"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

This is NOT a Harvard startup. This is a Harvard dropout creating a buzzword startup.

It's quite amazing the number of Harvard dropouts who become terrible persons. If I was a Harvard dropout, I sure wouldn't boast about it.

Zuckerberg made it fashionable. Now "Harvard drop out" is code for "I was too smart for Harvard so I bailed"

I have more respect for people who finish their studies. It takes more effort, dedication and talent than striking it rich on the latest fad du jour - which is what Gates, Fuckerberg and this cretinous AI-loving kid did.

Me: puts on glasses

Glasses: drain your savings account and put it into ours

Me: okay boss transferring now

Glasses: thanks fam self destructs

Me: oh no

dropout needs to become a slur

Wisdom is not data, and being "smart" is not about instant recall of trivia.

Unfortunately I need something for solid load.

I already do vibe thinking:

  • Very unpredictable
  • I'm just along for the ride
  • Bats
  • Everything is difficult

Don''t forget testing in production!

Meh. For the "vibe" lifestyle, those things needed a small display or teleprompter to tell me what to say, think and do all day. Without that it's just a self inflicted privacy nightmare and not even as much as the "glassholes" could do in 2013.

Could someone please define "vibe thinking" for me? I am afraid the article will give me literal cancer.

They want to record literally everything that every happens to or around you and feed it all into their algorithms, so you can leave your decision-making to the large lying machine.

Advertisers have discovered that critical thinking slows or even dissuades consumerism, so they're keen to find ways to just insert themselves right into the thinking process by having an AI suggest answers to all life's queries.

These people saw the future depicted in Wall-E where the earth is a polluted mountain of trash and people have forgotten how to think and actually do anything, and were like "it's beautiful".

Why would I want to subordinate my independent rational thought to a corporate algorithm that views me as a product?

These might be illegal in two-party consent (to being recorded) states, namely California.

[–] DoctorPress@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

They will forgot how to "prompt engineer" AI so it will just crush itself.
