Okay so to be clear we are destroying power grids, the livelihoods of actual humans beings, and communication/research infrastructure for the sake of an algorithm that converts stolen data into unreliable stolen data and consistently loses millions of dollars. Just to be clear

But if they don’t do it, the future AI will murder them for failing to create the future AI.

Remember it's not about the murder ai..it's about the race for short term profits at the expense of everything that makes the world worth living in along the way

It's not about the murder ai it's about the friends we made along the way

Maybe the real horrific Murder AI experience was the friends with 16 fingers we generated along the way

...Geez it's like a slot machine to them. Keep pulling the handle, the big payout will surely come soon if we keep pulling the handle.

Wtf. Thats why it was always natural to develop creativity first, then skill. AI bros go right to ‘instant gratification’ but never exercised their imagination before so they don’t know what they’re ‘making’ [having produced, rather] or, importantly, why they’re doing it. No point of view, just slop

and like. even if your skills never develop that much, art is still a deeply human experience. cave paintings are simple as hell but still connect us to our ancestors. even technically “bad” art is still worthwhile—especially if you enjoyed making it.

Yeah... companies really do seem to love making pigheaded decisions that ruin their reputation with their customers as long as it makes them money.

It's crazy to me that all these art companies, whose own primary customers are artists who make real art are all diving into ai slop, to alienate the people they depend on most. Just incredible decision making

God the amount of times Ive seen techbros say this stupid shit and also that Europe is regulating too hard and strangling their innovation. “Falling behind!” Falling behind, from fucking AUTOCOMPLETE. They are goddamn ridiculous and unserious people.

“Mr. President, we must not allow a mine-shaft gap!” There was literally a movie about this in the fucking sixties.
