AI seemed kinda cool... 5 years ago... 😂

[-] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 10 points 6 hours ago

sam altman working hard on becoming the most hated human of the month.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 6 hours ago

This point I feel like the grim reaper owes us a few dead billionaires after been a dick all year.

[-] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 2 points 3 hours ago

I think we need to be the change we want in this world.

[-] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 1 points 2 hours ago

If only these words of wisdom were taught to all the little children.

[-] Leviathan@fedinsfw.app 13 points 9 hours ago

Oh, the morons are definitely worshipping AI.

My brain-dead neighbor who said he would ask chatgpt when garbage day was after I told him what day it was and then pointed at a sign the city zip-tied to the parking sign 15 feet from where we were standing at our front door that said what day it was. That kid definitely worships AI.

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 8 points 9 hours ago

I mean something that was cool 5 years ago is still better than something that's not cool now right?

[-] LeftReddit2@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

I will say, as an old and fat and gay millennial, Gen Z actually does make me optimistic with this trend I noticed of a lot of them rejecting newer tech and going more analog.

I even know a few who tossed out their smartphones for dumbphones and some of my other Gen Z friends asked me for help on how to burn CDs.

I dunno, with how bad things are these days, this is something that gives me hope.

Millennials need to stick with supporting Gen-Z. I feel like as people start inheriting money, or choosing to use destructive tech like AI, the media is going to get better and better at dividing Millennials. Elder Millennials are most at risk of splitting off.

I don't want us to get to a point where Gen Alpha hates Millennials. Millennials are very good at rejecting media programming and trying to break systemic cycles, hopefully that's our thing, and the next generations can steer the ship somewhere better than boomers did.

CDs are digital storage - source: every CD player from the 80s through the 90s proudly displayed a “digital” decal on its body.

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

There was a rare CD-V format that played analog video if played on a LD player, and played as a CD in a CD player. I had a David Bowie single with its video on such a disc, long gone.

every photo of his face I see is somehow even more punchable than the previous photo of his face I saw

[-] sanzky@lemmy.world 39 points 17 hours ago

can outlets please stop echoing every stupid thing this man says? we all know he is lying (including him) he is just pushing a very specific narrative. covering him just helps him spread his AI gospel

[-] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 14 hours ago

Sam Altman probably owns the media

[-] treesquid@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Open AI is mostly owned by Microsoft, who owns NBC. He's paid by the people who own the media.

[-] FearMeAndDecay@literature.cafe 2 points 14 hours ago

Well his rich friends do at least

[-] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 14 hours ago

I wouldn't say they are friend, just business partners (i.e. cult co-members)

[-] Avicenna@programming.dev 4 points 11 hours ago

Yeah because whatever people like you get their grubby little hands on, it instantly gets enshittified.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 16 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

By posting this type of shit you are building his platform and legitimizing his opinion.

You are an enabler of one of the most privileged, selfish, and arrogant pieces of shit alive.

Stop.

This goes for OP and Futurism.

People like Altman live by the saying "No press is bad press", by both ways you can interpret it:

  • There's no such thing as bad press; and
  • Not being in the press is bad.

Even if ragebait/engagement-bait. In the end it only legitimizes him.

And I get that by responding I'm also engaging, but I see this type of comment as more of an "investment" than an "engagement".

[-] motruck@lemmy.zip 13 points 17 hours ago

Stop posting things CEOs say they are pathological liars.

[-] bugsy@lemmy.zip 11 points 17 hours ago

Fuck Sam Altmam

[-] abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 17 hours ago

Fuck you, Sam.

Somewhere in the forest there exists a tree planted just to replace the oxygen Sam Altman wastes. He should find it and apologize.

[-] coolmojo@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

There was a tree. It was cut down to make way for a data center.

"You need to understand that Sam [Altman] can never be trusted." "He is a sociopath. He would do anything."

-Aaron Swartz

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

I'm surprised that Altman was relevant enough to comment on when Swartz was still alive

[-] berno@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

Altman was at ycombinator along with Aaron

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

I cant wait until he's out of the public eye. I cant even laugh at the dumb shit he says cuz its not even funny, it's just dumb!

[-] bollvirtuoso@lemmy.world 85 points 1 day ago

Saying "you don't need your own RAM" is the "let them eat cake" of this generation

"I could easily afford to do that 5 years ago," Billionaire says of people trying to live their lives within their budgets.

[-] ILikeStupidMemes@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 day ago

What would be cool is you turning into a corpse Sam.

[-] abc@suppo.fi 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Pathologising life as mental health problems isn't cool anymore?

[-] melfie@lemmy.zip 63 points 1 day ago

I must be off my game today. A headline started with “Sam Altman Says” and I accidentally read the whole headline.

I'm gen-x and trying to think of what was cool 5 years ago. 2021. So middle of the pandemic. I guess wearing funky masks, working from home, socially isolating? Aw shit, I miss those things too.

[-] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 1 points 13 hours ago

When were NFTs?
