Alternatively, are there any publications engaging with the future potential of AI in a communist society, or in the lead up to a communist society? A lot of forum discussion used to pertain to the cybersyn project in Chile. But I feel like the LLM/ML/AI discussion is currently on a reactionary back foot.
If you’ve used it, I’m curious as to what potentials do you see from it? Where is it being used effectively where are you encountering it where you go, damn that sucks.
Where it sucks: Every single chatbot and phone tree when calling a support line ends without speaking to a flesh-and-blood agent. It makes me want to throw my phone into the woods.
Where it rules: Fulfilling bullshit work requests like OKRs with AI-generated drivel. Translation work. It tutored me through a Grad-level Statistics class that was all Asynchronous.
The hype is massively overblown (of course) but I’ve recently found ChatGPT incredibly helpful with learning coding and data analysis in Python. It’s been surprisingly good at breaking down scripts of code I don’t understand, as well as giving me the skeleton of a model for me to use. And if you go back and forth with it, you can usually work out any kinks in the code it doesn’t immediately recognize.
I think if people don’t get any wack ideas in their heads about what they can do, GPTs can be pretty reasonably useful tools in some cases.
Yeah I’ve been using GPT-4o and it’s much better than GPT-3.5.
Recently been using it to help me with my sudoku variant solver, which I’m doing using google’s cp-sat solver. It has helped me with project configuration and structure issues, and recently started using it to automatically generate unit tests, and it has been working surprisingly well. Also have used it to generate a bunch of helper functions
