Yeahhh

High on something, certainly.

No different to how it was after Tim Berners-Lee invented the www. And yet here we are!

It reminds me of the super computer in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, which was asked what the meaning of life is. The answer (after millions of years years of calculation) was 42. So my answer to the question what do we need AI for? 42!

Echoes of Sam Altman

Douglas Adams prophecy comes true….what is the ultimate question

It can create an image of a panda riding a pineapple, totally worth it...

Terry Pratchett would have a field day with the inhabitants of this whacky planet.

Entirely unrelated but your name has just reminded me of Eileen Bilton share.google/jDBo7snvJKlv...

Would still be so funny to travel to the past to tell people that in the future everyone will have a pocket device with access to most of the world's knowledge and connecting us to large parts of the world and we use it to feel bad & filter above knowledge through robots that are wrong half the time

Well, they’re pretty busy over on Twitter/Swastika making porn and child porn with it.

“42”

Douglas Adams would suggest building AI2 to answer that question

Those mice have a lot to answer for!

but we do know what it does... its used to make slop so they can fire hard working people for the sake of keeping useless executives pay up.

If people get made redundant because of AI how are they going to pay their future AI subscription at commercial rates and their increased cost of home electricity? 🤣😂🤣

"What will people probably do with it?" "Oh, probably just use it to make nude images of women without their consent"

Nobody wants AI because it's just going to be used against us. Already the primary usage is for cops and fake immigration cops to terrorize the populace.

I came here to make this point, but overcomplicated my reply... Only question left is which one Sam Altman is, Lunkwill or Fook?

Oh, mostly porn I'm afraid.

I don’t remember giving them permission.

It's nicer here isn't it. It's developing some nice attitude and networks and humour. It was a bit bland to begin with but I had to abandon the Nazi bot TERF war hellsite

Maybe they should figure out why it can do for us *before* they burn the world down building it.

And if it fails it’s your fault for not using it more. Sounds more and more like a multi trillion dollar pair of google glasses.

There's nothing more magic in silicon valley and on Wall Street than the machine that allows firing everyone. That fantasy absolutely shines through in every glowing praise of AI, no matter how much blurb about abundance is being tacked on

My boss "it will make your job more efficient, tasks will take less time" and what am I supposed to do with that extra time during my working hours? Sit on my ass and NOT send emails?

We could use AI & cameras everywhere to scrutinise our every move with automatic fines for any minor transgressions. Include escalating penalties if we don't pay immediately and a Kafkaesque system to challenge the punishments. But please make sure that if Farage transgresses, he can just say sorry.

Or no ... That's also an acceptable answer.

Wait, so you're saying that essentially the whole AI industry was predicted by Douglas Adams's race of mice, who ended up not understanding the output of their supercomputer. Would be hilarious, if IBM hadn't already called an 'AI' machine Deep Thought...

If AI is having a hallucinatory day, then 43.

"and it doesn't actually work, so we'll have to take people back on to fix the mess"

Why don’t you want a sycophantic lying argument generator? Eat up!!

So true!

Between this and what Google's CEO said I don't know which one I loathe more.

Its a shortcut for morons that don't want to learn. Its an idea copying, thought stealing, creative manipulating pot of shit. Make an Ai that points out idiots that shouldn't have the ability to vote. Then let it teach them all the basic math and critical thinking they lack.

It’s as cognitively amplifying as someone taking a hot shit in your hands.

It seems to specialise in making CSAM and undressing women.

One of the few quantum computers is at a hospital in Ohio being used for increased research speeds. SO there are good uses but that isnt what the tech bros seem to what to focus on

Agreed. I think there's a marked difference too between views from people in the arts to those in science or working in IT where it's a great help

I don't, for the moment, recall giving my permission to burn electricity on it.

Microsoft eat their own dog food and use AI to create critical bugs in all recent Windows updates. Huge benefit. Everyone loves it. No notes.

Can AI think of a way to get rid of Trump without killing anyone?
