Beggar Midas@joachim So what are you proposing there, John Brown? Gonna go all bleeding kansas affair over server farms? I mean, when you're done making a false equivalent between human suffering and a fucking datacenter? Jay-sus H fecking christ. Go touch grass. You've been cooped up too long somewhere & your losing touch.
Keith@Beggarmidas @joachim what to do is stop investing into AI companies, and stop buying shit produced by AI. Stop hyping the shitty text prediction machine that just sort of “works well enough” for a glitzy demo, then fails spectacularly when put into production use. And stop trying to shoehorn it into everything.

You don't have to agree or disagree. But you need be aware that this sort of thing is rampant. One in nine conversations you've had online, on average, in the last six months has been with a synthetic identity you mistook as human. No blame there. I have too. Just with far less frequency because I know what to be on the lookout for.

Jhooper@Beggarmidas @keydelk @joachim Now you just sound like an amalgamation of a centrist and a Republican. "Both sides are the same". ""That's what the enemy wants you to believe".
I'm assuming it never occurred to you that people have actively used these systems and are pointing out extremely obvious issues that are getting worse after every update? The costs are enormous, the companies running it have no solutions except to build bigger data centers and consume even more water and electricity with no solid goals on what progress even looks like.
And don't tell me "oh, the Russians or the Chinese will beat us at this!" They can't even get indoor plumbing to their rural populace, they don't give a solitary shit as to what sacrifices their population will have to pay. And for what? A barely working system that is guaranteed to make mistakes that will be more difficult to correct than if they were never used at all?
@jhooper @keydelk @joachim <cont> absorbed an inordinate share of world GDP investment. Not just the usual suspects either. Old money has gone all in on both, so when one inevitably tanks it'll pop the other. Taking an astronomical collective sum down a fiscal black hole triggering a world recession lasting decades. Paired with the high probability of WW III in the next 18 months it'll reorganize the geopolitical world. These are the last days of a golden age. Go try to enjoy them while you can.
@Beggarmidas @jhooper @joachim oh yeah, the world is going to shit, and AI is just the latest tanker of fuel on the fire. But going out and enjoying it is a lot easier without the slop being shoveled in our faces.
