“This shit ain’t nothing to me, man.”
Over my dead body.
Also, this is laughable:
We’re on the cusp of the next major transition, the merger of humans and AI.
These guys don’t even have true AI yet, just a text predictor on steroids that frequently hallucinates and gets things wrong.
The cope is really deep in the tech sector. Way too many imbeciles who think they’re geniuses and too much VC to throw around.
Always been this way, no? Sometimes, though, the imbeciles hire very competent people
It’s much worse now. Some of these people actually did impressive things earlier in the 21st century. Now they’re 90% grifters
Well, yes, but there was also a lot of bullshit that we simply dont remember because it disappeared after the great purge that was the internet bubble pop
It’s always been 90% grifters. Survivorship bias
AI is incredible if you ask it about stuff you’re not an expert on. Once you ask it those things you already have expert level knowledge on, especially nuanced questions, you’ll start to see the issues. It won’t be every question it gets wrong, but it’s often enough to be an issue.
In other words, it’s all an illusion. It’s a ruse to get us to feed it our thoughts, so it can summarize our files and our queries, and it can feed us the responses it is told to feed us.
We already know it can do that since they’re placing fucking ads in it.
It’s because they’re in so much debt they need to run forward to outrun it by… Getting into even more debt on the basis that this time it will payoff
I can guarantee you these tech bros take it seriously. Because they don’t have to pay taxes and have boat loads of money it means they are quite serious.
High on their own supply. Common human weakness, fuck I wish it weren’t.
AI CEO D. Scott Phoenix laid out a vision of a world in which the chipped enjoy so many advantages of the unchipped that you’ll be forced to comply.
I won’t even verify my age online. He can shove my advantageous chip right up his ass.
I’m glad I learned that excessive convenience is a bad thing before this became the norm.
forced to comply.
The language I’d expect from a villain in some fiction aimed at teenagers, not from a real person. This is so bizarre, and the amount of people ok with ceos saying those things is disturbing
I’m not ok with this. He is KoS unironically.
Doesn’t matter… we all know you’re a 47 year old used car salesman from Peoria.
LOL!
Sounds like someone who has never lived off the land. If anything like this happens you can guarantee there will be communes of people without this like the amish but not so weird.
No, I don’t think I will
I won’t even get contact lenses, I ain’t letting them putting a chip in my brain.
Another tech headline, another thing that would have sounded pretty cool 20-30 years ago but today sounds like an absolute nightmare to stay FAR away from. And this one more than most!
Just like we all ran out and bought 3D TVs. Right? And Meta smart glasses. Any day now!
The smart glasses are selling really well tho. Creeps and people wanting to record everything I guess
Not if we 1- Forcefully remove 2- Smash to bits every smart glass we see.
I was unironicaly planning to secretly record my workspace to be able to do my job better, by analyzing my mistakes in the video, and ripping off other’s techniques.
Was too poor, director’s grandson beat me to it…
But imagine being able to use shaders to change your perception. Like “I’m going with the Virtual Boy this morning!”
But 3D TV’s were actually good.
Can’t wait for adverts for the ass blaster 9000® to be beamed directly into my frontal lobe without my consent.
If they can blast in the ads, the need for physical toys pretty much goes away…
Sorry chooms, I won’t be chippin’ in.
knows you’ll give in eventually
No, I bloody will not.
Yeah, I resisted mobile phones until about 1999, and didn’t get a “smartphone” until 2014. I was quite the Luddite.
I still don’t play mobile games. I thought it was going to be a great opportunity but all the games sucked and I didn’t like the interface.
I run hot and cold… I liked the BTD series for a while - it has a good phone interface IMO as well as “easy to multitask” play, unlike something like StarCraft that sucks you in and demands 110% of your attention. However, I haven’t played it in years, I was just tempted to reload it tonight, and I did, and… it just doesn’t do anything for me anymore.
If by “for a while” you mean “until I’m dead” . . then yea, sure. Any other definition . . no chance in hell.
“You’ll eventually give in” Tells you everything you need to know about the power of large tech companies in the US .
We have the money and the power to force this technology in to the mainstream. Tech companies know that Congress is way too old, way too corrupt, and way too slow to really do anything about regulating stuff like this in a reasonable time frame. They have no real barriers and the heads of these companies don’t give a shit about the user as long as they pay their monthly subscription.
Let me put a chip in my brain that will run software developed by the lowest paid intern using claude 7. I dont trust big corp to update my phone and car, there is zero chance i trust them with my brain.
These people need to be stopped. Seriously.
I literally prefer human extinction.
100% verified.
I’m reminded of the guy I saw who couldn’t get out of the courthouse parking garage because he didn’t have a smartphone to pay for the parking.
I’d still rather break a gate than get an implant.
