Need a third button, ruin society to be pressing.
This is your grave, Microsoft. Keep digging it.
It’s wild to think that ‘actually being useful’ is considered a backup plan and not the starting point. Usually, you prove the value before you use all the resources, not the other way around.
It is useful, if you have the freedom to use it when and how you want. Not when Microsoft says so.
The epitome of a solution looking for a problem. Microsoft and others have dropped almost trillions into AI. With nothing to show for it.
They’ve already lost social permission by making us hate their OS. This wording feels the same as calling lies “alternative facts.” You just rename"hatred of our OS" with “lack of social permission.” God PR speak is so annoying
Bananapants.
Puts that in my pocket for later
It absolutely makes no sense that a bunch of corpos can do whatever the hell they like all while the common folk are forced to pay for their stupidity.
The electricity is one example. Bullshit like this which is completely useless shouldn’t be a thing - All it does is severely impact the general populace all while the borguoise is blinded by false narratives whilst living beside their fat stacks of cash.
Today in “billionaire says the most blatantly evil and deranged shit ever publicly and no one cares”…
I hereby revoke the social permission.
Social permission revoked. Please set the money piles on fire.
I see ai having 1 purpose
Help blind people
Image recognition is amazingly useful for blind people
In a similar vein, machine learning is also being used to improve cochlear implants
It’s also good at assisting with software development, no thanks to Microsoft though when it’s Google’s Gemini model and Anthropic’s Opus model used by copilot
They could all lay themselves off
Banana pants for scale.
I think there are valuable, narrow use cases for AI as it currently is. It should not be released into the wild willy-nilly in some scheme by greedy, irresponsible billionaires to profit from. It should be strictly regulated and controlled, perhaps allowed only to researchers who are trained to use it responsibly. I imagine it would be useful for suggesting novel solutions to problems that people would eventually come up with on their own, but LLMs would present many more now for consideration. It could act as a hallucinating muse for people who understand its limitations and know the application well enough to know what to reject out of hand as wrong and irresponsible.
The DotCom bubble burst in 2000 and lots of nonsensical companies went under. But it did not mean that the Internet was gone. It just mean that lots of people did stupid investments.
But it did not mean that the Internet was gone.
People thought the internet was a fad too.
It is the grift du jour, so it was at the time
Any city council not restricting data center builds or not expanding renewables isn’t paying attention or has been bribed
Microsoft committed too much too soon and now they’re desperate.
They wrote a “Happy Birthday” sign with a big ass B, big ass I, big ass R… Oh, no!
lose ‘social permission’
So when was that permission given?
