zbyte64@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Deep in Mordor where the shadows lie: Dystopian tales of that time when I sold out to GoogleEnglish8·1 month agoFun read. I remember when my coworker got hired by Twitter I was a bit jealous. Now in retrospect, I was the lucky one working at a web branding agency.
I’ll go further than the author and not just say it isn’t a perfect analogy to AI, it is a terrible analogy.
zbyte64@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Game studios love AI! The gamers … hate itEnglish2·1 month agoThat’s fair. Personally, I think the game would be more fun without the LLM (what makes it good is the writing not the tech) but this was to scratch an itch that started when a highschool friend messaged me to insist LLMs are just one breakthrough from taking our jobs.

Talking about Alpha Evolve https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/alphaevolve-a-gemini-powered-coding-agent-for-designing-advanced-algorithms/ ?
First, Microsoft isn’t using this yet but even if they were it doesn’t work in this context. What Google did was they wrote a fitness function to tune the Generative process. Why not have some rubric that scores the code as our fitness function? Because the function needs to be continuous for this to work well, no sudden cliffs. But also they didn’t address how this would work in a multi-objective space, this technique doesn’t let the LLM make reasonable trade offs between complexity and speed.
The point is to get open source maintainers to further train their program because they already scraped all our code. I wonder if this will become a larger trend among corporate owned open source projects.
It’s important to understand that any argument against improving one’s material conditions is going to be rightfully ignored. Better to point out that without removing the yoke of power, any concessions can be easily removed.
Yet roads and lines of communication make a socialist transition more likely. Almost like the material conditions matter, regardless of the political context.
