What about the current state of the world makes you confident politicians would do a damn thing?

With all due respect, the US quite literally has a pedophile running it.

Nothing has been done about this at all, it’s been years now.

Is it just a tool really?

Using a hammer doesn’t atrophy the muscle in your arms as you use it.

However using AI has already been shown to atrophy the brain.

“if they show signs of consciousness we’ll shut it down” is so absolutely batshit especially when you consider people like me learned while in school that fish don’t feel any pain.

We were extremely confidently incorrect about that one…

This is fucking abhorrent.

Pull up a seat at the table.

The timing just feels a bit odd.

I could easily see how someone could view this as a veiled attempt to remind people “how well they’re treated!”.

I wouldn’t discount that.

Does that mean it can’t be used as propaganda in modern times?

Changing language is a subtle way to manufacture consent that has been used as long as humans have been scamming. Just because you’re too stupid to figure that out, isn’t my problem.

You’re a fucking moron.

It’s been 5 years since mass public forced adoption and things have just gotten progressively worse.

The tool was not put out responsibly, and most importantly, the CEOs and companies leading the charge currently cannot be trusted.

AI has been a massive bust, has helped accelerate climate change, destroyed lives, raises power bills, and for what?

I’m not saying don’t R&D it and don’t use it, but forcing it down people’s throats and technofascist CEOs being in charge of this dumpster fire is killing us.

The English language shifted to make “drugs and alcohol” a saying so as to disassociate alcohol with drugs.

This shift is incorrect and does damage, it’s called a false dichotomy.

Just because language shifts does not make it right, the dude you’re replying to is absolutely right and just letting AI companies define our world is cowardice.

Over the past 5 years specifically, nearly every single piece of software I use from OS, to apps, to even legacy programs I trusted for decades have started to produce more bugs, are less stable, and less reliable.

At the same time, AI has been forced on people and AI using devs are proliferating while we still lack an understanding of AIs cognitive affects on us.

What exactly am I supposed to think? That all the programmers pushing AI on me like Crypto Bros while their programs work worse are smart, well intentioned people?

You can say whatever you want, I use the software, shits gotten absolutely terrible lately, and it’s not just the purposefully enshitified software either.

But we all know AI companies are unethically scraping and selling shit back to us right? I just really need people to acknowledge that.

You don’t need to destroy books to scan them.

You’re very gullible.

Why do y’all argue about things you don’t understand?

If a game is on disk, and a lot still are, then no, it cannot be taken away from you without literally entering your home with a warrant at least where I live.

Owning the physical disk in America at least also grants you the right to download and emulate later.

There’s also the fact that having a physical routine adds emotional attachment.

Also, and this really needs to be asked, WHY ARE SO MANY OF YOU FIGHTING FOR LESS OPTIONS? Seriously what the fuck?

They’re destroying things that don’t have to be destroyed and compiling the information into privately owned megastructures they’ll then charge us to access while we own nothing and they can then alter the books.

Nah I’m good. Everything these AI companies stand for is fucking evil and malicious.

For every AI that researches a legit medical issue, they start literally burning fucking books, replacing jobs, screwing basically everyone, and making the world overall much worse.

If you can’t see why these companies destroying any amount of books is bad, idk how to help you. Maybe look up a list of who has ever mass destroyed books. There’s not a lot of good people there.

Sorry we didn’t understand the instructions, we hired an AI now to read resumes now.

In other news hiring has been tough lately :/

We let it die and made commercial systems to sell to companies instead claiming to streamline HR.

We constantly leave good systems behind because some chucklefuck wants to monetize something

We did, it’s called a resume

We have quite literally had screen readers since the 1980s.

I in no way insinuated that I do not care about disabled people, my own father lost his legs and I have dealt with the bullshit for decades, including the fact that disabled people, like any other marginalized group, are used to further shitty agendas and make bad faith arguments.

Thank god for screen readers, so let’s let LLM companies do whatever they want because we shouldn’t fight, it’s all pointless.

At least your relatives will get the enshitification of the world read aloud to them 🤷‍♂️

I am not saying that is the only way. Comprehension is fun.

I am saying that trying to actively snuff out the embers of fighting is wrong and the author presents zero solutions

I didn’t downvote you lol.

This is an AI LLM issue.

Using disabled people as an excuse to discourage people from fighting isn’t right, especially when no solutions are presented.

The blogger also seems to live in a fantasy world where at the end they are all information that is publicly available will be free and in these nice LLMs and shit, to which I say that all sounds awesome!

Are the governments and corporations currently building mass surveillance really going to allow people to do this once we all have to age verify our GDID windows PCs?

I don’t like where this is going and I’ve seen disabled people used in arguments by people who know nothing of their struggles my entire life.
