I like hearing this so it must be true
I prioritize ethics over optics even if it means facing criticism.
Sharing my honest beliefs, welcoming constructive debates, and embracing the potential for evolving viewpoints. Independent thinker navigating through conversations without allegiance to any particular side.

Well, I’m on Lemmy myself, so perhaps that’s some sort of an indication of where I prefer to discuss thing with people in general, not just about AI. My list of blocked users is rather vast though, so a big part of the loudest haters are being filtered out from my feed. That surely contributes to the better experience here - or atleast less bad.
Definitely prefered it over there at reddit, but I’m a man of principle so I’m not going back either.
Well I’d say that for a person to be evil they’d need to be doing evil things with the sole intention of causing harm with nothing good coming out of it. Perhaps a good caricature of an evil person would be someone wanting to destroy the world including themselves. Admittedly such people absolutely does exists so maybe that debunks my own claim.
However if someone draws joy from causing harm to others I wouldn’t still call it evil but more like extreme disregard; you don’t care how others feel, only how it makes you feel. This is why I don’t think billionaires abusing the system for their own benefit makes them evil because causing harm is a byproduct of their selfish goals but not the intention of them. Similarly someone like Hitler wasn’t evil either because causing suffering to the jews was not the reason he set up the death camps but rather a way to achieve his other goals.
No, but probably the dedicated subreddit
I couldn’t think of a worse platform to try and discuss this topic than Lemmy. The consensus here is essentially that big companies = bad, AI companies = big, and thus AI = bad.
…is how generative-AI haters redefine terms and move the goalposts to fight their cognitive dissonance.
Well first of all, I don’t personally think evil even exists.
Secondly, I don’t think these people are any more or less “evil” than the rest of us. They just operate on a much larger scale that affects many more people. If any of us normal folk would be put under equivalent level of scrutiny as these guys with journalists combing thru our every social media post and paparazzis following us around combined with the intention to dig up dirt and contribute to the negative narrative that sells better than a positive one, we’d all look like them. Most people don’t like Gates, Musk or Zuck because that’s the conclusion they’ve independently arrived at. It’s how they’ve been told to think by the media.
Advertisements are for a large part about brand recognization. Even if you’re not going to buy the product, the fact that you remember the brand means the ad has worked.
My 10 year old TV which I watch 10 year old TV-series via HDMI from? I don’t think so.
Tomorrow there’s going to be article about how my car spies on me as if that’s not 15 years old too. Or something about my office job that I don’t have.
I’m becoming irrelevant. Not the target audience for anything.
Musk really fucked everything up, did he?
Other than no longer being able to use an app to access twitter, I haven’t noticed anything else changing for the worse. They even made the “media” tab into grid rather than list which was a welcome update.
The first time I saw text written by GPT it all seemed alright at first glance but once you started to actually read it was immediately obvious it had no idea what it was talking about. It was grammatically correct nonsense.
I’m glad phones weren’t banned when I was still in school but it would’ve been better for me if they were. I think this is one of those things where we need an authority to prevent us from doing something that’s bad for us because we’re not going to do it ourselves. It’s equivalent to mom telling you to eat your vegetables.
Few years ago the output of GPT was complete gibberish and few years before that even producing such gibberish would’ve been impressive.
It doesn’t take anyone’s job untill it does.
I stopped using it after it switched owner anyway
What do you mean by AI? ChatGPT?
Just because the AI systems we have today aren’t what most people thought they would be, it doesn’t mean in a few years it’s not a whole different game.
This isn’t like we invented AI and it sucked so we declare it a waste of time. The AI of today is like those massive “mobile” phones we had 30 years ago with 15 minutes of battery life. It’s the first iteration of it. This is the worst it will ever be. In a decade or so it will be unrecognizeable compared to the AI systems we have then.
Yeah I agree. That’s what I would’ve done. You saying that wealth is wasted just made it sound like the money dissapeared somehow. He wasted his chance on financial independence, sure, but that’s not away from the rest of us.
What’s the problem? They put the money back into circulation. That’s a good thing, no?
But how do we hate-follow Elon then? We need our daily dose of outrage after all.
Are you sure? Last time I checked it just gives you a pop-up asking if you’re sure you want to use that word as some people can find it problematic and if you say yes it’ll get posted like a normal tweet.
