My work literally has people in the cafeteria and food courts with their laptops because we don’t have enough seats for everyone.

It’s funny because I know you don’t work at my company but those are word for word the messages we get constantly as we continue to lose IT people and specialists

PerogiBoi , 4 months ago

Our cafeteria is just a big room with chairs. The food court that was next to it has since gone bankrupt during COVID and all the storefronts are empty. It’s a giant Teams call zoo.

Shadow of War is so good. I put 80 hours into it years ago. I’ve been thinking about redownloading it again. Combat system is satisfying, movement system is satisfying. Everything is satisfying.

The bosses you fight rank up if they defeat you and then mock you if they see you (along with their henchmen). Is so cool

PerogiBoi , 4 months ago

I just did and it seems to understand.

Prompt: Can you explain why “I knew a woman who owned a taser. Man, was she stunning!” Is funny?

ChatGPT 3.5: The humor in this statement arises from a play on words. The word “stunning” is typically used to describe someone’s appearance, suggesting they are exceptionally attractive. However, in this context, it’s used in a different way, implying that the woman who owned a taser was stunning in the sense of being capable of stunning or shocking others. The unexpected twist creates a humorous juxtaposition between the two meanings of “stunning.”

3.5 is the only free version. I won’t pay a subscription for a chatbot.

Moodle is free and open source and exactly for this (along with hosting course material as well).

Keep it a secret because there is no benefit. A coworker can mention your planned departure offhand to someone else who then mentions it to your manager and then bam, your life is made absolute hell.

Anytime some bullshit happens at your work that reminds you that you need to leave, take that fucking spite and put it into job applications. Do the applications on your employers time only. Get the bare minimum expected from you done and then spend the rest of the time applying.

Also check out LLM Studio and GPT4all. Both of these let you run private ChatGPT alternatives from Hugging Face and run them off your ram and processor (can also offload to GPU).

Mistral is thought to be almost as good. I’ve used the latest version of mistral and found it more or less identical in quality of output.

It’s not as fast though as I am running it off of 16gb of ram and an old GTX 1060 card.

If you use LLM Studio I’d say it’s actually better because you can give it a pre-prompt so that all of its answers are within predefined guardrails (ex: you are glorb the cheese pirate and you have a passion for mink fur coats).

There’s also the benefit of being able to load in uncensored models if you would like questionable content created (erotica, sketchy instructions on how to synthesize crystal meth, etc).

PerogiBoi , 4 months ago

Absolutely. Synthesizing hard drugs is time consuming and a lot of hard work. Only I get to enjoy it.

Precolonized or just substrate? I wonder if a grow lamp would work. Pretty pricey though for electricity.

Because we live in the version of reality where the worst idea is the best idea and we don’t actually care about anyone’s wellbeing and safety. The car is shaped the way it is to inflict the most fatalities on pedestrians.

I’m proud of you! I recently bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 11. I heard all sorts of crap about it but I wanted to see for myself.

So many basic settings changes (that I’d use fairly often) went from 1-2 clicks to 3-5. They tried so hard to make it look like a mobile OS that they lowered its usability for anyone who doesn’t just use it as an express lane to Google Chrome.

Anyways rocking Ubuntu with Wayland and am happier to troubleshoot little bugs every now and then than put up with spyware.

PerogiBoi , 4 months ago

I just hate all the distractions and news clickbait stuff in the start menu. I use a computer to do tasks and browse media at my own discretion. Get the actual hell out of my face with forced infotainment consumption.

PerogiBoi , 4 months ago

LLMs are seriously dope and the technology behind AI is incredible, but using it for everything isn’t appropriate. I’d like a place to ask a chatbot stuff. I don’t wanna be surrounded in it.

PerogiBoi , 4 months ago

Just goes to show how valuable data is. They’ll do anything to siphon it off you.

PerogiBoi , 4 months ago

I would upvote and comment with more vigour if they took the time to actually make this in real life.

That’s good to hear at least that your dad somewhat came around. Mine left the family and sued us (lost but cost me tens of thousands in legal fees) and ran off with all the money. He now has a second family.

I promise you they will not rehire those they fire to replace with LLMs. I cannot post which company I work for but it one of the largest employers in my country with tens of thousands of employees. We have laid off entire branches of our organization in favour of enterprise GPT-4 licenses.

Several sectors of HR have been replaced, our program analytics and accounting branches have all gone through 3 levels of cuts (we now have a chatbot that handles data viz and HR mediations/parts of various HR processes. Our graphics and design teams are now Stable Diffusion.

These changes were implemented in August of last year. Thousands of employees have been replaced by a handful of different generative AI licenses and we had to take on an additional cost of hiring an offshore consulting firm to feed these models our business data so they would be more customized for our org.

I’m looking for my exit because despite the increased costs and automation, things aren’t working well at all. The HR bot sometimes tells you rules that don’t exist (had to look deep into my contract because HR bot told me I wouldn’t be eligible for severance pay which was false). All of our workloads have quadrupled with losing a good chunk of our staff and trying to fix things that are now broken. I went from 40h/week to 60+ and I’m definitely on the lower spectrum of this.

Sunk cost. They’ve already spent tens of millions on this.

Fr I was told that myself and other Jewish people need to constantly apologize for what is happening in the Israel Hamas conflict otherwise we should all expect to be seen as pro-genocide.

PerogiBoi , 5 months ago

Ya and that paired with all the hate crimes and synagogue attacks in Canada recently and the marches in Jewish neighborhoods really shows me how things actually are.
