dealbreaker

are you fucking kidding me?? TEN MB IN 20 FUCKING 24.

Discord is such fuckin TRASH

This is the real story, they ain’t choosin shit. They’re being kicked the fuck out. Elon takin tips from DonOld T

it literally could not be anywhere else. Texas is a safe-space for oligarchs and bigots. That’s why Elon and Joe Rogan and all these other asshats left CA for TX.

As is Sessions

From the very beginning people were absolutely making connections between ai and tech jobs like programming.

The fuck are you talking about? Are you seriously trying to imply that now that it’s threatening tech jobs (it’s not) suddenly the narrative around how useful it will be changed (it didn’t)

Except for manager-level peeps who crave the power and control that comes from dictating how people live their lives under them

100% coincidence

And this phone cable damage only impacted youtube lol

FUCK these out of control capitalists jesus christ.

FUCK YEAH!!! NOW BREAK THOSE BASTARDS UP!!!

but it’s still utterly useless.

this is purely false. There are so many applications that bring value and if you can’t admit that then you are biased in some way/shape/form.

As a sw dev, I use AI to speed up menial tasks or help me find different perspectives on certain things, shit it’s even helpful for debugging tricky things. You don’t need to be a coder to find value in AI though, things like auto-generated transcripts has been so fucking amazing, especially for podcasting in my case.

I could go on and on. To say it is UTTERLY USELESS is disingenuous at best.

The MOST impressive thing I’ve seen AI do is make really, really convincing furry porn babes. The things are good at mixing features in images. Sometimes.

You are quite literally telling on yourself here, you seem to have a limited view of AI application and are judging the entire technology/concept based on that narrow set of use-cases (which appear to be, from your comment, chat bots, porn generators, future weather predictors, not exactly the pinnacle of AI application).

I’m so over AI, please someone notify me when it’s really useful and can take over the menial, tedious tasks

Here you go again! You seem to be equating value to the ability for the tech to function without supervision or assistance. Does AI only provide value to you if it can do those things completely autonomously? What if working with the AI is faster than not using it at all? Is it still useless to you?

Yeah and that is largely fueled by two things; poor/forced use of AI, and anti-AI media sentiment (which is in turn fueled by reactionary/emotional narratives that keep hitting headlines, commonly full of ignorance)

AI can still provide actual value right now and can still improve. No it’s not the end-all but it doesn’t have to solve humanity’s problems to be worth using.

This unfortunate situation is largely a result of the rush to market because that’s the world we live in these days. Nobody gives a fuck about completing a product they only care about completing it first, fuck quality that can come later. As a sr software engineer myself I see it all too often in the companies I’ve worked for. AI was heralded as christ’s second coming that will magically do all of this stuff while still in relative infancy, ensuring that an immature product was rushed out the door and applied to everything possible. That’s how we got here, and my first statement is where we are now.

FUCK GOOGLE SO GODDAMN MUCH

They are very much incomparable more so than they are comparable. Try taking a train over a sea or across a country like the US.

The children will defend tiktok with their lives, crying about how it doesn’t matter non-allied foreign powers can manipulate the algos and narratives.

Absolutely true, but the morons (willful and no) will take this as additional proof that it’s altogether useless and a net negative.

This is because Trump was attacking Zuck, he can’t keep getting away with this shit. I hate this fucking reality

To add to your point, AI still provides a lot of utility potential outside of art and all that cheap stuff. As a developer, I’ve used it in my work to help speed up troubleshooting or repetitive tasks.

I’m excited for what you describe to be implemented in video games, instead of being locked to the same n lines the devs wrote for the character

if anyone is complaining about this from the USA

Not one single comment on this post has said anything about how America does not have this issue, or America at all for that matter. In fact, the only comments that are about a country other than china (you know… the country the fucking article is about) mentions how Australia’s border/customs do the same thing.

Do you realize we are allowed to discuss and criticize things around the world whether or not America is guilty of something similar right? Is it really necessary to immediately without any prompting regurgitate an ‘AMERICA DOES IT TOO!!!’ comment on any article with negative sentiment regarding a non-American power?
