I wonder why people don’t want cloud based AI running their microwave
CEOs are generally speaking… calculating. They just want this in the news. They want people talking. Who is interested in an IPO nobody is talking about? Nobody gave a damn about Oracle after they collapsed until their CEO started doing ridiculous shit just to be in headlines, like sparring with Red Hat, as an example.
They keep telling us how cool and fun it is. Why won’t we believe them? They know what’s best for us, and they’re going to make us take it whether we want it or not.
Not me, I’ve never touched the shit.
I remember a time when tech ceos actually used the internet. It seems that now they just get their MBAs, a job, and then spend all their free time avoiding technology and listening to other people tell them what they want to heat
Perhaps if they didn’t buy up all the RAM, HDDs , GPUs and making PC building / home computing so expensive, maybe we might consider liking it a bit.
Don’t forget that the Internet is currently ruined by AI-slop that is continuously flooding once interesting human-created content. This is probably my biggest gripe of AI. I’ve significantly reduced my screen-time, basically stopped coding in my free-time because of this sloppy mess that we call Internet right now…
Nah I’d still hate AI because it’s trash
There was absolutely no reason for AI companies to go batshit crazy. This was pure supply shock. Each level assumed 10x exponential growth. A sane 2x or 4x would have been manageable for all suppliers
Completely out of touch!
They shoved AI everywhere without any concern over what the users want. Now the users are resentful, while the AI bros go Shocked Pikachu Face.
I can’t help but wonder if the public reaction would’ve been more positive if we hadn’t been inundated by AI intrusions in seemingly every facet of technology. In a way, I can appreciate that the hatred is home-grown - the biggest issues I see revolve around the ethical issues stemming from AI’s lack of regulation, and ethical issues don’t tend to make the public react. The fact that people already found their own reasons to dislike AI means we’re all on the same page. If the public were fans, I’d just be dismissed as a bleeding-heart for giving a shit about right and wrong.
But here we are, standing together in hatred. So beautiful.
I don’t hate the AI that much. It’s useful in some specific circumstances, but mostly is just a fun novelty toy.
I hate the CEOs forcing it down our throats.
Ok, but you should hate it though. AI, as implemented by capitalism, is downright detrimental in so so so many ways. Even if we set aside the huge environmental costs, energy and water price hikes in communities near data centers, loss of jobs due to AI, theft of IP, and sloppification of the internet, it is also doing things like convincing my friend with bipolar that they should attempt suicide.
That’s kinda contained in “the CEOs forcing it down our throats” though, y’know? They’re forcing it down our throats because capitalism requires it, they need public buy-in and mass adoption or else the whole economic structure implodes.
None of that tells me I should hate the technology, like any other technology under capitalism.
You can’t just take things out of their historical context, or you’re not doing dialectics anymore. We live in the reality we live in. However, even if we lived in a communist utopia, the tool’s insane resource requirements and impacts on people’s health and livelihoods should still make you disdain its use in any context other than research.
We also live in a historical moment where there are national experiments with different material relations than the predominant capitalist form of the West. China specifically is doing things somewhat differently by training models to be modular and task-specific, instead of the obsession Silicon Valley has with making an everything app. I’m also interested in their experiments in cooling data centers with sea water, as well as how they’re phasing out fossil fuels while rapidly expanding next gen renewables+grid battery storage to power those data centers.
I don’t know if I’ll go as far as to say they’re doing AI right, but I think when the bubble bursts they’ll adapt far better.
Good point, and I don’t really know how LLMs are being rolled out in China. However, given the context of climate change and the impending broader global ecological collapse, I really don’t see any reason at all that a tool with such limited usefulness relative to its outsized footprint should be made broadly available. It’s like, on a global scale we are already doing basically nothing about how completely fucked we’re going to be in the 30-70 years.
Misinformation.
Because we are not absolute morons incapable of independent thought like they are
Artificial intelligence is a primary keystone for a science fiction civilization to move its labor from the people to machines, but they obviously ignored the other keystones such as equal rights, shared wealth and further opportunities to all humans. The wealthy want all the wealth and opportunities to themselves; cut the people out of the equation to gain more market and never have to pay the lower class citizens ever again. They clearly designated themselves no longer human. We the people think for ourselves and we the humans should easily abandon them. No longer serve them no matter how much they offer, no longer entertain them no how much they give, no more trust no matter how much they plead. They ignored us for so long and destroyed our world, why should we hear their pleas?
Key difference, what is called AI in science fiction isn’t the same as the AI we see today. These companies just adopted the term AI from science fiction as a marketing strategy. Not because it’s actually representative.
Some people are now having to clarify AGI, rather than just AI, because the term has got so diluted.
If the line is “AGI is what is necessary for us to have robots to do labor”, then we’ve had “AGI” since 1961.
The “robot” arms that took over assembly lines are not really any different than the machines that started the industrial revolution. They are simply a refinement of that technology. A true takeover would require something that didn’t need to be reprogrammed any time you needed to shift a bolt over a millimeter.
To be fair, I’m not saying “AGI” didn’t exist before, I’m just saying it wasn’t used very wildly because at the time “AI” and “AGI” were otherwise synonymous.
Really illustrative of how out-of-touch people become when they reach a certain level of personal wealth.
You know what I HATE?
Look at the FUCKING SENTENCE STRUCTURE OF THE ARTICLE!
It’s written by FUCKING AI!
I think the world is ready for me to start my blogging again. Complete stream of consciousness garbage no AI could replicate 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly it probably scraped Time Cube so they have already got that kind of nonsense in the system.
I think what’s worse is the fact that it’s destroyed our trust in one another, causing us to believe things to be AI even if they are not. I ran the article’s text through several AI detection services, and while not entirely reliable, they all say it’s 100% human written.
AI detectors are very unreliable. One OpenAI used to develop had a 20% success rate (approximately).
AI detectors are completely unreliable and useless. They are AI themselves, and rife with all the problems that other LLMs have.
AI: “Hating AI? So hot right now! Brb – writing an article.”
“Everything I don’t like is AI”
Mate, it’s opening the article with a rule of three, followed by an emdash and a conclusion, it features a weirdly Cased title, repeatedly uses italics in weird places and quotes an unusual amount of things.
I use emdashes, sparingly, in my own writing. Hooray, now people mistrust me for doing that.
As they should.
I don’t know man Tech CEOs keep talking about their latest shit will replace people’s job jee makes me wonder why?
Even though AI is an ideal replacement for manual labour, if workers are out of a job thus broken, I can’t see how this would be an advancement of the society. Products don’t matter. Distribution of products does.
LLMs can’t do manual labor.

AI is nowhere close to being an even somewhat suitable replacement for manual labor. Human laborers are both better and cheaper.
Human laborers are both better and cheaper.
Yeah, well we’re operating at slave wages.
We also hate the CEOs
