But on a fundamental level, aren’t we just adding an incontrolable step of noise injection in a decent time-tested information flow?

Yes.

Every kid born in the last decade that I’m aware of which they got, got a tablet first. Small sample size though

Even if they were to tell you it is likely to be bullshit, and the honest answers are pretty much limited to “someone else had more xp with what we wanted” or “we liked someone else’s vibe better”

I have a friend that asks and he’s been told “we didn’t think the c suite would like your mustache” and “your shirt was too colorful”

He should be cowering in his bunker

dont disrupt the 99%'s way of life.

This is ridiculous, because the problem inherently requires cooperative change, and as we’ve seen people will throw shitfits over things as small as plastic straws.

A big thing would be to start switching from ever expanding auto infrastructure to public transit systems where possible.

1. Fewer vehicles that transport more people
2. Can use the space that is currently occupied for parking cars better

Another big thing requires changing our diets. Some types of food are more resource intensive than others, but also we ship food all over the planet and the resources for transport also contributes. Eating food that is in season on your continent would make a big difference.

The last thing is maybe the least obvious to regular people, but maybe we don’t need to build that data center yet if we can’t power it without fossil fuel. We need to entirely stop expanding energy usage until we’ve switched over entirely to sustainables.

In summary, basically everything that needs to happen is going to affect regular people, and they’re going to have to get over it, or we’re going to make the planet completely unlivable.

Your point? Climate change has the potential to affect every living thing on the planet. Even the horrors of world war 2 didn’t have that kind of reach. Additionally, humans eventually have to stop fighting when enough of them are dead. Climate change is a threat that humanity can unleash but be potentially unable to stop. Like I said, a different kind of beast.

IMO climate change is kind of a different beast than hardships from the past.

The entire answer is “propaganda”

Same thing as when CEO salaries for publicly traded companies became public 📈

As a long time regular player of jrpgs, I was pretty skeptical of all the people I know that don’t play them talking up expedition 33, but yeah it is really that good.

It doesn’t matter how much more efficient we get. We already have the bandwidth to do everything we need to do but if gets vacuumed up into whatever rich people want it to. That will continue no matter how efficient we get unless society completely changes.

You’re wrong though. Things aren’t being prioritized in order of urgency. If they were, everyone in the planet would be focused on climate change. Instead, we have some places actively fighting it.

This is completely incorrect. We’re ignoring preventative medical care and other urgent stuff to make rich people rich because we have a stupid economic system where rich people decide what is important

Usually the reason we want people to stop calling LLMs AI is because there has been a giant marketing machine constructed designed to (and successfully) tricking laymen into believing that LLMs are adjacent to and one tiny breakthrough away from becoming AGI.

From another angle, your statement that AI is not a specific term is correct. Why, then, should we keep using it in common parlance when it just serves to confuse laymen? Let’s just use the more specific terms.

Like cool you feel that way about windows I guess but you’re spreading misinformation

The fact they keep trying harder and harder to make me switch off a local account is reason enough.

What makes you think the llm will be able to decipher something that already doesn’t make sense

Reacting emotionally to serial liars seems fair to me. Sam Altman can fuck off

I don’t see any reason to believe anything currently being done is a direct path to AGI. Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are straight up liars and the fact so many people lap up their shameless hype marketing is just sad.
