Presumably you live somewhere, and home invasions are on the rise, and it’s not just about “defending” your property, it’s about losing your sense of safety in your home because defending yourself will land you in court (as they say, “charge them all and let the courts figure it out”) where you have to defend yourself once again (unless it gets thrown out before trial).
It’s very fucked up.
Sounds like your rock bottom wasn’t that rock bottom, then.
True, but our home defense laws are super fucked so it balances out.
It’s an AI generated image lol
I admit, as an outsider looking in, I am a bit surprised how many people are okay with these jokes.
It’s just a joke until it isn’t, and then it isn’t so funny. However, I do get that it can literally just be a joke and nothing more, but I do have a hard time compartmentalizing it like that.
With that said, just like anyone else here, I’m not really a fan of mass surveillance either so I obviously feel conflicted.
I don’t agree.
The fact that it’s a collaborative online encyclopedia is great, and especially because it has so many contributors.
A collaborative online encyclopedia with a smaller number of contributors makes it less useful, just like a one-time copy of a collaborative online encyclopedia with a larger number of contributors makes it less useful. However, that does not make it entirely useless.
I have an older archived copy of Wikipedia. I should probably update it some time.
It’s because bad managers are so common. There’s a saying that goes “people don’t quit jobs, they quit managers”, that’s how common it is.
Seriously, talk about major whiplash with how they do things lmao
Games industry is somehow infinitely more corrupt.
If only they could have done this with games.
I know right? Imagine this minimum wage worker not dropping everything to come save the day for his manager who had poor planning and a lack of insight.
Honestly, I kinda agree, but AI is such a powerful technology that it’s a multiplicative effect. I do agree it was inevitably going to happen.
At least we can still tell that the other person we’re talking to right now is a living, breathing human - probably because of our typing styles and because of our shared hatred for AI. lol
I don’t think a “good AI” can stop a “bad AI”, it’s not really feasible because these companies are too powerful they are basically unstoppable at this point. You would need something like a full societal uprising against them, which yes even the average person is starting to get sick of AI, but I’m not too hopeful about it.
I was hoping Messi would win to end his career like that, but I’m also not upset that Spain won either. That goal was crazy awesome.
I mean, obviously I’m torn on it, like most things these days. Obviously it’s an incredible technology or we wouldn’t be having this conversation. It’s very good at what it does well, and I do use it daily. I think anyone who says it’s good at nothing doesn’t know what they’re talking about, and anyone who says it’s good at everything doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The truth is somewhere in the middle. With that said, the amount of societal destruction caused by it, I do wish it hadn’t been invented.
I don’t have any answers for regulating it or anything like that, I’m only one person, but I am just disappointed. I do agree stopping data centers would be great. Having some sort of limit on how much companies can make use of AI would probably be helpful. Having some sort of limit on how much hardware AI companies are allowed to buy vs how much is reserved for retail customers would probably be helpful.
I agree that the vast majority of money today is “imaginary”, people are using AI as a money printer without it justifying all of that money through actual value.
I don’t think my takes on AI are all that controversial, but maybe I am mistaken.
It’s not weather, it’s out-of-control wildfires caused by massive budget cuts to firefighting.
AI has the ability to revolutionise the industry in a way that it needs in order to survive - greatly reduce costs and greatly reduce production times.
Do you know what those words mean?
AI is being used as a force multiplier, and it’s being used as a force multiplier for evil. It’s being used to replace jobs, to put hundreds, thousands, and eventually millions of people out of work. At scale, it takes up more power than entire cities do, and the data centers and power station upgrades that it requires at that scale ends up with companies literally demolishing entire residential areas, forcing people out of their homes.
AI is not worth the trade-offs and the massive sacrifices required for it. It is destroying society.
The issue is that AI is a force multiplier, and it’s being used as a force multiplier for evil. That’s a really big problem. It’s being used to destroy society, so of course people have problems with it.
The issue is, though, is that AI is a force multiplier, and it’s being used as a force multiplier for evil.
He really is a weird creature.
AI has been helpful for my job, sure, but the cost in terms of societal damage is so great it makes me wish AI were never created.
