Nobody mentioned socialism or the USSR. You did. The flag on the bottom is not even a USSR flag, and the USSR didn’t have an exclusive trademark on the hammer and the sickle. This is a nazi flag with the swastika replaced with the hammer and the sickle, acting as a symbol of the nazbol’s dupery.
The meme is saying that the Lemmy nazbols, using communist imagery, are allies of the US Christofascists of the Republican Party when they glorify Putin’s crimes. The meme could have been better without mentioning the US right, tbh, but the point that nazbols are allies of a fascist regime that is perpetrating crimes no leftist worthy of the name should endorse is valid.
But you’re being dense on purpose, aren’t you? You knew all that. Or did you not read the post’s text?
That’s literally the point. In the phrase, “a wolf in a sheep’s clothing”, we mean that the wolf is using the sheep’s clothing, not that the sheep is a wolf. It’s the same thing nazbols are doing with communism. They aren’t actually communist. They just use communist imagery to spew their nazi bullshit. The nazbol flag is a very fitting one.
I’d argue nazbols are an even bigger threat to communism than a mere flag, due to the confusion they create in people’s minds. I know where to direct my outrage, but you do you.
I don’t care about the edge of that tech. I’m not interested in investing any time making it work. This is your problem. I need a product I can use as a consumer. Which doesn’t exist, and may never exist because the core of the tech alone is unsound.
You guys make grandiloquent claims that this will automate software engineering and be everywhere more generally. Show us proof. What we’ve seen so far is ChatGPT (lol), Air Canada’s failures to create working AI chatbots (lol), a creepy plushie and now this shitty device. Skepticism is rationalism in this case.
Maybe this will change one day? IDK. All I’ve been saying is that it’s not ready yet from what I’ve seen (prove me wrong with concrete examples in the software engineering domain) and given that it tends to invent stuff that just doesn’t exist, it’s unreliable. If it succeeds, LLMs will be part of a whole delivering value.
You guys sound like Jehovah’s witnesses. get a hold of yourselves if you want to be taken seriously. All I see here is hyperbole from tech bros without any proof.
Thing is, if you want to sell the tech, it has to work, and what most people have seen by now is not really convincing (hence the copious amount of downvotes you’ve received).
You guys sound like fucking cryptobros, which will totally replace fiat currency next year. Trust me bro.
If everybody in society “votes” that kind of stuff “down”, the hype will eventually die down and, once the dust has settled, we’ll see what this is really useful for. Right now, it can’t even do fucking chatbots right (see the Air Canada debacle with their AI chatbot).
Not every invention is as significant as the Internet. There’s thing like crypto which are the butt of every joke in the tech community, and people peddling that shit are mocked by everyone.
I honestly don’t buy that we’re on the edge of a new revolution, or that LLMs are close to true AGI. Techbros have been pushing a lot of shit that is not in alignment with regular folks’ needs for the past 10 years, and have maintained tech alive artificially without interest from the general population because of venture capital.
However, in the case of LLMs, the tech is interesting and is already delivering modest value. I’ll keep an eye on it because I see a modest future for it, but it just might not be as culturally significant as you think it may be.
With all that said, one thing I will definitely not do is spend any time setting up things locally, or running a LLM on my machine or pay any money. I don’t think this gives a competitive edge to any software engineer yet, and I’m not interested in becoming an early adopter of the tech given the mediocre results I’ve seen so far.
I never said I was an expert on Copilot, I’ve consistently said LLMs are not where they should be in terms of reliability, which is also true of Copilot.
Edit: oh and sorry for not being willing to waste my time trying out every new piece of tech on the block when all they’re doing is rehashing unsound ideas 🤷♂️
Show me proof or shut up. It’s that simple. This is not a subjective matter like wine tasting. There needs to be objective and tangible proof it works.
That doesn’t prove your conspiracy theory that enoughcommiespam people are trying to invade Lemmy. A post happens to have appeared on both communities, tough shit. Happens all the time everywhere on Reddit/Lemmy.
The comment/like count is not even close.
Tankies betray leftist causes in online spaces. I care about the real world, Lemmy and other platforms, but, on Lemmy, I can only do something about tankies to prevent them from scaring away people that might genuinely be interested in leftism. Let those people know that leftism is not crazy town. You only get to see the Lemmy part.
Defending regimes that commit war crimes and genocide is a hard red line anyone with a hint of morality will refuse to cross, let alone a leftist. I don’t accept these things coming from the West, and I certainly won’t accept it from anybody else.
You can be a ML all you like. Just don’t be one of the buffoons that support litteral genocide.
I’m fighting red-browns, not reds. And boy is there plenty of them on Lemmy, although, thankfully, their sphere of influence shrinks daily with the bans and defederations.
Edit: Being a nazi is not just a word, no. It doesn’t live in the “OK things to be” space.
Everybody in tech relies on some level of abstraction. Crazy-smart hardware engineers are no exception, they’re not dealing with fundamental electricity stuff. They wouldn’t be able to deliver the advanced chip designs we take for granted today if they were.
