Why not both?
"It's like having a reference librarian!"
My Brother in Taxonomy, it is the farthest thing from that.
A reference librarian is a person with feelings, motivations and ethics, who has a goal of helping you find the answer to your question.
The chatbot is a clockwork mechanism that extrudes text optimized to make you *think* your question has been answered.
It is also a machine built by fascists with the goal of creating a dependent, de-skilled, submissive populace and ending Democracy. HTH.
AI actually is causing a lot of unemployment in tech.
Not because it has been able to successfully replace anyone's job, but because the big tech companies are all gambling so much on becoming trillionaires that they have to throw tens of thousands of workers into unemployment to pay for it.
Whenever I read reporting on Nvidia and AI, I’m always confused by the rhetoric and framing.
This is a gold rush. The people who dig for gold wind up ruined, the people who sell shovels make bank.
Nvidia is selling the shovels, so of course they don’t care about the quality or usefulness of their products. They are making tons of money, that doesn’t mean there is anything worthwhile there, just like most gold rushes didn’t really lead to many folks striking gold or keeping it. Why can’t more journalists see that?
@angelalluna @empardalada @maximclatellot @boss @Car Així és. No deixa de ser irònic que no sigui possible parlar de l’espectacle sense sortir de l’espectacle.
I a aquesta xarxa social potser no tant, però n’hi ha que són espectacle i res més.
@angelalluna @empardalada @maximclatellot Exactament, a això es referia Debord: el poder que tenen les imatges sobre els individus. Això és el que anomena espectacle.
