In the mean time on reddit: *installs ollama, pulls llama-2-7b-Q4_0, and it runs..*
"OMG I'm real-life Tony Stark! I better run to /localLLaMA to tell everybody I can solve world hunger and cure cancer by next week.."
...
You are all the same to me.

Best are the "I ran DeEpSeEk on a toaster! BEHOLD MY GENIUS!" guys that runs the smallest distilled model there is, not quite grasping that's not the real model

I think the "best" ones are those promters who come here just to throw shade (or shit) on other prompters, because..
"Nobody understands LLM's better than I do, and I need make sure the world knows of my superior expert insights, weather with wall of text, or some snarky meme, or screenshot from twitter, ideally using everything everywhere all at once." - You just woke up, bro, calm your tits..
StupidScaredSquirrel@reddit
They know it's the distill, they willfully omit that "detail" for karma or worse, youtube money.
Mayion@reddit
You forgot the ones who open Reddit just to tell those asking for help about LLMs that they are "doing it wrong" or "don't know how to prompt"
Awkward-Customer@reddit
bro... it's because you _don't_ know how to prompt :-p

Deleted every social media except reddit and YouTube because literally my entire fucking feed on anything but these two was about how we are all fucked and society is dead. Like yeah I have my concerns with it but holy fucking shit, every social media is so fucking negative and doomer that it was driving me insane. Yes it is scary but I think there’s a collective “psychosis” happening within tech grifter circles
TheTerrasque@reddit
I hate how they judge reality almost solely by sci-fi movies
GamerHaste@reddit
One of the common responses I see to people replying to doomer posts asking “why are you so confident that we are fucked” is something along the lines of “the 50+ years of movies and media we have on the topic”. Like what a no-op response. Okay I can go make up a story as well. So what? Nothing in the response is based in reality. Theres just this huge looming anxiety right now and these losers are doing nothing but trying to take advantage of it lol.
TheTerrasque@reddit
Yes, exactly what I mean. Idiots saying things like "didn't they see terminator??" And acts as if it's a real, valid argument.
GamerHaste@reddit
I guess a valid response to something like that could be: “okay, well what if nuclear war just breaks out tomorrow? Certainly possible”
Accurate_Reach4980@reddit
Totally. Though this is a good read on Jensen Huang “it’s just a business” presented TikTok style (in bed 🤷🏻♂️ ) https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRqBhhcY/

Always has been. Idk what it is but it seems like humans are really good at convincing themselves that this is it and the end of days are around the corner. Never really understood it.
Turns out most people have a vested interest in the world existing.
Cute_Obligation2944@reddit
It's easy to imagine the worst when you know nothing about how anything works.
Glad-Journalist-3467@reddit
You're showed posts that invoke a negative reaction, it's by design. Twitters algorithm is open source-ish? And you can see it rewards posts that cause the most outrage as a way of generating engagement. It isn't a conspiracy theory and is verifiable by their own GitHub. I deleted Twitter because it isn't a accurate reflection of reality/people's thoughts.
BagelRedditAccountII@reddit
That also happens on every platform. Algorithms promote posts with a lot of engagement. Now, what is the first thing you do when you see a bad post? You want to tell the whole village about how bad it is and then clown on the guy who made it. But, in doing so, you just gave them shares, views, and comments, which the algorithm rewards all the same.
I'm beginning to think that social media algorithms are some of the first prominent examples of harm caused by misaligned AI systems. These systems, which were supposed to help people find content that would interest them, became a game of min-maxing for variables, subtly changing both the behaviors of creators and consumers. As a result, that innocuous goal evolved into a system which facilitates self-reinforcing filter bubbles, the rise of the rage economy, the influencer meta, and much of the slop you see on a daily basis... All while the very companies that implemented them now have a perverse incentive to keep those systems because they suffer from a bad case of Goodhart's Law: the algorithm maximized for quantifiable variables (engagement, views, etc) that it made nearly every social site hell to use.

I like this image. Feels true more and more and more. LLMs are incredible, but so is converting basic elements into trees and beautiful flowers.
emprahsFury@reddit
or people here posting the transcript of their psychotic break with Claude after having spent 5 hours prompting it to say something shitty about Anthropic or LLMs in general
toothpastespiders@reddit
One of my legit favorites is the posts presenting a variation of "I told LLM about PUBLIC_PERSON_I_HATE doing THING_I_HATE that was reported on a few hours ago. And it didn't believe it could be possible because that'd be so horrible and dystopian!"
