That's not the definition of the singularity...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 17 hours ago

AI "revolutionizes" everyday life...

You: "AI, how do you make pizza?"

AI: [Said confidently] "Use glue"

headed toward Wall-E world at a slow trot

Literally the plot of Wall-E

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

The setting. The plot revolves around a robot helping humans trying to rediscover themselves. Just being pedantic

I mean, minus the ecological collapse we cause by sucking and being a worthless species

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

That part’s real though

They should have just made more trash robots.

Damn man, doomscrolling hard huh?

Wall-E or Idiocracy

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

This is so wrong for so many reasons

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The future is more like Cloud Atlas than Wall-E. This us simply far too optimistic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Now dat's da true-true, I seen it in a viddy

The problem with dystopias is that they usually focus on taking one line of thought to the extreme while we are moving down multiple ones.

A fundamental misunderstanding of what the AI Singularity is, or AI in general.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

For those wondering, the AI singularity is a concept in which an AI becomes intelligent enough to improve its own intelligence and does so. The idea is that it continually improves itself over and over until it reaches the highest level of intelligence possible.

It is a potential Deus Ex Machina scenario - a God from a machine.

Edit: to be clear, this is not a scientific idea, it's not really proveable, falsifiable, or even testable in any straightforward fashion. It's mostly a philosophical thought experiment. A hypothetical.

Whats the difference between an old comic and a current one? Did she retire or get cancelled or something?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A comic isn't really a meme. This isn't a comics community

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

I was making a joke about a comic (profession) as it relates to your mother.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

a meme is a concept that spreads and mutates. this comic is a spin on the wide-spread idea that AI will surpass humans. hence, this comic is a meme.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 18 hours ago

This comic looks like it fell out of the 90s

No one will be fat in 2050 unless they're not on ozempic. Every dude will be taking growth hormones. People will work out in a small gym and only go outside when they want to show off their body at the beach or trail. At least, that's my prediction for Socal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 45 minutes ago

Tell me more about growth hormones

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Ozempic is cool but it isn't the end-all therapy for weight and weight loss. A more profound control of metabolites, betametabolites, body growth and development gene expression, and general dietary options will be the future for sure, though.

I think predicting the end of money is extremely optimistic.
