yeah, I meant the "old school" doomers who thought the AI would start to replicate and upgrade itself and turn into Skynet basically and humans would be helpless to stop it.
Now the likely doom is just Elon Musk running the planet and turning forests into data centers for 3D waifus. 🙃
That was my concern at first, wondering if they'd been turned into a wild-eyed doomer from drinking too much of the Kool-Aid on the negative side…but my own conclusion is they sound reasonably level-headed and likely had an "Are We the Baddies?" awakening of some kind. I also would agree AI isn't the only major "problem" facing the world, it's merely part of a cluster of interconnected issues and I appreciated his acknowledgment of that.
I'm tired of arguing with you about this, and you're still wrong. It was opt-out, not opt-in, based initially on a GitHub crawl of 137M repos and 52B files before filtering & dedup.
It is still trained on open source code on GitHub. These code communities seemingly have no way to opt out of their free (libre) contributions being used as training data, nor does the resulting code generation contribute anything back to those communities. It is a form of license stripping. That's just one issue.
Just because your inference running locally doesn't use much electricity doesn't mean you've sidestepped all of the other ethical issues surrounding LLMs.
Yeah I search for things in the fediverse all the time. I consider it one of my primary sources of valid information, since so much of the rest of the web is machine slop. 🤪
P. S. A lay person's objections to the term's usage in popular media is entirely warranted as unnecessary anthropomorphizing. In general, this tendency to ascribe the language of human mental states to the outputs of statistical computer models is deeply problematic.

Your attitude towards me and other people in this thread is incredibly distasteful. I know exactly what Docker is. I also know that MCP servers are irrelevant unless we're talking about LLM agents, a technology funded by Big Tech which is dangerous & destructive (hence the forum you are currently posting in).
Sorry, are you talking about MCP, or AP? I don't know why any usage of PieFed (what I'm using) or Lemmy would require MCP.
MCP as a way to make agents appear smart is a smoke screen. We already have APIs to enable different online applications to talk to each other, it's called REST, or Hypermedia if you want to get real fancy. We don't need yet another layer on top that obscures web properties and places them behind chatbots benefiting Big Tech megacorps and nobody else.
You think you are saying things which proves you are knowledgeable on this topic, but you are not.
The human brain is not a computer. And any comparisons between the two are wildly simplistic and likely to introduce more error than meaning into the discourse.
And sometimes the car accident is caused by terrible infrastructure because the system is rigged in favor of automobile lobbyists (here in the U.S. anyway).
So yes, I agree with you to a point. But the phrase "choosing to bathe in AI slop" to me doesn't mean someone who's popped onto ChatGPT from time to time to search for an answer for something or whatever. It means people who literally have formed their identity around an embrace of the slop machines. At this point, with all of the harms clearly on display for all to see, doing so indicates a severe lack of character and a sort of sociopathy.
