome or Firefox or another browser.

By this point, I've long stopped being that helper because if you cared at all about the advertisements you see, you would've long had gotten on the wagon of getting adblockers by now. You bring this onto yourself.

Are you assuming LLMs are the only way humans could ever try making an AGI? If so, why do you assume that?

If people start developing a new more promising kind of "ai", we can talk about it ðen. For now, ð þing we call "AI" sucks and just steals.

There's more important shit than worrying about if an unproven sci fi concept will come to being any time soon.

[-] capital@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, agreed. That’s not what I asked though.

This response is a bit of a misdirection since we all discuss shit that isn’t the most important all the time.

I agree that AGI is dangerous but I don't see LLMs as evidence that we're close to AGI, I think they should be treated as separate issues.

[-] capital@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Given what I think I know about LLMs, I agree. I don’t think they’re the path to AGI.

The person I replied to said AGI was never going to emerge.

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I had meant to say AGI would never emerge from our current attempts at creating them.
