Get fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked
“This isn’t going to stop,” Allen told the New York Times. “Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.”
“But I still want to get paid for it.”
Lumping machine learning algorithms, llms, regressive learning, search algorithms all in one bucket and calling it “AI” serves no proper purpose. There is no consensus, it’s not a clear definition, it’s not convenient and it only helps sell bullshit. Llms aren’t intelligent. Calling them that is the opposite of useful.
Namely: the portfolio of tech shareholders and grifters.
Lol, no. What’s your source for this?
Poor students.
Have you heard of the stories where students believed some AI bullshit more than what their teacher told them? Great “tutor” you have there.
Sure, bud. /s
Oh, please tell me more about my life, stranger on the internet! /s
What an asshole, seriously.
Have fun in your tech cult, you ableist bootlicker.
Yesterday’s AI is today’s normal technology, this is just what keeps happening. Some people just keep forgetting how rapidly things are changing.
You’ll join this “cult” once the masses do, just like you have been doing all along. Some of us are just out here a little bit in the future. You will be one of us when you think it becomes cool, and then you will self-righteously act like you were one of us all along. That’s just what weak-minded followers do. They try to seem like they knew all along where the world was headed without ever trying to look ahead and ridiculing anyone who does.
The thing you’re evangelizing only leads to more consolidation of power and money, loss of jobs and power for the working class and climate devastation.
Yeah, technological progress has historically made life worse for humans.
Technological “progress” historically mostly served to siphon power to the wealthy.
Also, as a species, we’re currently in the process of conucting a mass extinction, as well as destroying our biosphere.
I recommend you to read the book “Blood in the Machine” as an account how industrialization worsened the life of 19th century textile workers and how the Luddites fought against the disenfrachisement of the people.
I recommend reading “The Better Angels of Our Nature” by Steven Pinker. People love to complain about how much worse quality of life has gotten for people, but when actually pressed for specific ways it has gotten worse, they are almost always arguing from a complete ignorance of history. Lifespan is much longer, healthspan is much longer, rapes are way down, murders are way down, torture is way down, dying in childbirth is way down, incest is way fown, pedophilia is way down, starvation is way down, dying from wild animals is way down, wars are way down. Problems now for lots of the world are things like people bickering over who gets to be next to who when they pee and who called a “he” a “she”.
This idea that the world is way worse than it used to be is absurd and just shines a massive light on how popular it has gotten to selfish brats completely oblivious of where we came from.
I knowof Steven Pinker and don’t agree with his conclusions. I even got a video debunking him you’re probably not gonna watch either
You’ve ignored my point about climate change. I’m quite sure that concerning history, I got a bit more nuanced takes than you do.
Medical advances have been made, yes. Inpart due to, technological advancements. These are fundamentally good and not what I’m arguing against.
How is that a result of technological advances and not social movements fighting for a brighter future?
I doubt that, if you look at it globally. Israel is currently performing a genocide. I consider that murder.
Again, healthcare advances.
Not touching those points.
Ecodiversity is way down and global pandemics are way up.
Are you kidding me? Did you live under a rock for the last 50 years?
No, problems now for “lots of the world” is climate change, job insecurity, housing crisis, dangers of a global war escalation, …
Not what I said.
Says the person who choses to ignore how much progress has been done through sometimes violent, social movements.
It is honestly amazing how little you know of history. We literally had over 100 weeks with more casualties than the entire Russian and isreali wars combined back in ww2. And somehow you think wars are now worse. It’s honestly mind boggling.
Also, it is absolutely undeniable that murder is way down. You haven’t looked, and you can’t imagine how far off you are. The same for pandemics, it’s not even comparable. You are arguing that dinosaurs are smaller than most mice and it would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad that you are so sure of yourself and so completely wrong about something you refuse to research. It is literally so easy to quickly look up and find you are wrong.
you didn’t watch the video, did you?
How are global pandemics way down? hou often did global pandemics occur in the past?
Ok, you got me. WWII was afwul. I would also consider it a historical outlier.
And you’re gonna ignore climate change completely, huh?
There is a reason why you point to examples from years ago, that’s because that is where you are still stuck.
Students “correcting” their teachers on AI bullshit isn’t “from years ago”.
Old examples of AI I counted used to be the bleeding edge of AI research. Now they’re an old hat. The same thing will happen to LLMs. And LLMs won’t lead to so-called “AGI”, just like the other examples didn’t.
