Angry_Autist (he/him)

I’m old

And if you’ve seen long form LLM output, you know why publishers aren’t ditching human writers for the foreseeable future

Let me save you some time: There is literally nothing you can post that will cause me to doubt my writing skill, though I invite you to try.

Writing’s just my hobby side hustle and I doubt anyone is going to waste processing power on my particular niche

And I’ve had a lot more setbacks than successes, my aunt isn’t the only one I’ve been working on but she’s the only one to make progress.

Don’t give up! There is a hopeful future at the end of all of this if we can just get 10% of them to understand

I’ve had small success with my aunt by focusing on her love of children, explaining how many are dying under the needlessly cruel boot of Israel

From what I have figured out:

1. They need to already respect you in some way, this does not work on random strangers unless you are a top tier communicator or public figure

2. You need to identify the levers, for my aunt it is babies in danger. It will be different for different people, you need to do your homework

3. INFINITE PATIENCE and consistently reiterating your own genuine respect for them (this can be hard, you may need to dig deep), you need to show them that they aren’t your enemy and that they have been lied to by people they have trusted for nefarious purposes

4. Play on the rights inherent distrust for the elite, Muskrat and co ARE the elite! Look at what he’s doing to medicare!

5. It will take many, many sessions and you CANNOT falter or get impatient or it gives them an excuse to dismiss everything before

It’s not easy, it takes time and effort, though it is doable

Um… do you imagine that churches are somehow run like the military, and that roles of service are badges of office?

Additionally, there was no ‘down the hierarchy’ point made, they just conflated the two roles, which is why I corrected them

Are you having a problem following this conversation? The ‘Show Context’ button can refresh your memory

And yet you replied

You just like arguing, a shame you aren’t very good at it

No, but I do earn enough that I don’t have to work full time and that was my primary goal frankly

Not really, LLMs can’t keep the plot for more than a few paragraphs and still constantly context switch.

Add on top of that we are currently at 90% saturation for what is possible with LLM technology, meaning that the brightest minds in AI have realized that there is no singularity curve approaching infinity but a bottleneck over the cross-indexing of tokens. The more tokens, the exponentially more connections need to be made.

Adding a new token means greater overhead and while our technology grows linearly, the cost per token grows exponentially and that is an unsustainable curve limited by the total global possible processing and we’d need to triple that before the next generation of LLMs can have enough tokens to make a difference in quality

Add on top of that I’ve got 30 years max left to live and I’m pretty confident we won’t see writers lose out in that time.

I’ve tried out several ChatGPT flavors and also NovelAI and they aren’t very good at writing yet.

Sure if you work it you can get a few decent paragraphs but for now LLMs just can’t ‘follow the plot’, and the amount of work needed to keep them on track is basically the same as writing the entire scene yourself

This may change in the future but for now I’m pretty confident that good writers have zero to be concerned about from generative AI

It’s telling that you can only conceive of an online life

Touch grass, friend

As if any engagement farmer would bother wasting energy on lemmy

I am a published writer, so suck every inch of my ass and beg for more.

Deacons aren’t pastors or priests, they are glorified ushers

Well you certainly saw what happens when they didn’t turn up to vote. Congrats

There are few people alive more worthy of eternal hellfire

This your first round in front of the firehose of lies?

Best guess: Russia is a paper bear that need to keep growling before the bookworms eat it

Dugin is a hell of a lot more of a shitbag than just a genocide cheerleader

I don’t think that’s going to matter much once he declares martial law in april

He literally now has the largest military by at least twofold backing him

How do none of you realize how dangerous drumpf’s replacement of the top military brass was. All you did was meme and now he will bend our entire nation to propping up his russ crush
