I would not mind getting lifted like this

EDIT: Nvm I realized where the second hand goes

If decompiling proprietary software becomes easy and cheap then these companies will just not allow you to download the binaries any more, furthering the push of cloud computing and gaming. “You will own nothing and you will be happy”

Call me a fool, but I really believe most people would not move their workstation/PC/laptop to a cloud. There will always be massive demand for hardware and even if west suddenly goes the route of not selling consumer hardware - China will enter the chat quite fast. By now you can build a fully Chinese PC.

As for the medical applications, clearly OP is talking about AI colloquially, and thus referring mostly to LLMs and generative AI, which has not had much influence on the medical fields unlike other AI technologies like Alphafold. Equating the two is being ignorant (willfully or not idk)

To be fair, I never said “LLM”, I’m speaking generally about AI because the data centers and money isn’t exclusively going into LLMs - it’s the entire portfolio being advanced.

Is entertainment and archaeology worth the cost of the environmental damage, mass plagiarism, and the funding of companies who are involved mass surveillance, pointless wars and causing financial / economic collapse?

There is nothing we can do about this. I personally hate cars way more than AI and believe that millions of people aimlessly driving around for fun/entertainment is far worse. Like I said previously, you driving around for 1 hour for fun is far worse than me using AI for 10x longer. Probably closer to 100x. And there is nothing I or you can do about what other people and companies are ready to pay for, and if there is demand, there will be offerings.

I also believe AI will advance quite far (relatively to where we are now), to the point it will help humans develop and live more efficiently. Sure, AI will consume terawatts of power, but what if it ends up creating super-optimized motors/engines saving terawatts of power? Energy generation, wasteful manufacturing, etc can all be managed and improved with AI, negating much of the AI consequences.

Mass plagiarism is an interesting one because I’ve been always pro-piracy and everything I’ve ever made myself has been non-profit, so I’m really not the best person for this argument. Do you support the creation of Adobe and Microsoft-like products, by AI, to be used by anyone for free? Well, that’s plagiarism too.

But ignoring all of its downsides and claiming people who don’t support this are “out of touch” “hipsters” is stupid

That was a response to “there is nothing awesome about what AI does”. It’s just… factually false, intellectually lazy. Your arguments are far more logical.

Wow, you’re genuinely… nevermind. Sorry, but I will have to block you as I’m trying to filter out people who act like hive minded redditors who only want to hate without proper reasoning or logic… Like a shitty AI.

And Jesus Christ, learn how to write if you’re actually older than 13.

When you lose in argument so hard you start acting like a teenager with petty insults without knowing how to even argue back

Bitch please, I waste way more electricity gaming 6 hours a day than I do generating stuff for 15 minutes a day. Get reality checked before you walk anywhere, old man. Don’t even get me started on how utterly inefficient, wasteful and globe-killing is automotive industry, especially US… “BuT yOuR gPU”. By driving a car for fun, each minute driving is like 5 hours of AI generation.

Trust me, my CO2 footprint is much lower than yours since I actually live a green life instead of hating on everyone else, solar panels, no cars, got an Ebike and monthly bus tickets, etc.

No you goofball, AI allows modders to decompile the games and bring modding to the next level. The one I’m currently playing only had modded assets for 2-3 years. Now there are like 40 mods that change the gameplay itself. Awesome!

Just to be safe, they should throw out all devices that radiate EMF. I heard tinfoil hat might help against the AI overlords reading your brain signals

What? Mass-decompiling proprietary software or making shitty companies like Adobe irrelevant is not awesome? Alright, what about advancements in medicine and science, even just mapping a fly for fun? Well, if saving lives is not awesome for you, then what about game modding that’s currently peaking? Entire games merged together, many games I play see mods that I thought were impossible before, etc.? Entertainment bad too? Alright, then, what about deciphering historical writings, texts, better archeology, pattern finding, etc.? History is not awesome either? I guess the only thing I can offer you is a personal robot assistant that could work around your house doing chores and stuff (we’re not there yet, but rapidly nearing it), but I guess that’s not awesome either

Man, lemmy has the most out of touch opinions around the world wide web, like a corner of hipsters. Now do your thing and downvote objectivity

I never even bothered finding a good instance when signing up, just took the first one after searching for security and everything has always worked perfectly

The E-T16 has 818 hp and torque vectoring.

That car looks like it was taken from cyberpunk or something

You really should not share videos like that, Brian. Just copy the link, otherwise if you share as a contact, everyone knows who you are (self-doxxing). Preferably without the ?is=

That’s how you get domestic terrorism. If some country forced me to live there, my entire life mission would be making sure they made a mistake.

Almost sounds like we’d need an entire farm. Imagine the horrors of something like that

“gave it up”

Tf is wrong with you? I thought I’m the only one

But under which circumstances are rapists more likely to rap?

EDIT: This comment has no misspellings and we are in a meme subreddit. Y’all need a chill pill

Meh, after testing high-end router, I realized there is pretty much no difference in speeds and latency, went completely wireless. I can imagine this might not be the same in cities, apartments, large houses, etc but I live in a rural region with no other networks nearby.

I think you’re thinking of French

My experience tells me misunderstandings, whether on purpose or not, is one way to “open up the convo”

But machine learning and neural networks is literally AI. By saying LLM is not an AI, you’re essentially arguing English language.

You really do not look as good as you think you do when you say stuff like that.
