There is going to be something that would not have existed without LLM because there wouldn't have been enough resources to create it before. Probably already is. Some of it will be amazing, although most of it probably not.

Example: Qobuz has no official Linux client, but there's https://qbz.lol/ which it seems to me is mostly vibecoded. It's not perfect, but it works pretty well and can do some fancy stuff like bit perfect DAC passthrough up to 192kHz/24bit.

I think the mistake people are making currently is that they publicize stuff way too early. I.e. they make a prototype and then put that out there. Possibly with a full product page and all.

People did this also before LLM, but the difference is that now the prototype is a fully functional product in the technical sense whereas before it was little more than a glorified Hello World. The human effort and calendar time used remains roughly the same.

There's gonna be amazing products made with LLM, but it'll take some time. Not as long as it did before, but still significant time.

all nu-media appears to be populated almost exclusively by nu-people.

Which would be fixed by more people joining there. Those people are a vanishing minority after all in the real world.

Nobody should be on reddit. https:/lemmy.world is a perfectly good alternative.

The politics are a bit skewed vs reality, but that's just a function of masses not being there yet. It's way better now than like 3 or 5 years ago.

Yas. Only thing I've been able to practice in any real way. I've switched disciplines often though, so haven't got very far in any of them. I got a belt grade from like 7 pretty different japanese, thai and korean styles, but my highest grade is judo 3. kyu from like 1996.

eg. there are no significant numbers of people "dreaming of the lost socialist utopia of USSR"

You seem to be in the happy group of people who have never visited the Lemmy main site. Although you may be right about "significant numbers" even if that site seems to be full of them. They might literally all be there.

Funny how well these fit into the terminally online far leftist framing too.

1. Mythic past and rebirth: dreaming of the lost socialist utopia of USSR etc. which was taken from us all by force and deception.

2. Victimhood and humiliation: working class is the victim of a rigged system, exploited by capital elite.

3. Hierarchy and dehumanization: world is split into oppressors (landlords, rich people, etc) and oppressed (workers).

4. Contempt for weakness: "liberals" let this happen due to their limp-wristedness.

5. Cult of action: revolts, strikes, protests, even violence against oppressors.

6. The leader as savior: Mamdani, Sanders, AOC? This admittedly doesn't quite work in the same way as in fascism.

7. Purification of institutions: Universities, media, and governments must be purged of "reactionaries" or "liberals" who resist the revolution.

8. Propaganda and assault on truth: dissent is violently suppressed. Various kinds of Big Lies (e.g. "the genocide") are spread as absolute truths and are repeated at every possible point.

9. Merger of state and corporate power: seizing both the corporations and state for the proletariat.

10. Violence and terror: glorifying murderers when they murder those "who deserve it".

Same answer as to the question "Where are all the better versions of Photoshop?" before LLMs were a thing.

Everybody (not actually everybody) has wanted one for 20+ years, and almost nobody made it.
