The Seven Voyages Of Steve

I do think LLMs capture the zeitgeist in one way: that we’re all supposed to just accept that things are a bit shite all the time, in tech and otherwise. That it’s just how things are & we shouldn’t expect better. Shut up, accept the slop, things getting worse, the enshittification. It’s just the way things are.

No, piss off. Things can be better, we’ve done it before. Just because some people can’t or won’t remember, doesn’t mean we all have to accept their low standards.

@nucholab @sinbad I had to Google this. Apparently it's from "Andor"? Never seen it. Not a Star Wars fan. The point is very sound, though.

@sinbad@mastodon.gamedev.place Things were better, before LLMs and other generative AI.

@sinbad Can we please shorten this, print it and have in on billboards all over the world?

@sinbad @baldur my pet theory is that if LLMs had emerged pre 2016 they wouldn’t have gained traction. They’ve only done so since because societal norms regarding truthfulness have degraded.
