Kindness is Punk

Crowdstrike + Defender alone eats a lot. Security software is so heavy in the corporate world and standard Windows bloat on top of that is not helping

Don’t worry, you also get issue reports were the user didn’t read the start guide or document any of the steps to reproduce the issue.

Was trying to explain to them that large language model progress will start to slow down because probabilistic networks aren’t good with anything that needs reproducible results, The data requirements are starting to balloon and restricting them reduces their creativity.

They brought up things like folding at home and other neural network models. So I explained to them that was a Markov state model not a generative AI.

Then they brought up Nvidia DLSS. And I do explain that that was also a CNN and Transformer model, not a generative one.

So I guess this is a long way of me saying that I don’t know if a lot of people understand the distinction between generative AI and a neural network with the many flavors that comes in and I think that conflation leads to a lot of the artificial hype AI gets.

I’m split on this because on one hand all these platforms are have a well-known link to poor mental health in teenagers however I think this might be another instance where we are legislating something that should be handled by the parents.
