Wether we like it or not AI is here to stay, and in 20-30 years, it’ll be as embedded in our lives as computers and smartphones are now.

I honestly can’t understand why anyone would be OK with it. I think our society has been getting trained to just accept whatever they throw at us. “Buying” something no longer means fully owning it, and I’m not OK with that, I just have to live with it.
I disagree - definitely not OK by me, though likely legal. People bought this because they wanted and paid extra for an internet connected device, and a regular thermostat is not that. I mean, would you be OK if your TV manufacturer disabled the screen and streamed radio stations instead?
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, or even if it’s real, but this post is still interesting:
I totally agree with you about our humanity. And unfortunately, as part of humanity, if we don’t pursue military AI, our adversaries will.
I don’t buy that Disney is in trouble at all.
Streaming prices are going up, ads are now a thing unless you pay more, password sharing is on the way out, and soon showing movies in theaters first will taker over, and finally, they’ll begin bundling services you don’t want with the ones you do, and have a minimum subscription term so you can’t just cancel and switch to a different service on a whim. That’s, pretty much their old business model, just cutting out the cable companies.
In the meantime, they’re playing hardball with actors and writers, in hopes of locking them in a long term contract with less money “because streaming isn’t making money”, before much of the above takes hold.
It’s not that we don’t have a climate crisis. We do, and I’m not an advocate for AI. It’s just…mankind. It’s what I think is going to happen, “wether we like it or not”.
