    Ah yes the famous carless days of 1969 where we built paved streets for children to play in that then somehow got taken over by that damn newfangled invention. And right after we destroyed all those black neighborhoods for highways! The one for the kids to play up high on!

    Edit: point being, like cars, AI can fuck itself. We never should’ve built cities and fucked the country for cars and we shouldn’t fuck up the country more for AI.

    Double edit: didn’t even notice the community this was posted in lol probably didn’t need to add that edit in then but whatever.

      we shouldn’t fuck up the country more for AI.

      or environment, or water supply, or power supply, or children’s privacy, or people’s brains, or economy…

      I still have yet to see anything from these fucks that justifies the cost in computer hardware either.

        “If you’re not first, you’re last” -Ricky Bobby

        And that’s the entire philosophy of AI investment. This is surely the next industrial revolution, so we need to be first so we win. Cause that’s how you win capitalism.

        Never mind that the entire industry is facing the dead-end where all of the data of humanity has already been hoovered up and we’re still not at that damn singularity, and we kind of have no plan on where to go from here. All of that is pointless details. Someone’s going to figure it out, and if we spend the most money it’ll surely be us.

    Translation: The wealthy aren’t trying to improve the world. They are aware they’re actively making the world a worse place for you.

      Also translation: “I pivoted my entire business model towards AI, when nobody wants to use it now, I’m totally screwed.”

        Whelp, when the stonk tanks to “affordable” for their failures, and they dump the AI clowns, I’ll grab a bunch of it like it’s the $5 PS2 games bin in 2010, and maybe I’ll get a nice windfall when they start making GPUs for the people again. :D

        …A man can dream.

        It will be in a gated compound, with it’s own security. Then each house/mansion will be gated, with it’s own cameras and security. “Fun” !

    “The world is getting worse. Accept the loss.” is a hot take for someone who is actively pushing the cause of this worsening and profitting off it.

    Hey, we made a machine that does the thinking, you can stop thinking now, let the machine do all the thinking for you. Btw, you should absolutely mix bleach with pipe cleaner, you certainty won’t regret mixing bleach with pipe cleaner.

    PS. That is a joke, never mix bleach with pipe cleaner.
