AI ruins things for you

FTFY

I think OP means that if you didn’t remove the real spider webs (thus removing the spiders and damaging the ecosystem), you wouldn’t have to use the fake stuff.

As a programmer/dad, I would think the cross section would be pretty high.

I was reading a book the other day, a science fiction book from 2002 (Kiln People), and the main character is a detective. At one point, he asks his house AI to call the law enforcement lieutenant at 2 am. His AI warns him that he will likely be sleeping and won’t enjoy being woken. The mc insists, and the AI says ok, but I will have to negotiate with his house AI about the urgency of the matter.

Imagine that. Someone calls you at 2 am, and instead of you being woken by the ringing or not answering because the phone was on mute, the AI actually does something useful and tries to determine if the matter is important enough to wake you.

Like my parent’s Amazon Echo with “Ask me what famous person was born this day.”

Like, if you know that, just put it up on the screen. But the assistant doesn’t work for you. Amazon just wants your voice to train their software.

The deciding factor on whether something needs a license is usually speed. If this goes slow enough, it would be fine without a license, IMO

Blame the programmers? Yeah, no. The software is owned by the company, blame them.

If a building collapses. You blame the people who built the walls and poured the concrete, or the ones who chose the materials and approved the project?

In any case, often programmers and engineers retain no rights to the software they worked on. So whoever profits from the software should also shoulder the blame.

I think it’s pretty obvious from context he is not talking about Child Porn.
