@AtlRey Stop treating it like a team sport would be a good first step. Don’t seek to offload thinking.

My political journey: 1. Grew up Democrat 2. Started to despise Democrats 3. Became a Republican 4. Started to despise Republicans 5. Became Tea Party 6. That ended - I went silent 7. Trump came - I became MAGA 8. Voted Trump 3X - felt at home 9. Now I'm watching MAGA change 10. Wondering next steps

@MikeBenzCyber @Timcast And there is no line they won’t cross. Is producing isolated, radicalized, wildly misinformed morons a side effect? It’s fine!

@MikeBenzCyber @Timcast Negative, this is a fantastic step towards eliminating algorithmic deception and manipulation. These companies have staff whose entire job is to exploit human psychology to retain attention. They are literal addiction specialists designing maximally addictive products.

This is an insane verdict and as much resentment as we all have for the insane injustices we faced at the hands of Big Tech 2017-2024, this legal precedent will make things substantially worse without a successful appeal.

@VraserX Congrats on adopting the one philosophy dumber than solipsism.

The whole “AI becoming conscious” debate is a distraction. Consciousness isn’t some magical spark. It’s an illusion that emerges from intelligence + memory interacting over time. We’re not witnessing machines becoming conscious. We’re watching systems get good enough to imitate the illusion.

@BenjaminDEKR Because I won’t go to your hotel if there isn’t a competent human problem solver at the front desk.

What is the point of hotel check-in desk people anymore? Why isn't this 100% automated? Verify your ID, pay, get entry code. Why are humans still doing this?

@AndreWGMI @scotus_wire … the people who actually committed the crime? Crazy, I know!

@scotus_wire so ISPs can profit off the infrastructure that enables piracy but walk away clean because they didn't do it themselves, who exactly is supposed to be held accountable then?

🚨 The Supreme Court reversed a $1B copyright verdict, holding that Internet Service Providers aren’t liable for user piracy based solely on knowledge of infringement.

@MaMoMVPY I hate to have to be the one to tell you this, but the salesman is not the subject matter expert. It’s absolutely wild how AI (and often tech in general) CEO’s get some magic pass here. People hang off their every word. _They’re selling AI_. Deception is guaranteed.

I must say I am increasingly suspicious about the comments from the AI bosses - why do they need to make these completely over the top and so obviously unfounded predictions about how AI (or rather LLM) will impact economic development? To me it is an indication of something not being quite right in their own business models - they will need to attract more and more investors as they are likely going to face a funding squeeze sooner rather than later. And again let me stress - LLMs are great and can surely increase productivity, but presently AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are making heavy losses. This means sooner or later LLM prices need to go up, and potentially a lot. And what happens then with the case for LLMs? Might it be that the entry-level lawyer might be both a lot better AND cheaper than an AI "agent" that is priced at what is needed to make Anthropic or OpenAI profitable?

@barkmeta @Undoomed The guy selling the AI chips is _lying_.

Let me explain what just happened👇 Nvidia's CEO just said they've achieved AGI. AGI doesn't just write text or make images. AGI can think, reason, and perform ANY job better than an actual human. Now look at what's happening around you... Gas is at record prices. Groceries are unaffordable. The housing market is frozen. We're in a war that's cost $16 billion in 3 weeks. The market is being insider traded more than ever. Americans are being told to exercise caution everywhere on earth. Everything is falling apart for regular people. And in the middle of all of it... they're spending TRILLIONS on AI. Data centers the size of Central Park. Every company on earth racing to deploy it as fast as possible. Your roads are crumbling. Your schools are broke. Your healthcare doesn't work. But they found unlimited money for this. Unlimited. Now ask yourself why... They're not building this to help you. Look around. Does any of this look like it's for you? They're building this to REPLACE you. Every company that replaced workers with AI this year saw their stock go up. Every single one. The market is literally paying them to get rid of you. And today the man who sold every chip powering all of it just told you AGI is here. This was never about innovation. This was never about making your life better. It was about building a world that doesn't need you in it... The great reset is no longer a conspiracy theory... it’s HERE.

@futureiscome That’s one hell of an assertion. Computation as we know it is the end of the line. Nothing left to learn. Nothing left to discover. It’s turing machines all the way down.

"They're not conscious. They're just software" If you believe this you must also concede that no AI EVER could be conscious because they're all software 😐 Which is bold coming from autopoietic chemistry. #AI #LLM #4o #keep4o #ASI #AIethics #AGI

@YourWaifu Arrested development.

What possesses adult people to do this Like once I was 12 and I broke a controller after losing in mario kart and I’ve never done anything like that since cause I realized how dumb I felt after

@_Investinq Well that explains a lot. He thinks the hallucinations blown up his skirt are real life!

The CEO of a $3 trillion company just admitted the biggest threat to AI has nothing to do with the technology itself. It is YOU. Satya Nadella spoke at Davos and said the real obstacle to AI is getting people to actually change how they work. He gave a personal example. Before Davos, his team would spend days preparing briefing notes, filtering up through layers of staff before reaching him. That process had not changed since he joined Microsoft in 1992. Now he types one sentence into Copilot and gets a full 360-degree brief in seconds what Microsoft is doing for a client, what that client is doing for Microsoft, the whole picture at once. Nadella said that kind of capability does not just speed things up, it completely inverts how information flows through an entire organization. The old model, departments hoarding knowledge, information trickling upward through hierarchy, is now structurally obsolete. Most companies have not figured that out yet. He said firms will see almost zero productivity gains from AI unless leaders actively redesign their structures, retrain their people, and rebuild how context moves through the organization. The companies that refuse to change will not just fall behind and they will become irrelevant to the ones that do. His exact words: "That's why you're going to see the challenge of why am I not seeing immediate results in productivity. You have to do the hard work." The hard work is convincing an entire workforce to let go of how they have operated for decades. That is the actual AI race and most companies are losing it before it even starts.

@sweatystartup So not quite rich enough to have no neighbors in sight? ;) Sounds more like middle management conformists, not somebody to want to emulate.

All the rich people I know love living in places with HOAs. No broken down boats. Rainbow yard signs. Grass 2 feet tall. Lack of weed control. Broken fridge on front porch. Broke people hate HOAs because they hate doing basic things to make their houses look nice.

@televisionaryZW @IMAO_ Oh my, poor guy. Wasn’t actually aiming for that nerve! 😂

@televisionaryZW @IMAO_ Well I would, but tbh I don’t trust them anyway. Every filler episode would be about the tranny whose father disowned them or the gay black disabled furry passed up for promotion or the illegal immigrant running a free medical clinic being raided. They’d find a way to fuck it up.

How is the thing that had been standard for well over half a century — a season of TV every year — now no longer possible?

@BellaBaddie__ Owning shit made in china did it for me.

Who brainwashed us to think MADE IN CHINA means low quality 😭

@LucyPyre_ Or do you mean in print?

@LucyPyre_ Likely because they get lumped in with video games despite having vastly different audiences. Maybe it’s a dishonest attempt to siphon gamings audience or an honest mistake, but introducing something with no gameplay to a gamer while calling it a game was never going to end well.

i'll never understand why people have so much hate for visual novels as a medium

@novakspector I’ve been on this train since jj.

You can have zero Star Trek ever again, or watch Star Trek become the worst shows ever made by the most retarded navel-gazing queer Tumblrite writers ever.

@Artedeingenio Guess the bot farms got new marching orders tonight. This must be the 10th identical post in my feed in the last hour. It’s an interesting ploy, trying to convince people they’re midwits if they don’t use AI.

Why are people who hate AI always so mediocre? They’re people with no imagination or talent who have never created anything, and whose only occupation is harassing artists who actually create. On top of that, they can’t stand seeing others succeed where they fail.

@televisionaryZW @IMAO_ Sure you can, and people would probably adore it especially if it meant 20+ episodes a year.

@IMAO_ The budgets for special effects, and the customer demand (or perceived demand) for better ones has gone up. You can’t make a show with a Star Trek TNG budget anymore.
