So your complaint is about LLM slop, but can’t point to anything that’s actually wrong about it other than that there are dashes?
You can use an LLM to create work that isn’t slop. And you can hand write slop with no computer involvement at all. Most of the people I knew in high school 15 years ago would write slop on a daily basis.
Personally, I often paste screenshots into Claude Code of the application it’s working on. And I’ve even had it work autonomously on something and regularly grab its own screenshots.
Or sometimes I will have tables, charts, or even screenshots of text that I would otherwise have to have another step to OCR or type out.
Multimodal saves me time on a regular basis. Not sure it’s a game changer, but just lets me communicate with the model in all sorts of ways that would be harder otherwise.
Maybe the deaths would have happened, or maybe these places would have become self sufficient or received aid elsewhere. There’s really no way to know.
But we committed to providing this aid. Even if we think it would be better in the long term for others to do it instead, there’s no excuse to cut it off suddenly without making reasonable efforts at a transition.
Imagine you’re the long term caretaker for a family member, then just decide one day you’re tired of it, so stop. You make no attempt to find somebody else to take over, you simply stop bringing them their meds/food or whatever.
Do you think your family should then forgive you after grandma dies? I don’t think so.
I don’t know, does global cancer research shut down when you stop giving the $500? Do kids immediately stop receiving treatment?
USAID literally ran ambulance systems that shut down due to lack of diesel. They delivered lifesaving drugs that stopped.
We made commitments to communities to run these services, then suddenly killed them off. We didn’t try to find other countries to step in. We didn’t try to get the local governments to take over.
We did jack shit to try to preserve lives in this transition process.
Elon himself promoted Grok’s “spicy mode” that allowed generating NSFW content that the other AI vendors wouldn’t touch with a 20 foot pole.
Believe whatever you want. Elon’s beliefs and personality problems have been baked into the core of Grok, so it’s no surprise that it turned out to be a CSAM-generating MechaHitler that steals people’s data.
Anybody surprised when Grok turns out to be trash really should read up on the guy who made it.
Yup, but apparently our cyborg cats can only be kittens and the cyborg mice are probably going to be like 4 feet tall. At least according to the US government.
