It’s a tool like any other. If used correctly it can provide a great value to the world. If used incorrectly then in this case it can also do the opposite. AI isn’t good or bad intrinsically. It boils down to our relationship to it. The same can be said for all the other tools, radio, television, internet and so on.
This is a very old discussion and argument, much older than the current AI push. You’re right to a degree but also that hasn’t stopped the rise of strong minds for software development. There will always be the curious and the lazy. The curious will always want to know how things work from the chain of events of a button click to the pixel shifts and logic gate flips to display code on a screen as well as run it. There will also always be the lazy unencumbered by such a desire for awareness who just want the magic box to do the thing.
How many software devs can write in assembly? Not many. Not much has changed if anything beyond the ability of the unaware to see their will come into creation. People couldn’t make realistic images and now they snap selfies with no barriers to entry. Does that make them a photographer or an artist? Not really.
Have done this, it’s good. Excessive but good.
Yeah when you don’t get an onrep it gets rough. Any sailor who’s done a deployment knows to squirrel away some food for these occasions.
I’m aware. I find sometimes wrapping things up in a single word doesn’t get the full story across.
You’ll see them respond two ways. Either they will argue a child can pull a trigger the same as an adult or that a child today is a soldier tomorrow. Ultimately they see them like any perpetrator of any genocide sees their victim, as a disease. Mental separation is really the only way people can cause harm to one another. We don’t kill father’s with children in war, we kill the enemy. The language around every genocide essentially revolves around the other group being a disease. They aren’t men, women, and children, they are rats or cockroaches or something to that effect.
It was mid, not a cluster fuck like the last season of game of thrones.
Not a single gps but multiple, the same trick could be done with this theoretically
The hot new diet trend, poverty.
In 2000 the whole data hording apparatus hadn’t been fully implemented yet, and AI surveillance was something more so seen as science fiction, nothing to worry about until possibly 2100. Sure there was some data collection but it wasn’t like billions of people were walking around with surveillance tech in their pocket 24/7. Things have changed and drastically. Methods to monitor, model, predict, and control human behavior are now a thing and quite robust. If only people were aware of what’s happening there would be a mass migration to secure hardware, OS’s, comms, and of course not a single cloud based always on assistant in sight. IOT devices are cool when they are secure but they often get the least attention, few if any security updates. If you can get rid of robot vacuumes, smart home assistants, smart TVs, smart thermostats, switch to secure FOSS OS’s on your computer and phone.
You can point a laser at someone’s window and accurately record their keystrokes from the sound vibrations. Things go deep in the surveillance and intelligence world. Nothing is truly and absolutely secure, just more difficult to crack.
Sometimes there’s a final spice level called “Indian hot”
Honestly we just need to divide the internet into three sections. The human only content and posts section, the human and AI section, and the AI mainly section.
Alopecia of the armpits?
There’s some loopholes to jump through depending on hardware but that’s also because of windows.
Kinda reminds me of WWII when we had Japanese American soldiers and likely their families in camps with all of their assets seized.
How about we don’t duplicate George Orwells 1984 irl?
How would you prefer people talk technology that allows machines to think, learn, and perform tasks that usually require human intelligence?
We could encode some behavior with mechanical automaton but we can encode far more behavior and more complex behavior with electronic computers. There’s no known strict limit beyond computation to the complexity of behavior we can encode. Now with a fully digitized fruit fly brain one can theorize about a fully digitized human brain. What would we call this if not artificial intelligence? How about other models that encode approximate behavior to human level intelligence?
The term has linguistic meaning and isn’t just marketing nonsense like calling food products all natural. That said there’s definitely been a ramp up of people calling essentially if-else chains artificial intelligence, lots of abuse of the term.
Sure, you know the term existed long before it became a financial buzz word right? Anyways in which sense are LLMs or NNs fundamentally flawed? I still believe your chief complaint is about the actions of people and not some mathematical structure much in the same way arguments about engagement algorithms on social media platforms is more about people and their choices than C++ or a binary tree.
It’s a slippery slope. Listening to a bunch of podcasts while driving will fix that.
