- Everywhere you look, the media is telling you that OpenAI and their ilk are the future, that they're building "advanced artificial intelligence" that can take "human-like actions," but when you look at any of this shit for more than two seconds it's abundantly clear that it absolutely isn't and absolutely can't.
inject this haterade into my veins i was chatting with a buddy earlier and i was saying that i don't know anybody who wants AI shit - i know AI haters and AI agnostics, but nobody i know in person is gung ho for AI. who is this stuff for? the biggest effect this whole craze has had on the average person is massively increasing the amount of spam online and adding some shit into your phone U2 album style
Had a pretty great find today. This basically never happens. I imagine some pretty good graphical prompt hacking and interfacing. But yeah, the "functioning as good or better than a human" sorta direction with it continues to be so funny. It's still taking jobs, and I think a lot of graphic artists jobs are never coming back, and that sucks.
"enormous flantikas?" Youtube served me up "AI Ruins Everything" and I will admit to appreciating it. If you click on that though your feed will be CURSED.
AI is the Dunning-Kruger God. If you don't know what you don't know, a chatbot tuned to make memes is going to pass your Turing test. And if you assume you're smarter than everyone else, everything stupid that it does falls into the "they're stupider than me, they'll like it" camp. I can relate two iron-clad, gold-star uses of AI, based on my personal experiences of late: - I get dinner started, take my kid to swimming, walk about three miles and then wait for her to be done while playing Wordscapes (without a pi-hole to make it livable). The ads that aren't Township or Evony are for cheating apps, AIs that will take a picture of your homework and give you an answer. My kid is in 6th grade and her classmates are already using AI to do their homework. If you're looking for a simple test question that you absolutely don't care about the answer, AI will ABSOLUTELY give you what you want. - The kid comes out of swimming, we pile in the car, go home, eat dinner and watch an episode of Gilmore Girls. The kid rounds to bed and I surf Youtube a little. Youtube throws up a very specific type of video - a bookish nerd with a sinister voice who reads facts while an amalgam of not-even-vaguely-good AI art that is only marginally connected to the discussion at hand. if you're looking for stock footage that isn't stock and isn't footage and you couldn't give two shits about how terrible it is, AI will ABSOLUTELY give you what you want. So - the two places I see AI already making money are (1) the destruction of learning (2) the destruction of knowledge. If you're interested in knowing absolutely nothing, and striving to ensure that nobody else does either, Sam Altman is your guy.who is this stuff for?
By now, we all know how groundbreaking the AI rollout has been! It has been historically successful. And that's why we could just be proposing marginal increases in capability for a long time, like some losers have talked about, but we're not! It's going to go from how great it already is (Very.!) to sooooooo much better (which it doesn't even need to be!) very soon, possibly by Friday. Hmmm, gee it's kinda like Trumpian-style lies and gaslighting have long taken institutional root in the business, financial, and especially the investment class. But seeing it modeled in the government? Helping strangle the government with those lies for your own business interests? Anyone unfamiliar with Kurtis Yarvin needs to read/watch up. This administration is openly an alliance of the billionaire class and the religious right. For now! Do you think the voting base, who are mostly the religious sect, are gonna be happy to find all of this out after the economy is purposefully tanked? Gotta convince the libs first, anyway. It's wild that this isn't common knowledge. NikolaiFyodorov, Please post that aussie woman's video about Curtis Yarvin and network cities from like three months ago! It's so good. edit: I got it: supporting Anyway. Here's "AI", in reality: https://bsky.app/profile/bencollins.bsky.social/post/3likifz6xls2o Obviously. Yeah let's have Elon hook the government up to an "AI", and he can just tell us what it says to do. I don't even need a screenshot, the guy can shit right into my open mouth. Note: this is literally the gameplan. Not the mouth-shitting, the "trust me bro AI government said it's good if we take entitlements ASAP". They'll wait for Congress to make medicaid cuts and thing'sll be so shit by then anyway, I mean, whatever, you can cut social security. It turns out, actually, all of the social security funds were going to an illegal trans migrant living in Hollywood, Manhattan, is what I heard was the AI proclamation. Btw, truly, I am fine, this is comedy. Well.. kinda. But you know most famous comedians are known for their plaintext content. One aspires. edit2: Pretty good thread. But it sidesteps one of the central questions, still: Who is accountable when a computer is put in charge? ...Is the entire concept of "accountability" not really a Silicon Valley thing, perhaps? Probably the investors get higher returns without it, so.Tech meme-o1:
