i like this guy's style a lot but i hate his takes on LLMs which constantly have this magic scientist betch working around LLMs instead of just fucking ignoring them. let her be happy for once and focus on doing good science https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/117569868063962924
@aeva @catmisgivings no i realized he's anti-AI for real i threw away the tinfoil hat a few weeks back
@aeva @catmisgivings thanks for your feedback. you're basically the one other person i've found who has ever said "we should be ignoring LLMs as much as possible" and when you introduce nuance to that i listen to you
@hipsterelectron @catmisgivings it's hard. in David's case the LLMs are a direct tangible assault on his livelihood because his art ended up getting ranked as high value in the training sets and now people associate his style with slop. it's a hard position to be in because he spent literal decades developing it. developing a new style would also take a long time and without a real solution to the underlying problem the same thing would happen again
@aeva @catmisgivings oh i didn't realize that at all
@aeva @catmisgivings i like a lot how @prahou describes his style as explicitly anti-corporate and it is exactly how i have looked to design my software after having my shit stolen without credit and sold to openai and specifically done wrong to enable google backdoors of python packaging
@hipsterelectron @catmisgivings i love @prahou 's art. don't tell him but he's partly to blame for me getting the urge to paint regularly again
@aeva @hipsterelectron @catmisgivings @prahou (I am also a fan. please don't tell him that I find his stuff clever and that I like the aesthetic. my understanding is that this is poison to artists.)
@aud @aeva @hipsterelectron @catmisgivings I love that guy! I just wish he didn't use so many cuss words!
