I know not many of you care about LLMs/other ai models but I think this really shows the amount of loneliness and in our society. Look at how it presents itself on Google. As an AI that feels alive, always available, that understands you. People don’t use this service to summarize text or get help with their programming homework like they might chatgpt. They are selling artificial companionship.

That’s an extremely weird point of comparison. You do one or two google searches per google search, and dozens of messages in a chat session. Probably hundreds for the poor saps this is preying on.

Whatsapp has 140 billion messages per day.

That’s a good point, it was their comparison Wouldn’t be a tech company without hyping yourself up as much as possible.

That is a much better comparison though. 1% of Whatsapp still sounds like a ton of users/messsages.

yes, until you realize that 1 GPT query consumes 1567% (15x) the amount of energy of a single google search result…

Cut out the middle man. Smart. Half my searches produce pages and pages of gibberish only an LLM would write.

At this point I just use DuckDuckGo or Yandex, what kind of sucks is that Yandex will direct you to Duginist brainrot, but they’re good for looking up pro-Palestine content.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
