I want to know why you are such a weak fucking bitch that you gladly give up your ability to decide your own future for yourself? I want to know why you cower when the rich demand that they be allowed to suck the fucking life out of you, and have no motivation to fight back? Do you love them? Do you hate yourself?
Stop being a weak nihilist. It's not sexy.
@smutmag It's such a weird argument. Climate change is also coming whether we like it or not (all the quicker due to AI...) but that doesn't mean we have to embrace it!

@smutmag No clue who you are feditraveler, but that deserves a follow. Love it when people passionately spread truth.

@smutmag AI is mostly losing money (unless you're nvidia). Whether we like it or not.

@zeborah @smutmag It also is a bad argument from a historical standpoint; "A.I. is coming for us whether we like it or not" sounds a bit like telling non-German WW2 Europeans "Germany is coming for you whether you like it or not.".
...Incidentally, WW2 Germany was pushed back because the British took the position of "That doesn't mean we should be speaking German.". Also, the French, and the Russians.
The countries that said "Might as well join up with Germany if they're coming for us whether we like it or not"...did not come out of WW2 looking good.

@smutmag it's not 'coming' it's here.
Modern medicine, vaccines, banking systems, fraud detection, telecoms systems and all that jazz that most peeps are clinging to for dear life.
Not wanting clippy on steroids on your desktop doesn't matter.
The business model is unsustainable. The companies that sell "AI" are losing money hand over fist. Running the requisite future data centers takes more power than we can generate.
I'm not sure what the crash will look like, but it is physically impossible for it to continue at current levels.
Only creative (and very likely illegal if we had a functioning government) accounting has kept it from crashing at this point.

@jrdepriest @smutmag it's not a 'business model' it's tech we've had for decades.
Governments and armies are leveraging this stuff at scale and have been for long time, it's not going away any more than bronze, writing, steel, money or computers are.
Thinking those trying to control and monitize this stuff are wankers seems basic, they are.

@smutmag In my experience the people who say that are almost entirely concern trolls. They don't say it as practical advice for dealing with something bad. They say it because they WANT it to be true. They want us to lose and they want the boot they're kissing to win and they're too cowardly to say that or they think they're being badass manipulators by disguising it but they're really just losers.

We have not had generative "AI" for decades.
We've had machine learning and expert systems and neural networks. You can run those on powerful, but still obtainable, computers.
GenAI relies on extremely expensive and distributed external compute that only sprawling datacenters can provide and the only way even a government could afford it long-term would be to own it or completely conscript it and pay for it with our taxes while actively taking money away from other projects. You could bankrupt a country trying to feed the beast.
It is not sustainable.
The worst case outcome would be to make it illegal for anybody but the government to use so there is no longer competition for the necessary compute, nationalizing all the companies and technology, then classifying all research. I wouldn't be surprised if the United States tried that but I'm not sure the oligarchs would let that happen.

@jamoquanty @jrdepriest @smutmag You appear to be conflating machine learning with generative AI. They are adjacent but not the same thing. One of them has uses to help people, the other just takes resources, doesn't produce anything viable and turns people into mental babies.
-
@jamoquanty The tech companies are the illness, and the people you should hide your money from, and the fraudsters, and the destroyers of communication and all that jazz that most peeps blame each other for when they should be tearing down the tech industry. They ruin your world so they can sell you a bad solution. They can solve nothing, and their infiltration into every aspect of our lives does not make them inevitable: They can be taken down, & humanity can solve its own problems.
@smutmag @jamoquanty That's the point: It's not a technology problem but how we handle those companies.

@smutmag easily explained. I' m blind and because you all refuse to give me access to your visual culture, I now need to use AI solutions to force my way in. If it were up to you all, we, the blind, should be living in the 19th century, without digital tools. Linux is inaccessible. Kind regards, your weak, fucking, BLIND bitch.

@anantagd You don't get to destroy the environment, or prop up tech billionaires or sell out democracy or steal the work of artists or put people out of a job or create weapons of war because you're blind. Society needs to accommodate you better. But you still shouldn't use AI. it's more convenient for EVERYONE , that's the point of it. It doesn't change that it's totally evil.

@ariaflame @jamoquanty @jrdepriest I don't need machines to learn. I need children to learn. Our literacy is falling, and we're giving robots--which means the tech companies--more control over our lives. I don't want either of them, both are destructive, and neither of them give us what we need. We are human beings, and we are capable of solving our problems without robots, which require the centralization of all information, which is to say, all power, and which can only be weilded by very few.
-
@smutmag @jamoquanty That's the point: It's not a technology problem but how we handle those companies.
@droidboy @jamoquanty It is both. Because the companies are not an anomoly--they are quite human. If you centralize all of the power and information, ruthless psychopaths will seize it. And since this is an ethereal kind of technology that the masses will never understand, they will never control it. The corruption is inevitable.
-
@smutmag that seems to be people you are not happy with, not tech.
Big steel, big bronze, big scribes, big printing press, big computer etc...it's not the tech that's the issue, just when novel stuff pops up it will be leveraged by both good guys and wankers.
I rather like it, I'd be a long dead weak little bitch if it wasn't for magic tablets and vaccines derived from this stuff over the past decade or two that keeps me alive.
@jamoquanty I, a person who has never been to trade school or built any kind of machine, could feasibly build a printing press.You can look at it and understand what it is. AI is not something that the average person can understand, and therefore, they will never have control over it--there will always be someone on high controlling US with it. It is very different from everything you just said. And it is uniquely dangerous.

@smutmag Actually no. It' s a crying shame that this is the state of affairs. I resent being carted out by Meta as "meta glasses accessibility token". I also resent being shouted at for using AI. And it' s not as if AI based tools do provide access. Rather, they make sighted people believe that accessibility is taken care of.
