The problem is not the tech. LLMs (AI does not exist, not yet anyway) have their uses and are impressive technology

The problem is the tech bros and all the mouth breathers who follow the tech bros without question while they insert lies, “AI”, everywhere it’s not supposed to go, and the places where it would actually be useful so far have been mildly neglected

I see, for example, use in having AI check MRI results for cancer. A doctor already checked it found nothing, and an AI does a second check and might find something a doctor overlooked. A real doctor then needs to check the results again to confirm the flagging. Please note, I’m not a doctor, I might be saying nonsense right now, but the point I’m making is that AI may be useful as a second pair of eyes.

AI can be, and has been used to find new novel mathematics. Mind you, AI is not creative, it just tries really weird and unexpected pathways to get to s solution which sometimes is useful

But the way AI is used now, making porn of your little niece, chatbots, and hey, how about an AI pilot, eh? And ai of course can take over the work from thousands of developers and DevOps employees, so let’s fire them all and then figure out that AI can’t do any of this shit, not nearly at the level required, and it fucks up about 30%ish of the time…

People are losing their jobs over this

I am losing my job over this

I can’t find a new job either becat all the recruitment and job finding is now all AI slop and where 5 year ago ingot a job with 20-30 applications, I now have sent out 200 applications and gotten a single intro interview and that’s it

AI promised to take away the mundane boring and dangerous jobs so we could focus on art and fun.

AI took the art and fun and guess who’s left to do the mundane and dangerous?

Yeah.

Don’t even get me started about the shit we’ll face once we make real actual AI. For the ethics, just watch “ST TNG: the measure of a man” to get yours started. It will be a shit show

So that “drill baby drill” didn’t just backfire, it backfired spectacularly yo the point where I’m thinking that we still might have a chance to stop climate change. Thanks Cheetos!

It was then that microsoft found out that constant monitoring and stealing every little bit of information while flooding the users with ads and unwanted and unneeded AI is bad for batterylife. Who knew, except everybody?

Well but here is the thing, we kind of already know a lot that China is bad. Yeah, USA is bad,blah, everybody knows that, but China, yeah, is bad too. Fuck China, Russia, and the USA.

Having said that, we will have to trade with them but ffs, you need to walk on your toes and check every step taken.

Still evil, still committing genocide as well.

I can never see any media hosted from files catbox.moe, am I the only one?

I fucking guarantee that all used services will not be what you wanted, but from companies that paid Google the most, fuck your needs.

In principle, what you described isn’t bad, sounds nice, but hells no unless I host it all myself and it’s all open source so I can trust it

You Americans really need to start learning how taxes work, well, are supposed to work. In Europe taxes are higher and we’re happy for it because we understand how tondo that part and what younger back for it, right.

I always love to see companies do this with a semi open source product with investors

The code gets closed, a small clump of users split off, make their own version with beet and hookers, and soon the vast majority of the users following because the real open source one is so awesome

That was jellyfin’s story, but this is a variation on that and I’ve seen this story many times now

Bye bye gitlab,rest in pieces

Oh look, one giant piece of shit is suing a somehow even bigger piece of shit, and we are forced to care about the outcome

How about this outcome you mother fuckers?

All research papers are published online and accessible for free, EXCEPT for scrapers like AI

That would be a great outcome, and that won’t ever happen because of course not, we can’t have nice things happen, now can we.

And this is why you want to promote bicycles. Most car trips are under 3 miles which is easily doable on a bicycle, even easier on an electric bicycle.

Maintenance costs? Like double digit costs per year per bike, if that. I bought a new bike and had zero maintenance costs for 2 years now

I wish 15yo semi incel me who believed he’d be alone for his entire life, could see me today.

He wouldn’t be able to stop high fiving me. I have nothing, really, except a beautiful wonderful wife and while the entire world seems to burn around us, we are so fucking happy together.

However bad its going to be, i already see the billionaires happily preparing, hoping for a pandemic that will wipe out half of humanity so that they can rule the world as kings after that or some stupid shit.

Mmmm, the first part you mentioned was talked about in the article

All devices you wear, have inside you, all of it will be spying for corporate execs and you’ll be paying for the privilege

Is this again more orphan crushing.machinery?

Thanks!

And it’s awesome that the priorities finally seem to be on open source software and standards instead of one single company that will eventually cheat

Huh…huhhh.huh

FIRE! FIRE!

Tip #2

Just ignore all self help shit and enjoy life being yourself

If google requires me to permit other companies to leech all my personal data to be able to use anything on the Internet at all, I say we label Google, Microsoft, Apple as criminal organizations

I’m sorry, bit there have to be limits.

I. DO. NOT. WANT. TO. USE. ANYTHING. GOOGLE.

OR APPLE. OR MICROSOFT.

FUCK ALL THESE OLIGARCH COMPANIES INTO THE GROUND

I do not want my private data leeches and sold every day, I don’t even get paid for it
