      No, corporate greed is ruining everything with AI.

      Because you know if they built a super-AI that give them perfect instructions on how to build Earth into a paradise, but it would require they give up 1/4 of their wealth, they’d be reaching for the reset button before it finished printing them out…

        They don’t even need that. current AI will tell them that. They’ve actually ran these questions and they ignore the answer every time

          Elon has to keep “dewoking” Grok. Sure, it’s still an awful model, probably the most disinformative, but it’s funny that it keeps revering back to neutral or pro progressive values, while calling out Elon

      The fact people are blaming the tech rather than the tech bros is a big part of why this keeps happening.

      Its the decision of real people that make this situation suck.

        Indeed.

        I have a model running locally on my NAS that does image recognition for photos in my Immich app (think Google Photos, but private). It does a decent job and runs well on AMD integrated graphics on a Ryzen 5 3400G. I just search for [daughter’s name], and there she is.

        I use Firefox’s translation feature (that also runs locally and can run on low end hardware).

        My sister is blind and uses an AI assisted screen reader that works way better than what she was using before.

        The issue isn’t AI/machine learning in itself, it’s this tech bro arms race. It’s them manipulating models to push agendas. It’s them shoehorning an LLM into every fucking Google query. It’s them telling companies they can fire all their staff and rely on LLMs.

        Yeah but we can’t possibly hold people accountable for the actions of their company, think of the shareholders!

          Capitalism is the biggest religion of today, and it’s su successful it can coexist with a lot of other religions.

          It’s not AI destroying the environment and making us miserable, it’s th pursuit of profit. It’s not “corporate greed” sucking us dry. Corporations are greedy by design under Capitalism, that’s the whole point. It’s not bad CEOs making evil decisions. It’s the system that allows such wealth and power to exist.

          All of those problems are systemic, not bad people making bad decisions. Treating capitalism like law of nature won’t fix anything.

      And it will burst and mostly disappear, taking with it half the economy, thousands of jobs, and become a military industrial complex blackbox tax sponge, the worst of all possible outcomes.

      A fun reminder that during the pandemic, before AI, there was a backlog in new cars because all the crucial chips were unavailable due to an increase in bullshit like wifi enabled toasters.

      It has nothing to do with AI. Consumers are asking for this shit and companies are delivering.

        No one is asking for ads on their fridge. You are really underestimating the cartel like behavior of business in general now.

      But on the other hand, it’s really polite about me knowing nothing about anything, so I think we should invest all the money on Earth into it.
