It’s usually possible to bind specific hotkeys to controller buttons within the emulator’s settings (I make heavy use of R3 for fast-forward). Take a look at the settings and give it a try.

Except LLMs are absolutely terrible at working with a new, poorly documented library. Commonly-used, well-defined libraries? Sure! Working in an obscure language or an obscure framework? Good luck.

LLMs can surface information. It’s perhaps the one place they’re actually useful. They cannot reason in the same way a human programmer can, and all the big tech companies are trying to sell them on that basis.

It’s not interpretation, it’s extrapolation.

I mean, originally they thought they had come upon a magic bullet. Turns out it wasn’t the case, and now they’re going to suffer for it.

At least in those situations, the person writing the tests knows they’re not testing anything…

If not to editorialize, what else is the text box for? :)

From what I’ve seen and heard, there are a few factors to this.

One is that the tech industry right now is built on venture capital. In order to survive, they need to act like they’re at the forefront of the Next Big Thing in order to keep bringing investment money in.

Another is that LLMs are uniquely suited to extending the honeymoon period.

The initial impression you get from an LLM chatbot is significant. This is a chatbot that actually talks like a person. A VC mogul sitting down to have a conversation with ChatGPT, when it was new, was a mind-blowing experience. This is a computer program that, at first blush, appears to be able to do most things humans can do, as long as those things primarily consist of reading things and typing things out - which a VC, and mid/upper management, does a lot of. This gives the impression that AI is capable of automating a lot of things that previously needed a live, thinking person - which means a lot of savings for companies who can shed expensive knowledge workers.

The problem is that the limits of LLMs are STILL poorly understood by most people. Despite constructing huge data centers and gobbling up vast amounts of electricity, LLMs still are bad at actually being reliable. This makes LLMs worse at practically any knowledge work than the lowest, greenest intern - because at least the intern can be taught to say they don’t know something instead of feeding you BS.

It was also assumed that bigger, hungrier LLMs would provide better results. Although they do, the gains are getting harder and harder to reach. There needs to be an efficiency breakthrough (and a training breakthrough) before the wonderful world of AI can actually come to pass because as it stands, prompts are still getting more expensive to run for higher-quality results. It took a while to make that discovery, so the hype train was able to continue to build steam for the last couple years.

Now, tech companies are doing their level best to hide these shortcomings from their customers (and possibly even themselves). The longer they keep the wool over everyone’s eyes, the more money continues to roll in. So, the bubble keeps building.

You’re not wrong, but that’s the rationale I’ve seen from others.

My guess is attempting to poison LLM training.

If you’re running it in a prebuilt container, as long as it works it shouldn’t matter and you don’t need to care.

Of course, when your database gets corrupted after Nextcloud updates because you had an app running that isn’t supported in the new version, it will suddenly matter a lot.

but but but how are the corporations supposed to make money off of our data if they can’t harvest it? Think of the poor corporations!!

The problem is that before LLMs, they had to actually put forward some effort to produce content on the internet, which at least kept the amount of thoughtless content down somewhat. Now the barrier to entry is practically zero, all while thieving people’s hard work without compensation and burning ridiculous amounts of resources to do so.

It is super interesting tech though.

It has nothing to do with that, and much more to do with people on 4chan being willing to call each other out. Without toxic behavior you can’t have examples on how to deal with toxic behavior.
