Right. We have AI throwing blue-collar and white-collar people out of work, a massive scale back in government services I.e. that social safety net, industries being downsized for economic reasons, etc. And all this guy can tell the newly homeless former middle class person is that they should learn how to use AI.

I have to shake my head at someone thinking they could bring AI into a place filled with artists: people trained to LOOK.

​@silent_pilled how so? I recommend looking up "art is theft" its a book that came out even before ai, it goes over how there is no originality technically. Every piece of art has been inspired by other art, so I never really understood that viewpoint. Unless it's clearly taking credit for someone else's work, I don't see it that way at all. Reference material does not equal plagiarism.

Whoa. That liquid democracy thing is GENIUS. I've been interested in open government and alternative government for awhile, but never heard of this approach. So it's essentially like a party system that is totally organic, where there's a hierarchy of trust? So I can put my faith in a neighborhood group, and entrust my vote to them, and they can be a member of a larger organization, and entrust a…

it's not even snow, rain and water puddles are also a huge problem. Self driving cars are only for major well mapped out city highways on clear sunny days with freshly painted roads.

Amazon can't even make a website UI that isn't garbage... Seriously, try browsing amazon instead of searching for exactly what you want...try navigating the site and finding where to put a gift card in with out a direct link. It's mindblowing how terrible it is.

yeah if a company is on the stock market it's prone to becoming a slave to quarterly earnings reports, which makes it tough to be ethical

"...works urgently needed to prepare developing countries" you will never ever convince greedy rich people to stop being rich and greedy by telling them poor people will die around the world if they don't. This is the mistake we made with global warming. "This will hit poorer nations the hardest" isn't bad news to wealthy countries. Even if it does mean bad things for us in the end. "The mos…

It never was for your grandkids. The alarms were being rung in the 60s. From what I've read, there was almost a nice movement then to curb today's effects. It would have been so easy then. We could've avoided so much. Now, it will be very, very difficult.

This is correct. Ten years ago I worked at a company that sold facial recognition surveillance systems to forces around the world. Most of it was garbage though.

"there are literally not enough jobs to go around" is the absolute quintessential problem of the 21st century. As the lowest skill jobs get eaten up by automation, you're creating a subset of people that don't have the capability to work for a living. The remaining jobs available to them (if any) don't pay a liveable wage, and the jobs that pay a liveable wage are jobs that they are simply not ca…

>yikes who the fuck even says that about human beings Winston Asshole Churchill, apparently Churchill also called Indians 'a beastly people with a beastly religion'.

Not just this sub; technology subs as well. AI is truly the alchemical gold of our era and people really want to believe in it. Personally, I don't think AI is even a real thing. Not how we imagine it to be anyway.

They may not release it *to* the public, but they can certainly unleash it *on* the public. The challenge we're facing is not knowing how AI is being used to manipulate us. We have no visibility into the decisions being made with our data. Corporate transparency and regulation that represents citizens is a joke! For something that is slated to transform the meaning of life, it's surprising how ca…

Republicans are specifically anti-Zelenskyy with their support of Trump. There's never been a better time to ditch him, and they still refuse.

Did not realize AI are people. No I do not support victimizing children for anything, so move on if you think that’s my intentions. But seriously, I think it’s a question that we need to have a discussion on in society. The only problem is that would make us have to acknowledge a lot of terrible truths about mental health, pedophelia, what a person is, morality and our blind spots, and reality.…

There are already so many AI written bot comments on Reddit, and they always say nothing but are usually highly upvoted because they're one of the first comments on a post. They generally just rephrase a post's title (and text if it's a text post). Like, the exact same content as the post it's replying to, just in different words. Then you look at their profile and literally every comment is that…

Sweet Jesus now we know why so many execs involved in AI safety are leaving. Sam Altman is really trying to speedrun his reputation through the Zuckerberg timeline. At this rate he’ll be denying his product is causing a genocide in Myanmar this time next year.

He knows more than average person, but then again is far removed from the actual AI development that we should take his opinion with a grain of salt

He literally wrote a book about how it's a black marble unless you can somehow get alignment right over a decade ago. The entire book is that joke tweet about the Torment Nexus. I don't have to guess, I know that the people at all the major AI corps read that book and instead of viewing it as a giant red flag, utilized it as a playbook and then sold VC on those ideas because they outlined some in…
