I don’t agree.

The fact that it’s a collaborative online encyclopedia is great, and especially because it has so many contributors.

A collaborative online encyclopedia with a smaller number of contributors makes it less useful, just like a one-time copy of a collaborative online encyclopedia with a larger number of contributors makes it less useful. However, that does not make it entirely useless.

I have an older archived copy of Wikipedia. I should probably update it some time.

I think it’s both, managers are part of management anyway. They aren’t (typically) front-line workers.

It’s because bad managers are so common. There’s a saying that goes “people don’t quit jobs, they quit managers”, that’s how common it is.

Seriously, talk about major whiplash with how they do things lmao

Games industry is somehow infinitely more corrupt.

If only they could have done this with games.

I know right? Imagine this minimum wage worker not dropping everything to come save the day for his manager who had poor planning and a lack of insight.

Honestly, I kinda agree, but AI is such a powerful technology that it’s a multiplicative effect. I do agree it was inevitably going to happen.

At least we can still tell that the other person we’re talking to right now is a living, breathing human - probably because of our typing styles and because of our shared hatred for AI. lol

I don’t think a “good AI” can stop a “bad AI”, it’s not really feasible because these companies are too powerful they are basically unstoppable at this point. A bot leaving comments to dispell misinformation is interesting, but it’d get expensive doing all of that scanning and replying. You would need something like a full societal uprising against them, which yes even the average person is starting to get sick of AI, but I’m not too hopeful about it.

I was hoping Messi would win to end his career like that, but I’m also not upset that Spain won either. That goal was crazy awesome.

I mean, obviously I’m torn on it, like most things these days. Obviously it’s an incredible technology or we wouldn’t be having this conversation. It’s very good at what it does well, and I do use it daily. I think anyone who says it’s good at nothing doesn’t know what they’re talking about, and anyone who says it’s good at everything doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The truth is somewhere in the middle. With that said, the amount of societal destruction caused by it, I do wish it hadn’t been invented.

I don’t have any answers for regulating it or anything like that, I’m only one person, but I am just disappointed. I do agree stopping data centers would be great. Having some sort of limit on how much companies can make use of AI would probably be helpful. Having some sort of limit on how much hardware AI companies are allowed to buy vs how much is reserved for retail customers would probably be helpful.

I agree that the vast majority of money today is “imaginary”, people are using AI as a money printer without it justifying all of that money through actual value.

I don’t think my takes on AI are all that controversial, but maybe I am mistaken.

It’s not weather, it’s out-of-control wildfires caused by massive budget cuts to firefighting.

AI has the ability to revolutionise the industry in a way that it needs in order to survive - greatly reduce costs and greatly reduce production times.

Do you know what those words mean?

AI is being used as a force multiplier, and it’s being used as a force multiplier for evil. It’s being used to replace jobs, to put hundreds, thousands, and eventually millions of people out of work. At scale, it takes up more power than entire cities do, and the data centers and power station upgrades that it requires at that scale ends up with companies literally demolishing entire residential areas, forcing people out of their homes.

AI is not worth the trade-offs and the massive sacrifices required for it. It is destroying society.

The issue is that AI is a force multiplier, and it’s being used as a force multiplier for evil. That’s a really big problem. It’s being used to destroy society, so of course people have problems with it.

The issue is, though, is that AI is a force multiplier, and it’s being used as a force multiplier for evil.

This is really how I’ve started to live life, and it’s also how I approach solo travelling. No one can stop me from going, and no one can make me do things I don’t want to when I’m by myself.

It does work well.

However, I’m not even 40 yet, but the idea is still the same.

He really is a weird creature.

To be honest, I thought they already required that. They just want to keep killing their site, but people refuse to switch over to Lemmy, so niche communities only remain on Reddit and Discord. It’s very disheartening. People are morons. There, I said it.

Yes, definitely. I’m afraid that AI is going to keep advancing and companies will keep laying off even more employees then I get laid off and then I’m out of work and unable to find my next job. I’ve already been laid off once before and it already took me half a year to find a new job and that was even before the explosion of AI. I’m also afraid my shingles infection pain isn’t going to go away and I’m going to be stuck with long-term nerve pain, despite my relatively young age, because I started antivirals like 168 hours after onset of symptoms because I was almost misdiagnosed twice in a week.

Yes, plenty of things to be afraid of, I think that’s part of being an adult.

AI is very harmful to the environment, it destroys communities because of data centers, and it’s being used to layoff a shit ton of people.

I use AI daily for my job because it’s required, and I do use it outside of work too, but it’s too powerful, too dangerous, and I wish it didn’t exist. The way companies abuse it in the name of profit is too damaging for our world.

I don’t necessarily think that’s even techbros, it’s CEOs/management ruining it. They’re trying to bleed water from a stone, and they’re killing the planet to do it without giving a snigle fuck.
