AI art is also missing one thing: being bad AI will always draw incredible anime or realism pieces, but it doesn't know how to draw poorly because it doesn't know how to comit mistakes, it's methodical

What a brilliant discussion. Thank you. Looking forward to reading "Empire of AI" by Karen Hao.

People subconsciously need and want connection and authenticity, but we've been consciously taught to want efficiency, and that's why many people gravitate toward A.I.'s rapid creations, the illusion of efficiency. At least, that's what it sounds like to me, that people are using A.I. to even make church media

I think there was some video editing in this interview because ChatGPT went for like and subscribe output so fluently.

@buffmonsterenjoyer3959  More like this. Someone on your team has started using AI to help do work. Review time rolls around, and he has done 2x as much as anybody else on the team. You resist, but the other people in the office start using the tricks he shows.. Budget cuts happen, and they need to lay someone off. Who gets the axe?

There's the saying that "the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed yet". Consider this: we already have the ability to track 99%+ of the citizens of the country. Between cell phones, car number plates, facial recognition and machine learning it is technologically easy to track just about everyone all the time. At that point, it's merely a question of whether you've come to the…

I was a conspiracy theorist when I was younger, but through time I replaced it with critical thinking. But this isn't even an conspiracy, you had the NSA stuff, you have that shit in China, you have this shit in GB, so they are developing technology and integrating them through civil channels, like hey, here's a face recognition program for facebook, it wasn't made for us to easily identify you, …

but the billionaires made trillions why are they not using that money to create jobs???!!! the trickle down lie

Now that women are affected there are "calls for support", yet that men kill themselves at three times the rate deserves no "calls".

"breeding like rabbits" yikes who the fuck even says that about human beings, really shows why they get so touchy about the article

Posts like this make me confident that I'll always have a job. Even if AI replaces most jobs, there's millions like OP who will need someone like you and me that knows how to communicate with them. At least until they gain sentience and destroy all humans.

In my experience, doctor's exam/check up is not expensive. It's ER, surgery, treatments, tests that kill you financially (in the US). Anytime the hospital and multiple subcontractors wet their beaks, and then you get to play footsie with them and insurance, and/or go bankrupt trying. So I'm not sure exactly where M$ expects to save money here. Maybe automating the interpretation of radiology im…

I hate to inform you, but your credit monitoring firm(s) were hacked, compromising your personal information. To compensate, we'd like to offer you a year of free credit monitoring.

The bigger problem is MUCH less consumers in the future. They will probably have the "perfect girlfriend" AI do the work.

They are angry and panicking that the Chinese revealed and exposed the whole "We need billions in funding for AI" is bs and popped their bubbles. Resorting to the final tactic: throw shit at DeepSeek, accuse of CCP spyware propaganda as damage control measure, hopefully keeping the American public assured nothing's gone wrong and they can continue to trust Meta/ Google/ Microsoft/ Apple etc.

Yep, and I do not mean this in a disparaging way: You don’t need to know anything about Tiananmen Square to write code. People who are rightly criticizing these engines for political censorship don’t realize that most knowledge workers and computer operators don’t need to know anything about politics, history, or the humanities to get their jobs done. That means AI doesn’t either.

ChatGPT isn't on trial, it's developers are. They built it and gave it to people, marketing it as this intelligent helper. Even if they can't control the output they're still responsible for their product.

Burge's data is interesting but the causal framing deserves scrutiny. Are people "becoming more liberal as they age," or are Millennials/Gen Z simply staying liberal rather than drifting right? Those are meaningfully different phenomena with different implications. The traditional "age = conservative" pattern was partly explained by wealth accumulation — you become more protective of assets you'v…

Using AI isn’t “saving time” when they literally wouldn’t have made anything at all without it

I have imposter syndrome and it's very hard for me to share things without having panic attacks in between. AI has helped me so much when I had no other choice.
