↳ In-reply-to » @bender I mean @movq is basisally spot on! These pieces of crap are just large expensive statistical models that occasionally spit out something sort of valid for some reason, but otherwise are the most useless idiotic and inefficient things I've ever seen or used.

@prologic@twtxt.net one can understand how LLMs work, and even train one (with the needed hardware), if interested (that, of course, will not happen if uninterested to begin with).

I think LLMs, and whatever they morph into, will be useful. They are also not going away. As for the energy consumption, well, some say it is a good thing, as it will speed up the transition to green energy usage. :-)
