Wait, when did they pair with persona?

They been doing it since the 90s but it wasn’t popular until 2019. https://read.filmflavor.com/p/souvenir-popcorn-buckets-collectible-2024

You are insane. Elephants. There. Now the entire thread is about elephants. Get the fuck out of here.

They’re not talking about surveillance pricing. They’re talking about selling one roll of toilet paper out of a package but for the same cost as the whole 12 pack. Surveillance pricing is using your individual behavior to change the price of the product for just you.

Uhhh are you actually mad? I’m literally higher up in the comment chain than you. You responded to me. Not the other way around.

safe bet that Earthwormjim91 was alluding to it when he initially brought up Torvalds

The image literally is talking about the Linux kernel. Why you would jump to a specific talking point when the post is about the full kernel?

So no, I think you’re probably the only one thinking this thread was about a specific commit to the kernel.

While image generation is bad, it’s actually much less energy intensive and massive data centers are not being built for it. The problem currently is solely LLMs.

Huh… no it isn’t. This is literally the first time that’s being mentioned in this comment chain. All the way to the top it is only discussing the em-dashes.

I didn’t realize you were talking about performance in the kernel, which I think will be incredibly hard to measure. That that’s usually the main focus of enterprise investment into Linux, so I very much doubt that an LLM is coming in and making improvements there, but maybe it’s happening. As far as I can tell all the latest things are security scans, which usually will result in worse performance since the goal isn’t speed but safety.

It would have to use trillions of fewer cpu cycles to do that. Currently scientists estimate it at 8 cups of water consumed for every 100 word prompt. What developer do you know that consumes 8 cups of water a day much less every thirty seconds. A developer can sit there and think with their own mind, computer doing nothing, while an LLM consumes thousands of gallons of water and kilowatts of electricity to do the same thing.

How did they clean the pumpkin out???

There’s also a huge difference between someone like Linus Torvalds, who understands code better than most people on earth, using AI supervised to increase productivity, and Timmy off the street having chatGPT build something he has no clue how it works or what code even does.

disagree. there’s no difference between the car mechanic or the politician pouring oil into the river. They’re both horrendous. sure, one of them might have a reason for doing so, but that reason isn’t a good reason.

You’re totally right, I was trying to word it in a way that was in line with the survey results since the meme wasn’t so clear. But also I totally should have explained more since I complain about others not explaining enough all the time.

What I meant by AI was LLMs specifically.

No that’s my opinion lol. I’m in the 1%. I wasn’t saying you used AI.

You should not be using AI at all. https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2026/ai

the books the LLM were trained on that used the most em dashes used like 1 every 200-500 characters. LLMs use em dashes at a rate of like 1 every 40-50 characters. It’s not even CLOSE to human behavior.
