>>154086966 They're a simple concept, so someone would think them up eventually. Some jackass comes up with the idea, throws a tiny fraction of their world's infinite processing power at it, and makes billions by telling investors "nah, LLMs technically don't have rights, so you can have slaves! Being retarded is a FEATURE."
>>154086966 AI canonically use most of their processing power maintaining their sentience, they'd probably develop LLMs themselves to boost their own capacities.
>>154089921 Yes and? I understand that, in QC's world, LLMs aren’t as advanced as the "real AIs", but that doesn’t mean they aren’t useful. Just because AI exists in our world doesn’t mean that simple programs will all disappear or stop being developed.
>>154090389 exactly the case as we are even destroying our planet in real time to make them exist and they are not even useful for the damage they cause
>>154091944 Depends on the amount of alcohol consumed while Claire is present. Maybe she will turn out to be a Cucqueen but as a test toward Marten's loyalty to bring someone else into the bedroom.
>>154091967 Alright, I'll bite. What are they useful for? How is what they're being used for not achievable by redirecting the resources that made them possible (man-hours, energy, materials, etc.) elsewhere? Lighting paintings on fire in a pit can also be incredibly useful at keeping people warm up until you figure out a stove can do the same thing but more effectively.
I hadn't read it for like, 15 years +, but knowing it is so utterly shit and the art has actually gotten worse, yet it brings in 20k a month, has given me the confidence to just launch into a full webcomic when i can barely draw!
>>154096013 Also good for scamming the elderly by mimicing the voice of loved ones over the phone, also good for botting social media to spread disinfo and influence elections, also good for mass surveillance and reporting wrong think and dissention from the new world order.
But hey at least we can predict if it will rain or whether we have cancer that we cant afford to treat!
>>154097060 She could stand to be a little sexier. I've noticed a recurring trend where a lot of crushes are established and forgotten. Roko>Clinton, Winslow>May, Liz>Marten, Zlata>Marten. Makes me think Jeph believes the mere existence of a crush is enough to be interesting.
>>154096000 Organizing large amounts of data, basically. Even shit like>>154096013 is not great, because you get weird baises based on what data the llm is fed, and hallucinations. But you can train an llm to go through and collate data pretty well.
The issue isn't that llms are inherently bad, but people started calling them "artificial intelligence" and claiming they could do shit that they cannot do. They're a tool, and a useful one, but they can't create and they aren't a replacement for actual skilled human workers. They can augment human intelligence but not replace it.
>>154099873 It should at least make sense internally. LLMs weren't previously mentioned (outside of the turkeys breaking the 4th wall), so they didn't have to exist in this world. But now that they do, that destroys a previous plot point.
>>154101584 isn't this like the fifth time in a row Liz get drunk in a party with Marten? has any other girl been in that situation before how long Jeph can keep baiting us with the same trick? has he finally covered all the possibilities his patreon censors allow him? is he now running in a loop?
>>154102015 Normally two would pair up and either do it in front of the others or take it to a room. And the others would wait a bit then go into the room and watch anyway.
>>154100040 Not really, Claire is tasked with creating and managing a department, database, and archival system designed to be used by multiple other departments (and apparently having HR thrown in her lap too). As pointed out, properly implemented analytical LLMs are a tool to improve performance but a poor substitute for actual human workers. You're a basically making the same argument the AIbros make about how vibe coding can replace actual coders.
>>154101584 >Maybe if you stick it up far enough you'll jostle your brain loose Well, there was this one chink who fixed his back pain with a large enough buttplug
>>154085402 I like how he made a comic about AI but now feels the need to virtue signal against it The people who hate it aren't going to spare him, they're going to want him dead for clanker sympathy
>>154108645 Wasn't there an incident like 3000 pages ago where May got insulted for being a robot once and that was supposed to represent a broader societal discrimination despite never happening again?
>>154108645 >>154108681 >>154108777 I doubt it because QC AI is just Futurama robots. Though given our joking about AIs in QC doing a soft overthrow of humanity, it'd make perfect sense the robots would opposed to LLMs despite being objectively more advanced - LLMs would remove a major advantage the robots have over humanity in data processing.
>>154107490 >low stakes drama over someone being a little rude that's the 9/11 for most normie's lives. you have no idea how boring most people really are
>>154101584 So if you're Emily in this situation, it's basically >you >your coworker >your boss, who used to be your coworker >your boss's assistant >your boss's boyfriend who used to be your boyfriend >a slime monster this is the weirdest work party ever
>>154109133 she and marten never dated, they were just close friends and she kissed him on the cheek for aiding her after she got bitten by a snake (way, WAY back in the massachusetts chapters).
