I would love for ab education system where AI just wouldn't help - i.e. that's focussed on application of knowledge and its adaption instead of reciting it.

But that is so far off that your take seems to be the only sane one. Especially your second paragraph: it would be so easy to show how broken these models are.

Although it would need way more time for teachers to just stay up to date. Just a few weeks ago my default prompt was fixed and my example of "this will literally kill you" now gives out proper results. Need to find a new, deadly LLM invention!

    Haha a LLM wouldn't have made these mistakes though. I will rather make my mistakes than delegate communicating with people to my machine, let alone someone else's.

    Thanks for calling it out, will fix!

    Edit: it's hilarious though that you take a non LLM users error as proof that LLMs will go away because their users get dumber. I should be your proof that at least my writing should be replaced by a machine, no?

    My question is: "how?"

    I can't imagine a path where what you're calling "AI" (fixing marketing term) will disappear again.

    "Inevitable" is a weird term die me - it's here. Someone must happen for it to disappear again.

    Perhaps you're thinking of specific user groups? ( "Makes most people stupid" for example is something I fully get. Just like Facebook though and that never went away either :( )

    (edit: stupid writing mistakes)

    Do i understand you correct that you expect humanity to at one point no longer use machine learning and/or generative models?

    Because I'd be honestly interested in the train of thought leading to that - I can't imagine it.

    The corporate machine drying up, sure - but removing use? No idea.

    Hey everyone,

    Perhaps I'm just needing a nudge to get out of decision paralysis. I had a toolhead breakdown due to a hardware failure and decided to rebuild as a A4T V2 because why not? I wanted to upgrade from the old Afterburner anyway at some time so now might be perfect!

    But now I have to choose ... Orbiter 2.5 and Sherpa Mini are the options supported from the get-go. But for either I found "for sure that one!" voices.

    For the hotend l go with the rapido X.

    Or do I even go with a different toolhead all together?

    I can't simply print a stealthburner anyway because the backup printer I have available only has a print area of 115x115 so I couldn't make the front plate fit anyway. And I really don't feel like printing a new.

    Any voice of reason, experience or opinion is very welcome - I literally just need to stop staring at websites and ... Decide.

    No.

    The password is actually physically written up on paper in a huge stack without reference or context in a "if something happens" folder for my wife.

    I also manage my 2FA in that safe which counters the idea of the second factor as defined by the companies but my safe itself is a second factor.

    Database loss is impossible for me because of a misconception in your description: basically by definition, backups can't be "overwritten" with old data . A backup is write-once. Everything else is just a sparkly copy.

    I'm serious: change your backup strategy please! Incrementell backups don't use that mich more space and actually back up a status of what you had no matter what you do after or why your local data is broken.

    "I overwrote my stuff" should never destroy a backup IMO.

    You know that's another good point, while I was around then and even had a computer back then I'm from a non English country and just learned "PC == personal computer". It never occurred to me that Apple might have reacted to a US terms or definition up until this very moment it was always "they just wanna be different and fancy".

    Perhaps a USA person my age bracket can give insights!

    Oh interesting!

    But funnily enough these ads didn't air where I grew up and Apple was never even close to the price of a non-Apple PC

    Oh and: Apple, you've sold PCs as well! Just because you picked up a cat and put stripes on it you couldn't just proclaim "look, a tiger!". But then again ... You could. And you did. And in still furious that people bought it.

    The first apple device I recall was the Apple II.

    Please help me out: I can't recall a single thing where Apple ever was cheaper than the competition.

    Their selling point was "works better" and then became "everyone be different (in the same way though!)".

    What set their devices apart was the smoothness in which everything worked. First the devices and later their ecosystem. I despise vendor lock-in and never went for them because of that but I can see the appeal.

    Price though? This meme is the first time I've heard of that argument, someone please help me out.
