We're destroying the planet for a fancy autocomplete to satisfy stockholders
@HilliTech i do not use any ai, my keyboard is FOSSKEYBOARD, no autocomplete, every word written out in full, no auto correct, no spell check, takes longer, but helps my brain work too. I once read that the Greeks had better recall of facts & information of their world, because they had to memorize that which they needed to be aware of. I would say this would be true for any society without access to written archive to rely on. Hunter gatherers would be able to name all trees. Can we?
@HilliTech True. The autocomplete part is new, the destroying and shareholder part less so.
@HilliTech ...which is strange in itself, as stockholders will NEVER be satisfied.
@HilliTech Oh, the stockholders are getting dissatisfied with the lack of profitability in the space. Lots of investment, litte business income.
@HilliTech Oh, I thought we were destroying the planet to find the self-aware god AI that'll undo all that destruction and/or destroy humanity in immanentizing the eschaton and also satisfying stockholders.
