LLMs certainly hold potential, but as we’ve seen time and time again in tech over the last fifteen years, the hype and greed of unethical pitchmen has gotten way out ahead of the actual locomotive. A lot of people in “tech” are interested in money, not tech. And they’re increasingly making decisions based on how to drum up investment bucks, get press attention and bump stock, not on actually improving anything.

The result has been a ridiculous parade of rushed “AI” implementations that are focused more on cutting corners, undermining labor, or drumming up sexy headlines than improving lives. The resulting hype cycle isn’t just building unrealistic expectations and tarnishing brands, it’s often distracting many tech companies from foundational reality and more practical, meaningful ideas.

    theres a cute programm, call the goblin chef. if you feed it ingredients, along with amounts, and numbers of people to cook for, it spits out some neat recipes.

    But it specifically warns you that it cant actually taste things. If you list ice and bacon, it’ll probably combine those two into a dish. (although now i doesnt recognize “one fresh kitten” as an ingredient anymore q.q)

      Bacon and ice cream go great together and I refuse to pretend they don’t.

      I still miss midnight snack ice cream. Potato chips covered in chocolate. Delicious
