I am so so tired of the whole "AI" thing. Everything out of that space is so bland and milquetoast.

Web3/crypto was at least batshit insane. "AI" is just corporate fan fiction (and not the fun horny one)

Like I know that productivity is important in economic contexts but why make something this boring your identity for fuck's sake?
@tante Instead of getting to celebrate improved productivity (because it means we have more time to be human) we have to fear it because capitalism just ends up funneling more of it to the already rich :-/
@tante the question is “what is it for, this endless drive for productivity?” We have more stuff in the west than we’ll ever need. It feels like capitalism is an AI that’s overfitting for one goal and ignoring all the rest
@tante Heard at my software factory yesterday: ms is putting AI everywhere, and since everyone is using ms products, they'll expect the same from us, we don't want to be left behind don't we?

Zzzz
@tante
but I'd like it to be the fun horny one :(

@ki @tante There's not a ton of fun horny corporate fanfiction.

But there is definitely *some*... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDDukLyXY-M

@ki @tante And I've just short-circuited my brain by asking myself, "is that video safe for work?"

@tante

Don't forget we were going to be 3D printing our own body parts by now too.

@CartyBoston Oh yes, etchical meat eatin.
@tante me too ... so bored, it would just leave me stone cold if it wasn't for the impact on society ...
@tante Yeah, its all just buzzwords. A few use cases Like automatic e-mail writing, but way to much attention for that.

@tante this actually makes the trend more dangerous and more pernicious.

large established orgs didn't dare touch cryptocurrencies.

no such luck with llms

@tante And AI just seems to be a big playground for grown-up people - you let them do everything and enjoy it.
@tante Yeah you're right I guess. The problem right now, is that AI is mainly used and developed for industry. Which makes it boring indeed. Just remember that it doesn't have to be this way.
@tante Idea: put chatGPT on Etherium and tell it to manage the economy
@tante The excellent podcast "This Machine Kills" has several interesting and enlightening episodes about AI.

@tante I’m a copywriter. I’ve played with ChatGPT and have had generative “AI” products demo’d for me.

I’m still faster and better. My work has emotion and humor. It has less bias. With ChatGPT, I’m both telling the machine what to do and editing its work.

I find myself feeling like John Henry — but the machine designed to replace me is a steaming pile of shit. I’m gonna die with my hammer in my hand, oh lord.

@tante "and not the fun horny one" you mean people making AI Porn art?
@tante it is boring and not helpful to me or anyone doing serious intelectual work.
