[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 child) Personal Computers; Modems: How much Speed Makes Sense? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 2 months ago At one point computers managed to change the world... I wonder how society will work to now go back to doing everything with paper and pencil, given how you can barely stop the machine from claiming that there are 5 R's in strarwrberry or that 1+1= sorry but you need to upgrade to our premium package in order to continue using your quota of tokens... I mean obviously we here all use Arch btw Linux (yup, each and every one, no exceptions allowed, dontchaknow? 😜), but if e.g. your bank uses Windoze then when Microdick decides to replace their calculator with a SAS LLM app - and ban all alternative computation apps from their store (whatever its called) - then that will impact you as a customer? Just like computers used to work fine offline, before MS claimed that it was outright mandatory to connect to the internet. LLMs today are simply a new round in the same old game. permalink fedilink source parent
