@cabel Here, too, you’re in an “AI-hater” bubble, but AI is here to stay—just as smashing machines didn’t stop the Industrial Revolution.
@howking @cabel machines in the Industrial Revolution increased productivity and created profits nearly immediately.
AI only exists today because it allowed to burn cash at tremendous rates. Even the simple online chat bots would be gone if VC money dried up, because they lose money with every query.

@danbrotherston @cabel Just like AI haters aren’t opposed to the environmental and financial impacts of AI; they’re simply afraid of being replaced and don’t want to learn new skills.
@howking
thats just your assumption missing a proof.
I hate AI even more than any other dictatorship in this world. Because thats what it is. I dont want to have it in my life. And the environmental destructive impact is devastating. All the fields of science togehther where AI - not this guessing shit - can be useful do not need those obscene data gulags. AI is TechCorpFashism! -
@SmartmanApps @GhostOnTheHalfShell @cabel half of these are outdated and the other half is reasonable, but its kind of the nature of nondeterminism that its gonna be stupid sometimes. still theres some concerningly good results too and its just a bad angle to attack the actual issues from
@uniwuni @GhostOnTheHalfShell @cabel
"half of these are outdated" - nope. AI still can't do Maths"the nature of nondeterminism" - Maths is deterministic. AI is using heuristics when it should be using algorithms, hence it's inability at Maths
"its gonna be stupid sometimes" - it's ALWAYS stupid. Even the stupid can get 25% right on multiple choice tests - doesn't mean they know how to answer ANY of them
"theres some concerningly good results too" - no there isn't https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/114929904096819843

@SmartmanApps @GhostOnTheHalfShell @cabel do you genuinely think calculators could do anything at the imo or prove theorems in research lol

@uniwuni @GhostOnTheHalfShell @cabel
"prove theorems in research" - AI didn't prove any theorems, it merely regurgitated some words which, if translated into correct Maths - something it doesn't know how to do - gives a proof. None of it's answers were set out as proofs. Terrence Tao wrote a blog about this recently, and if you read it you'll find how much Mathematicians had to guide it along the way to arrive at an actual proof. -
RE: https://masto.ai/@GhostOnTheHalfShell/116519255422938868
For so many reasons, AI is not the next industrial revolution. The math does not math. The more advanced it becomes the more tokens are spent. The subscriptions people are buying right now are heavily subsidize to the tune of between five and 12 times the cost in tokens. The companies are trying to wriggle out from that real reality. Beyond this is the infrastructure reality that distinguishes data centers from previous bubbles like rail or dot com.

@futurebird
Proponents are always comparing it to the industrial revolution, but maybe it's better compared to the likes of leaded gasoline, CFC aerosol cans, or asbestos anything.Maybe some of us have learned to spot a pattern.
@cabel@Landa @futurebird @cabel from what I've read the industrial revolution brought a sudden degradation in the living conditions of textile workers, the destruction of their environment, child labour in inhuman conditions, and *worse textile products*. So, yeah, it seems like an apt comparison, if we are all textile workers now.

when you’re inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn’t.

@rainynight65 @cabel Don’t think she knows what she’s saying..
The industrial revolution was about deskilling, removing power #labour used to have, and concentrating it in the hands of those who owned the machines
This is the same plan #AI industrialists have right now
It isn’t one bit worth to celebrate. No teacher worth their salt should be praising it
The #industrialrevolution plunged majorities of citizens into poverty for 4 generations before they took control back!
@gimulnautti @rainynight65 @cabel Yeah, um, "the power labor used to have" was being a peasant with no right to own anything.

@Landa @futurebird @cabel re:asbestos someone also compared it, in that once the bubble bursts we're going to spend decades removing slop from the internet (and god knows where else)
