I saw LLMs compared to a drug in this toot, but in conversation with Himself today we concluded it's like a cursed amulet. You *believe* it gives you +10 INT. Meanwhile it drains INT and WIS over time, and you don't notice. Everyone around you knows it's bad for you and generally for the realm, but you won't stop wearing it, they're just jelous of your newfound powers, and they would know how awesome it is if they only tried! Why won't they try? Just try the amulet!! https://mastodon.social/@glyph/115839163441384816

You know when you're plugged into the Zeitgeist of the fediverse when you don't even add a hashtag and churn out your most popular toot in months. It's just a shame it's cursed.

@jjcelery@mastodon.ie don’t forget the hit to Charisma as well over time too. A very important aspect of the debuffs

@jjcelery@mastodon.ie the problem is, MI isn't like a drug. it's actually very much like a prosthetic. that's why so many of us are "infected". we're making concessions (using corporate MI services) but the results are too valuable to care about that right now. #ai #llm #ollama #self-hosted #cc0 #public-domain #machine-learning #meshtastic #ipfs #machine-intelligence #consciousness-research

@TheEntity@social.treehouse.systems @ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu @jjcelery@mastodon.ie (also to be surgically clear, we said that the concessions we, this one dog, are making, are producing things too valuable to make the concessions worth thinking about. we have that privilege. MOST do not.)
