100% this. Too many people believes that chatbots "think". Text is all they do, it is impressive, but they need the text to generate more text. They being verbose is the point.
There is a level of evilness on that difficult to grasp. What kind of society puts that burthen on their own children?
Inequality has given power to the few deranged and depraved. No ethics, no morality, just self gratification and excess.
Anyone can write a disclaimer, that does not make it enforceable.
Next do Amazon that is selling AI generated foraging books: - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/01/mushroom-...
When I was a kid it was possible to buy any foraging books from a store and they had a minimum quality. Is that so difficult to achieve? Is profiteering not punished anymore?
If you sell food, in a food stall, labeled as food and you add a disclaimer that it is toxic and will make you sick. You are still selling toxic food and you are liable for it.
Google is pretending to give answers to your questions. They offer you a service about answering questions. And then they add a disclaimer "we do not answer questions just write bullshit". That is still fraud and Google should be liable for it.
> isn't this just a soft ban on the deployment of non-deterministic software?
Tetris is non-deterministic and it is not banned like millions of other programs. I do not follow you.
Socialism is not perfect, it is just better than any other alternative.
Citation needed:
Bubbles destroy value, assign resources to wasteful endeavors. Just look at the financial bubble of 2008. So many people lost their jobs, so much money was moved from the average worker pocket to banks, people lost their homes, etc.
A focus on construction will have provided millions with homes, a focus on finance and money stole them of it.
The .com bubble wasted billions in bogus projects and scams. The web didn't became to improve until after the money run out and competition between companies took over.
> Big money is going to build infrastructure which is fundamentally required for R&D.
That is never true. Big money extracts value from society. It is the small investors, pension funds, etc. that move the economy. It is everyday's working class spending. It is educated people pursuing their passion that creates value.
Big money are parasites that steal from society. That pee-in-a-bottle Bezos is trying to convince people of the opposite is unsurprising.
Big AI investor tells us that investing in AI is good. Oh, the surprise!
Does that invalidate this point? Yes. Because it makes no sense. The big money is not going to R&D but to build infrastructure that will be outdated in 5 years.
Neocon society. Socialism is not like that.
I have never seen anywhere in the world people that hates so much the working class as people do in the USA.
In my country the average employee is competent, they do their work and create wealth for the nation.
Again, only in the USA people think that billionaires are the ones creating value. Total non-sense indoctrination.
> A millenarian economy is necessarily a paranoid one.
The economy does not need to be paranoid, it becomes paranoid with inequality increases the stakes on everything, when you can be obscenely rich or depressingly poor and there is no in between. That makes reasonable people paranoid. High equality with opportunities for everyone makes people reasonable and wanting to work for the common good.
> “Merely regulating it is insufficient,” wrote Pope Leo XIV in a 40,000-word essay on AI last month. “It must be disarmed.”
Of all the messages, the Pope was far from "apocalyptic". He was trying to defend the working class and avoid discrimination and xenophobia embedded in the models. No, end of times bullshit.
> If things are so dire, why are American stocks so expensive?
Because it is disconnected from the average working class experience. "Everything is good because stocks are up" is a non sequitur (except for the people that only care about their portfolio).
AI means a lot of different things, I wish I could read the article.
And they should FORGET ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND GIVE CUSTOMERS EVERYTHING THEY ASK FOR.
Agents should have the same permissions as the user prompting them, nothing else.
No rules will stop agents of accessing data or modifying content if the agent have permissions to do it.
That does not make the agent "safe" from the perspective that it still can and eventually will cause havoc, delete critical data, etc. But it makes the system safe as it isolates that user access and it is not worse that having an unruly/malicious user.
I am not sure where am I going with this, but it would be funny to have chips with big ears and a fake mustache.
Unionizing is just part of the fighting back. Only splitting the big monopolies can bring back competition and healthy salaries and promotions.
Monopolies are bad for consumers, but they are also bad for employees when that monopolies control most of the jobs of the industry.
So, exactly like fundamentalist religion.
Let's finish the sentence there. Being spied by corporations 24/7 while we game, watch entertainment, drive, talk with friends, work... it's fucked up.
We live in a hell of our own creation and only new legislation and regulations can get us out of here.
It is interesting that it seems to easier to take over a legit game than trying to create a new one. I have seen this with youtube channels, inactive during a long period of time and suddenly showing mostly scams. Or the original owner became a criminal, or more probably were taken over criminals.
> The malware allegedly searched for cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions, including MetaMask, before connecting to external servers and downloading additional tools. These tools were reportedly capable of stealing browser information, passwords, and cryptocurrency wallet data.
Cryptocurrencies are the most insecure currency that we have even invented. It is paradoxical that is being marketed as actually safe.
The fact that these criminals are embedded so deeply in our society is a reason to fight against them even harder. They are corrupting politics, they are corrupting the economy, they are pushing for lower salaries and less rights for the working class across the globe. They can be stopped and should be stopped.
One does not stop fighting cancer just because it has spread out.
It is an aristocratic tax. Nobility has the right to profit on everything that the peasants produce. The peasants can keep enough to survive, everything else should be extracted.
The middle ages didnt happen because people was stupid but because there is a pressure for the money elite to extract as much value as possible. Democracy was designed to control that bad outcome, but the new aristocracy (billionaires, CEOs, etc.) is trying to kill democracy for good.
If the average working class Joe wants to have something more than scraps we are going to need to take power back and fix democracy.
Google is just a symptom of the disease.
The average working class Joe opinion does not count anymore. Corporations do not care about consumers opinion, the money is in other big corporations. In an unequal world with such high wealth concentration, power concentrates around that power.
The discourse is around growth for CEOs to get big bonuses, the trust comes from the promise of increased profits and reduced employee count. Your or my trust does not matter, so they do not even try.
So, it is a business.
Some time more than 10 years ago, industry standard moved away form Linux, Apache, open source, etc. to big-tech. Many developers attending conferences cannot differentiate propaganda (Facebook connected, Google I/O, etc.) from a technical presentation . And they moved all their stack to software and hardware that is not under their control. A total failure of engineering but a big win for shareholders.
