  • Cryptocurrency and NFTs are both blockchain. Blockchain by definition have very limited applications. It is hyped because anyone can use it to rug pull others pretending to be an investement. I'm not putting my life savings in AI. Not only that, but how can I use blockchain to help me with my schooling or cooking or thinking through a conplex problem? Metaverse is a product from a single company, not a technology.

    AI as an idea would be more comparable to electricity, internet, smart phones, or other widespread technological advancement. They impact basically every industry, both residential and commercial applications. They are a technology and not specific to a single company (though there are some dominant players). This is more like an advancement in a game that has just been unlocked. There is no re-locking it.

    It is inevitable because even if everyone stopped making more, people would still be using it forever. It is already too good to not use. And it will only get better. That could not be said for your other examples. How is that anything but inevitable?

    I think fighting the tech companies makes sense. But fighting AI as a technology does not make sense.

  • Comparing AI to the guillotine is absurd. The guillotine and beheadings would literally only impact 1 single industry, and no other.

    At one point adding electricity meant adding to the bottom line of Thomas Edison and Edison Illuminating Company. Why spend all the money and infrastructure when you are just going to get light when candles work fine? Not to mention how dangerous and ugly electric poles are. Who wants those hovering over their head??

    People literally fought electricity because they were looking too close. If you take a step back, you know when something is a big deal based on what potential impacts it could have on a variety of industries. Same with the internet. People saw the potential, and corporations saw the money. There was a bubble, the bubble popped, and the real potential was left behind. AI bubble will pop at some point, and the genuine application of AI will be left behind and whether we want it to or not, will change the world. The technology exists, and pandoras box has been opened.

    This is not a matter of faster beheadings, this is a matter of a conversational pocket expert with immediate response times at any time of day. The technology will only get better, it will only get more efficient. Nvidia will not hold their power forever. You can separate the technology from the corporations profiting and recognize what will happen.

  • How is it invalid? You are missing out on optimizations if you arent programming in assembly. We don't anymore because technology has changed, and tools have been developed to make writing code easier and faster.

  • You are using current AI as your baseline. There will come a point where writing code will mean there being zero bugs or vulnerabilities. Humans cannot do that. AI will, whether we want it or not, one day be able to. Idk if we are talk 10 years or 40 years, but it will happen.

  • I use firefox because of its containers

  • Tbf, the problem was extensions here. Which if they have those blocked as well this wouldn't be a problem.

  • There are appropriate and legitimate use cases for AI, especially when locally hosted. Tech/programming is one of the few. The problem is when its shoved in everyones face for everything and all the data goes to tech conglomerates

  • As part of our continued collaboration with Anthropic

    Anthropic is literally the one that refused to let them make autonomous weapons with their AI. There is a whole wikipedia page about it. They explicitly don't want their AI used for weapons. Of course, that wouldn't stop governments/militaries from doing so anyway. It would be different if Mozilla was working with OpenAI, but of the two Anthropic is currently the better one.

    And yes, the AI is out of the box. Just like once nuclear warheads were created, there is no going back.

  • No? Things just will exist once they are discovered. Once nuclear warheads were discovered, there was no going back. Once the internet was established, it was going to be around. Same goes for a million other things. And now it applies to AI as well. Even if every big tech fascist stopped making AI, it is still going to be around, and it will be used maliciously. Our best bet is to use it defensibly before it can be used against us.

  • So you code strictly in assembly? If you do, good for you. If you don't, the I can't believe you would intentional deskill yourself.

  • Occasional jokes in a topic filled with mostly serious answers is not problematic, especially ones that aren't at the expense of anyone else. I think the joke was appropriate. Especially on a platform that is lucky to get 30+ comments on a post, it being top comment is not going to overshadow the others. Most people can read all of the comments in a few minutes anyway.

  • That's rough... I wouldn't want to be British

  • I tend to agree, but if they are only making it illegal for the population that isn't addicted, not many are going to go out of their way to get black market tobacco and become addicted. It isn't a prohibition for those already sucked in by big tobacco, which would 100% lead to underground exchanges. But for the rest, I feel like there's better drugs if you're looking for a good time

  • idk :(

  • School is more than just what you learn. It's crucial for development to socialize with children your age, and close to your age. There's a reason the stereotype that homeschoolers are socially awkward exists

  • Same

  • There's also nothing saying they are even in the US. Or at this point even human

  • Lmao, .world and reddit are still worlds apart

  • 'Interneting' does not suggest using a search engine
