And like, it’s not even a good gimmick. It’s a serious labour issue because the primary intent behind a lot of AI has always been to just phase out workers.

I’m all for ending work through technological advancement and universal income, but this definitely wasn’t going to get us that, so…

Well, why would I support something that mostly just threatens people’s livelihoods and gives even more power to the 0.1%?

Corporate lust for money, my dude

Bits operate in a fundamentally different way to neurons. Until we create hardware that can emulate the way neurons process information, we’re wasting time and money chasing ‘AI’

I don’t like AI because it’s literally not AI. I know damn well that it is just a data scraping tool that throws a bunch of ‘probably right’ sentences or images into a proverbial blender and spits out an answer that has no actual comprehension or consistency behind it. It takes only an incredibly basic knowledge of computers and brains to know that we cannot make an actual intelligent program using the Von Neumann style of computer.

I have absolutely no interest in technology being sold to me based on a lie. And if we’re not calling this out for the lie it is, then it’s going to just keep getting pushed by people trying to make money off the concept at the stock market.

Makes sense to me, I think even someone borderline tech illiterate the way I am could create a perfectly good way to remotely disable a machine and prevent anyone studying it to reverse engineer it, I call it ‘Renotely detonated bucket of thermite’
