News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

An artificial mind just solved the planar unit distance problem, an artificial mind has essentially cracked protein folding, we can now simulate 100 years of climate models 25 times faster than before, I mean the list goes on and on. It's definitely not garbage. This is a paradigm shift in the same sense computers or the internet were but far far greater.
It could be as good and better than what you claim and I'd still have more than enough reason to stand against it.
I understand that. The problem is what happens when another nation who doesn't like you has the AI or their AI goes rogue. The problem with trying to outthink a thinking thing that can outthink you is you are in essence a thinking thing and you can't outthink it. I understand data centers are problematic to say the least, what's far more problematic is a rogue artificial super intelligence and no way to counter it.
Get help.
I think you aren't aware of what's happening. I'll give an analogy. You have GPS in your phone, that doesn't make it an intercontinental ballistic missile. The AI I think you're interfacing with is watered down and for the masses like technology is in most regards. What is already possible and what is being built is just a touch stronger than the chatGPT you get to use.
I don't think you're listening. Assuming all of that is true doesn't make me want to stop fighting it with every breath. In fact its the opposite. The fact that this is just the pipedream of people who want to steal all your money just makes it sad.
It's unfortunately not that and there is a wider context here. I personally wish it was all flimflam or that the development naturally hits a roadblock. The problem is there's no evidence currently to suggest either of those statements are true of the current approach towards AI. I'm saying this as a computational mathematics academic. I would much prefer for us all that you were right. So far though I only have reason to have extreme worries about what is happening and what is being built. There really should be a global armistice on AI development, but there won't be.
I dont think Lemmy is for you my friend, get help
I have noticed a particular vibe here. I'm really into the mission statement of the fediverse and there's not many other reddit duplicates on the fediverse. I get that there's some sort of consensus here and that people generally dislike views aka will downvote people to hell the mob disagrees with. I do believe though there's space here for differing opinions and amicable debate. It would be sad if it became just another lifeless echo chamber of a bunch of people who all agree with one another about everything.
For the most part I've appreciated our discourse. Obviously we disagree and that's alright, in fact it's refreshing. I hope you feel the same.
