AI was a mistake.
Best wishes.
capitalism was. tech is just tech.
AI can be used to speed us up, so instead of having free time we get 1 person shoddily doing the work of a few.
I tend to believe the progression of technology hasn’t been a good thing for your typical worker. With AI in particular, having workers at all seems to be at odds with the progression of technology at some point. Capitalism isn’t sustainable.
More than just a mistake. It's the mistake that will keep on mistaking.
I feel we've been through this several times already...
Jobs become obsolete. It sucks. But that's the reality. AI is not a mistake, but it will kill a lot of livelihoods we care about in the creative scene. But just like coal mining, life will move on.
Yeah, so were cameras.
Adapt or die. Welcome to the human condition.
It’s exactly the same thing in the sense that a slingshot and nuclear bomb are the same thing. That is to say, the degree is so extreme that they might as well be unrelated.
I haven’t heard anyone propose that digital cameras are an existential threat to humans. This is no mere horse and buggy problem. If we develop generally intelligent AI it’s game over for our capitalist global economy.
