Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

The countries that pay human mathematicians will fall behind because the ones that do not give a fuck will use AI anyway and dominate the future of global economics because they can do it faster and not have human-centric morality like yours in the way.
Ok? How will they dominate it? My point was that the math problems AI has been solving don't really have much of a use that typically gets you money or other resources. I believe I mentioned that medicinal uses, as well as statistical, programming etc. are welcome, but these ain't it.
A better comparison may be that this is rushing all resources to organize a mission to Mars. Very cool, very powerful, might get some tech developed in the process. But if a country the size of a continent enters an economic crisis, why tho?
Here is an academic source showing how economics between USA and Europe are widening due to the slow acceptance or revulsion of AI/LLM tools in Europe.
Here is another talking about how economics between countries that were slow to adapt emerging tech, specifically AI, are falling behind at a logarithmic pace.
This is another source where it measured significant economic improvements where areas in China had marked improvements in quality of life due to rapid adoption of AI tools.
Another academic source covering the improvments of various African countries that accepted rapid adoption of AI tools and how their economies essentially exploded due to increased productivity.
I can provide more, but you sound like you had already made up your mind about AI, so I’m not gonna convince dipshits around the world about the reality and inevitability of this being a ubiquitous tool; there is no fucking bubble to pop, Pandora’s Box is open. You sound like a scared luddite, and I dont care to alleviate your fears.
That, or I have no reading comprehension and misunderstood your point-of-view, which ironically AI would have helped me understand if I used it in such a tedious way.
I apologise for not stating the obvious, but when most people are talking about AI (as was I) they're referring to LLM's and generative content that boomed around 2022-2023.
Your citations 2-4 are focused on AI pre-2023, using data over decades. We've been using machine learning for ages, those were fine, as are any AI models focused on one task. There might even be math oriented models, but as I understand, Anthropic and OpenAI have been trying to force these proofs via LLMs.
Your citation 1 talks about productivity going up, but at a cursory glance, it doesn't seem to comment about OpenAI and others subsidizing a lot of the cost.
