AI as a technology is not a problem. AI in the hands of rich and powerful sociopaths is another matter.

[-] don_kiedyck@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

A box of crayons in the hands of rich and powerful sociopaths is a problem. Them controlling AI is downright dangerous.

[-] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Agree. Personally, I think its the financialization of it that is going to get us. Like the subprime crisis and. Com bubble, but worse.

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Exactly. One silly use for ai I use is :

“I forget what season of game of thrones I was one before I stopped watching. I want to watch again. What season did I leave off on?”

AI: here’s theee events that happen in the show. Which do you remember?… okay now here’s three more events… okay you’re on season 4 episode 2”

I have no idea were else I could do that. I’m not willing to ruin the world for that feature but it’s a good feature.

It’s a tool like any other. Who uses the tool is the problem.

It's called Akinator. The real AI before the AIs we have now 🤣🤣

i used tvtime, and since it closed, trakt

[-] antrosapien@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Trakt has so much enshittified recently, it's new ui downright stink like shit. Moved to Simkl, and it's just shit with some chocolate crumbs

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Wow that swimming pool worth of water and the 2 tons of CO2 produced so it could think for you is really impressive.

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Well I don’t eat almonds so it evens out.

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah fuck an almond.

A rabid dog is dangerous no matter who its owner is.

ignoring climate change

More like being responsible for two thirds of all climate change, and ensuring nobody else can do anything about it.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Eh, climate change was already a massive problem before this. The current AI boom is merely gasoline on the pre-existing fire that we already couldn't put out :D

[-] sportsjorts@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah but it was supposed take a lot longer. Soon the only season will be hell.

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 10 points 1 month ago

I think, in this case, two things can be true. The ruling class is and has been killing us with wars, legislating people into starvation, etc. They’re also hoping to kill us with their llms next.

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

They killed us with the combustion engine in tanks too. The technology exists now. I don’t like nukes but nukes are real and people are going to have them. We can’t go back. Now we are in an AI Cold War. It will pass…or end the world. It’s something we have to deal with now. Going back isn’t an option anymore.

[-] rozlav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

ai cold concept, any source about this somewhere ? Thanks 🙏

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Sorry what exactly are you asking? that we are in a Cold War with AI?

The major world powers are racing to have the best AI for mostly defense and war regions.

China doesn’t want America to have better AI America doesn’t want China to have better AI.

Much like the Cold War and building the biggest nuke.

I’m not saying it’s proven whoever has the best ai will have a major advantage… but it appears everyone in power believes that is the case.

Much like the Cold War and nukes. Whoever has the best and most wins.

Necessary reminder, thank you

I like how exactly 90 days after SpaceX would have had to abide by the NASDAQ rules they changed, all the AI CEOs suddenly call for a slow down so they don't get blamed for the economic hit they know is coming.

"But we had to slow down to keep everyone safe."

No, you need to blame safety and get the public on board to avoid the pitchforks when you inevitably tank the global economy because you've overexposed the entire world to your carelessness. ...again.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 1 month ago

One of them actually said on camera that they'll kill us by the end of the decade but at least they'll make us a lot of money first. It's like real life isn't even trying anymore.

[-] criscodisco@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

We live in a Paul Verhoeven movie.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 1 month ago

Fuck that guy.

[-] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Also, it's just a ploy to get the market regulated in thier favor.

[-] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

I agree. I also like the format of the dialogue (though I wish it was more of a back and forth between the blue and red aliens)

A fully automated army will assure the destruction of the working class without mutually murdering the 1% and the planet they intend to lord over.

[-] viking@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

"AI" is closely linked to poverty and climate change, I think.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

what a weird way to spell capitalism

[-] Digit@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

I failed to take in the rest of this, after the second frame induced a loud ringing, like I'd just been hit by a flashbang of "the boy who cried wolf".

[-] pineapple@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

You should swap the colours around.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

good call :)

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Because red is a Marxist color, and relations of production being the problem is the position Marxists hold.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Right? The red guy is the one identifying the deception of the capitalist class to drive the proletariat away from their material interests.
