    AI is an umbrella term that covers so many things. Like chess machines have been called Ai for decades before LLM. NPC behavior in videogames is called AI. Neural networks that try to fold and identify proteins to find cures for diseases are called AI. I know he means shit like Gen AI and LLM chat bots, but maybe he should be a bit more specific and stop letting these shitty companies appropiate the term AI when so many people in the AI field work on things that aren’t even related to LLMs and gen AI.

      So you’re shocked by the term AI but not the term capitalism? Like what is a mean of production? Isn’t a computer one? Isn’t a phone? If I gain a bit more than what is “necessary for my survival” is that profit and rhus unethical?

      Not strongest examples but lots of these things are very subjective. Ideologies are generally much more subjective but for the reason it doesn’t shock us.

      Well, I see no problem with a gf hating the NPC behavior in videogames. Everyone does.

      And maybe it’s the people in the field who shoud be more specific and avoid using such a vague and misleading term to describe their work. 🤷

        What is misleading about the term artificial intelligence? It never meant intelligence indistinguishable from human intelligence, until the tech bros started marketing it as that.

          It makes a nonspecialist think about Asimov’s robots, Skynet or some such. Which not what the most people in the field works on, but it is and always was used in marketing, when they need to oversell something as “smart” or “intelligent” or superior to a human expert. It’s not the first time the related tech is being overhyped, is it? I still have a book somewhere about how to write an expert system in Basic, because, obviously, everyone needs an expert system everywhere, but not everyone can afford a Lisp Machine.

      Yeah, but their current form may never have existed if it wasn’t for capitalism, and how CEOs “build”.

      Car-dependent cities did pop-up behind the iron curtain, and that did not make car dependency any better. Sorry, some tech are just inherently poopoocaacaa.

      AI wouldnt exist in any similar form without capitalism, so youre technically roght. But devaluing (emotionally) artists works and making it harder to discover them because of easy mass proloferation of ai works (would happen regardless of capitalism imo) is a very heavy negative already, not to mention to the ecological toll it takes, which isnt solved by removing capitalism from the equation either as thats necessary for it to function in its current state

        If generative AI wouldn’t exist in a society without capitalism we would have failed. We need innovation and science, just without the profit motive. I agree that it probably wouldn’t be as prevalent, but we don’t stop cern because it requires a lot of energy.

          cern might be a bad example. cern was literally built because every nation on earth feared that it would be left behind on the development of even stronger nuclear physics shenanigans to make weapons out of it; and every country wanted to be “in” on the world-class research in this field. that’s why every country benefits from participation in CERN. this research was not paid because of “good-will”, but because of fear and military necessity.

    Don’t ever settle for someone with whom liking you is optional. Love with all your heart and make sure to feel loved.

      i mean i think it’s okay to not be madly in love, so long as both people are on the same page about the situation.
      If both people are only in the relationship because they can’t find any other relationship, so long as both are aware and okay with that then it’s a hell of a lot better than nothing. And who knows, maybe at some point they realize “oh shit we’re actually in love”

        That’s me right there. I feel guilty because I’m not really attracted to my loved one’s appearance - ‘basic white blonde/ginger bitch & nerd’ is moreso my weak spot. But they don’t look like that at all.

        On the other hand, they’re really kind and sweet. And that makes me feel even more guilty because I couldn’t bring it to my heart to say, sorry but no. But on the other hand, I shouldn’t be so judging on appearances. Gruhhh!! Maybe it’s my own dysphoria and lack of uterus or definite femme appearances, but still, ugh.

          i kinda hate the idea that simply not being attracted to someone is “judging their appearance”, i don’t understand where society got that idea.
          Like what are you supposed to do, gaslight yourself into finding them attractive? no matter how i turn it, it just feels incredibly abusive towards the person who isn’t attracted.
