I’m guessing they’re saying that small/fewer breakages are less painful than big/numerous breakages.

They said they already went through this once before. Also you assume that “it’s weird” is some kind of vicious attack but it’s not.

Yeah now that I look back there are more than like 3 people not mad/rude about it.

Getting mad is kinda just what social media does

I would say it’s what the Internet does. Post a question on stack overflow and you’ll get the meanest responses each one telling you you’re stupider than the last. Same vibes in this thread.

I was just taking issue with the responses ignoring the context given, and rudely. If I say I can’t use something and why (and that why is other people’s opinions) it’s super unhelpful to angrily tell me why those other people are wrong. It’s irrelevant if they’re wrong or not. I think I could’ve overlooked whether it is relevant or not honestly, but comment after comment saying it, many of them with a shitty tone, is why I commented.

I’m working on a script that checks my files, dir structure, and audio metadata for issues. For basic problems that can be fixed with a command, the script outputs a suggested command in a csv. I’ve cleaned up many issues with the script so far…

Been thinking of sharing it but it’s still very much a WIP.

OP is relaying an opinion they got from multiple people and frankly an expected one. You got weirdly mad at them for it.

Firstly, sorry you’re having this problem and sorry the responses here have been nearly universally unhelpful and aggressive. This is a pretty perfect case study of what I don’t like about the fediverse. There’s a lot to like about this place but what drives me nuts is the unhinged and reality-divorced types who cannot understand something so simple as normal people thinking things are weird. Half the respondents here think you should scream at your coworkers about this and/or quit. You asked an incredibly reasonable and relatable question and mostly got shat on for it. Just wanted to say that someone sees how ridiculous it is, not everyone here is lost completely in their own (hateful) world. Sorry I don’t have a solution for you.

Even if you were right this message would be irrelevant to 99% of the population and within the 1% who know or care who he is, minimum 75% wouldn’t be swayed by him saying that. Plus, him saying he used it is not praise.

I have no problem pointing out precisely what you’ve said. I’ll freely admit to having zero curiosity about a zealot’s views or motivations. Nothing could bore me more.

you’re just trotting out a word so you don’t have to think anymore.

Firstly, it’s an incredibly accurate description of what you’re doing here

Secondly, you have no clue what views I hold and you’re not even slightly curious. The only reason you commented here was to make my day a little worse. You think it’s justified because of your pigheaded refusal to accept reality. But it’s not.

Lmfao dude you are demonizing anyone who uses any LLM the same as someone who uses it constantly and irresponsibly. Who is threatened by people different from them? You’re embodying exactly the out of touch rage I’m criticizing.

Your absolutism will take you nowhere. No one will bother to even listen you because you aren’t able to communicate about this topic.

Right, so we know Linus has used Claude for one project. You are saying there is no excuse for that and I don’t agree. I don’t think it makes sense to take absolute stances against things that will undoubtedly be used by most everyone eventually. Just like I think cars are generally bad, I’m not about to get pissed off at everyone who drives them.

Okay, and? So he should either change his own processes or keep them secret because some dickbag might claim he’s legitimized their product?

I think people in a bubble like this platform seem to miss that AI tools are already “legitimized”. I am not stating an opinion, I’m just saying what the average person thinks, which is that they are useful. The reality is a lot more complicated than that and I think they’re leading us bad places but I don’t think your argument works at all

is there a difference in the environmental destruction when used this way?

Yes. There is no doubt that if you use an LLM for everything that will use several fold more times electricity than someone who uses it a few times a year.

Like I said, binary thinking. You’re literally saying there is no difference in 1 and 1000000 because both are more than zero.

People cannot seem to grasp that there is a difference in using LLMs to experiment and just blindly using code written by an LLM. You’d think they would realize Linus is never going to do the latter. Binary thinking leads to this…

The non-tech people I know have been buying Google phones for years. Which have their own issues, but as products they seem light-years ahead of Samsung.

Op seems to be denying that Google phones exist, or that anyone knows about them? Which is odd to me, they’re quite popular actually.
