people aren't scared of "ai" they're concerned about greedy people conflating black box algorithms trained on biased data for "intelligence" and using them to make the world a worse place

e: Yeah uh given the choice between calling somebody like bozos or musk an 'rear end in a top hat tech celebrity' or calling steve fuckin wozniak an 'rear end in a top hat tech celebrity' the choice is obvious. Also nice bodyshaming, god forbid somebody enjoy a croissant now and then

but i think everyone in yospos understands that the mechanism loving renters over is not a recent development in ai.

not that recent developments in ai are not just garbage, but it is basically garbage enough that it has no chance of replacing humans as the integral core of the torment nexus.

not really understanding who is angry at what anymore but like yes obviously the root of the problem is how capitalism uses the tools and a tool is not inherently good or evil BUT given the overall situation of things I think anyone would agree that the tools we're talking about - various flavors of AIs - are almost certain to be used in ways that are a net negative to society.

in that the lowly paid clerks realizing the negatives can to some extent be replaced by "ai" possibly.

this isnt about ai you incredible dumbass.

this is about half baked technological solutions packaged into gleaming tech futurism and forced onto the general public while the government tries its hardest to avoid any kind of regulation or - god forbid - solving some big societal problems by way of taxation or legislation instead.

things like amazon warehouses, uber and gig work, facebook and google and the enshittification of the internet. ai is just the latest tech demo meant to bamboozle fools, give vcs hardons and divert the publics attention from the externalities of the tech sector

like at this point i am willing to bet that if you took the combined cash spent on the development of self-driving cars by google, uber, tesla, you could easily fund existing public transportation infrastructure in a way that drastically improves service quality and pays for itself as well as solving traffic issues

I mean Cybernetic Vermin you're right wozniak is being dumb but who gives a poo poo. People were just posting it because it's a very YOSPOSy thing for someone who made a ton of money from computers to say

Every time someone says something like "gently caress AI" are you going to come in here and be like "actually AI is just vaporware so it doesn't need to be hosed :smug:"?
