I don't meant to he rude, but did you read the article..?

The statement that people are unhappy about ai is supported by poll numbers from multiple sources with different polling questions, and their primary point is that everyone hates data centers (which they do, because said data centers absolutely destroy water and electricity cost in every single nearby community as soon as they're up and running)

You haven't really engaged at all with what the source article is saying. It kinda feels like you just saw an article critical of ai, and vented your feeling that people are too critical without engaging with the substantiation the article provides for it's anti-ai narrative

While I understand feeling on the outside when you're getting value from this tool, and everyone won't stop screaming about how much they hate it, but its not as though they dont have good reason to

may have legitimate concerns like the amount of precious resources used in manufacturing, the energy it consumes & climate impact, being trained on & mimicking others work without compensation

You know that mimmicing other people's work without compensation is the only potential source of profit for the technology right? Thats its whole sell. So it comes with enormous existential costs, does a lot of harm to the social contract of creating and sharing things, has ridiculous environmental cost, and in exchange we get... A very unreliable source of info that presents hallucination with the same social ques of credibility as it does actual information, and the possibility of rich people making even more money at everyone else's expense as they destroy utility rates, take intellectual property that isn't theirs, and make a for-profit product out of it that can only succeed on the basis of that theft... That ain't a great deal for anyone but the ai companies 😅

People have good reason to be angry about this technology being shoved into pretty much everything possible. It washes things of their human origin so they can be sold by a corporation without paying those humans, has a huge cost, and is wildly inconsistent in whether its helpful 😅 sure sometimes it is, but you should double check everything it says so you could just start with a regular source directly created by a human...

Dont even get me started on image generation, and how nauseating it is that people call it art (I say, as an art nerd who cares deeply about art, and understand that it is, at its core, the experience and product of thed deeply human need to make things).

And its not like the costs are hypothetical either, workforces have already been slashed

People are upset about the lack of regulation, the fact that these companies have been allowed to scrape everything ever and make a commercial product with other people's creations without agency or payment, and wreck people's already difficult utility costs 😅

Anyone have a gift link? I dunno if 404 does those but I'd love to read the article, and am sadly broke

Uhhhh, I don't think pussy does that... /j

I wonder if folks are just trying to make the concept more accessible so they can be a visible problem to more people

Not really typography, but a cool post nonetheless. I like their website's design :)

Infinitely better than ai lol

This is the solution I like best. I do like having multiple versions of a story to read though! :)

Wait, are you using thunder? For me it just shows 99+, does it skip straight to 999+ once you get there? I assumed it was showing 99+ cause they didn't wanna fit more than 3 digits on the nav bar icon

Edit: nvm, that looks like a different client- which client are you using?

I'm very bad at managing my inbox when there are replies I don't feel a need to reply to... And probably there are ones that got lost in the pile who I did wanna chat with 🥲

Dude thats so fuckin frustrating :/

I think the word interoperating kinda precludes the description being accurate to a hypervisor also

With a hypervisor they operate simultaneously, but he did say interoperating 🤷🏻‍♂️

Had you not pointed it out I would have never noticed that spot at all. The expression is absolutely fantastic!
