      The difference is that a lawyer and a plumer are both useful and accountable.

    This is just marketing. It’s not aimed at us anyway, we’re not setting up antire data centres to run AI.

    ohhhhhhh this is a big indication that people should not be using AI

    when has a corporation saying “use our tech or you are dumb and your life must suck” ever been true?

    You know, German has a word—Fremdschämen—that means feeling embarrassment on behalf of someone else (someone else you don’t even know and who is oblivious to your embarrassment on their behalf). I think about that word a lot when watching degenerative AI fans babble about “their” writing or “their” art.

        he’s raking money now, but his continued success depends on his customers turning profit from ai, and buying his chips forever, and what cannot continue has to stop. vc money can’t paper over this financial burn pit indefinitely

          He owns the company producing skynet’s physical brains… everything you’re seeing in the world is positioning for civil unrest due to this technology. They’re even starting to say the inside parts out loud.

          The reason so much $$$ is thrown at all this is it “reduces the employee cost burden” indefinitely.

          I’m not purporting it’ll be good or decent replacement, but enshittification is a word for a reason. quality be damned, this will be forced on us.

            all of these brainrot as a service chatbots are subsidized by vc at 10x rate give it or take, it’s not economical to use them now even for things like call center and definitely won’t be after vc money dries out. massive influx of cash into capex by the same just papers over recession that you out there already have and graduate unemployment is one of its facets that isn’t masked this way

      You jest, but chatbots are essentially that. Don’t doubt for a second that as soon as it becomes viable to satisfy users physically like that they won’t hop on that train immediately and slap a subscription on it.

    Nvidia CEO says you’re “Insane” If you don’t outsource the act of thinking to AI owned by big tech assholes.
