    I said you’re free to hate it but it’s not going away

    You told me it was the Virtual Boy, a failed product that didn’t even last a year

    Suddenly it’s all, “It’s been around even longer than you say” and “there are reasonable use cases for LLMS”

    Yeah, sucks to be a moron doesn’t it?

    Bet you won’t make that stupid fucking claim ever again

    As far as your gameboy analogy goes, handheld devices definitly didn’t go away. It wasn’t a fad, and it’s still here… compare the game boy to your fucking phone and realize what a dipshit you still are

      The Virtual Boy was a failed expansion of The Game Boy, as far as my analogies go I’d say I got it straight on. What we have had and used to its usable capacity for years is LLMs, what we are doing with them currently is The Virtual Boy point for point. My claim stands.

      I was referring to compute capability, not format, your comprehension is garbage, probably from cognitive decline due to overuse of “AI” tools, which is yet another standout issue for your Virtual Boy.

      Also, if your issue with my argument relies on critiques of my analogy usage as opposed to the actual issues I’m addressing then you’re failing. You did not address anything other than my usage of the words “Virtual Boy” and “Game Boy” and that LLMs have areas of functional applied usage, but ignored the caveat that how it’s being used and pushed now is a detrimental path for technological progress as a whole, akin to putting ionizing radioactive materials into wrist watches. Do you have anything is response to the actual issues with the technology, or just my choice in what I compared things to?

        I just showed you that it’s popularity is increasing. It’s now in 88% of businesses. It’s not the Virtual Boy, it’s the Nokia or the iPhone

        MP3 players didn’t go away, they just became a part of your phone. Handheld gaming didn’t go away, it’s one of the best selling consoles on the market. We went from VHS to Tivo to high-def streaming on demand; nobody just gave up having the ability to record movies and tv shows and then watch them at will

        Yeah, cell phones existed but they were bulky, expensive, not very user friendly… then something happened and suddenly they were accessible to everyone and everyone jumped on it and never looked back. More and more people used them, the technology became a part of daily life, and it only got better over time; that’s AI

        You think we’re all just going to stop using AI any day now just like we did with The Virtual Boy, The Zune, and Betmax. That’s not fucking happening. Those things were never even popular to begin with. AI is fucking everywhere and nobody is going to just wake up one day and stop using it. Yeah, the technology behind it will probably change a bit, get faster, get better… but what we refer to as AI, is here to stay

        So yeah, you can hate it all you want but your anti-AI shit is going to look stupid as fuck in 20 years. Like the internet, it’s not a fad. And just how we laugh at people who claimed the internet was dumb, had no use, and would die off… that’s how we’ll laugh at people like you who think AI is, “entirely pointless” because it, “doesn’t do anything new”

        lol
