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.

I've used a self-hosted Llama 3 to answer some questions about css and centering a div that I was having trouble with (I'm not a web dev by profession, nor am I aspiring to be one). You have to prod at it a few times to get it to tell you something useful which it ultimately did.

That's about as far as I can work with it: asking and re-asking it very common questions that have been discussed and answered 700 times over (but the answer to which is unknown to me, specifically) in the hopes of getting something actually useful. So to that end, of course it can give me an example implementation of common leetcode questions in C, but it cannot reliably do something that requires a bit more originality.

XD centering a div: even AI can't get it right the first time!

(Context: for many years, even professional web devs had trouble vertically centering content. Flexbox made it much less of a hassle)

Truly. But this was just something I downloaded off the net and wanted to repurpose for my own needs, so rearchitecting it to use Grid or Flex was way more effort than I wished to put in.
