Obsolete software developer, prairie socialist, general riffraff.

Proud Canadian living on the unceded traditional territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. He/him.
The rest of us begged you Americans to not let the Bush people get away with Iraq.

Now you're moments away from inflicting the same unimaginable horrors on the people of Venezuela.

Are sternly-worded letters from Democracts the best we can expect after watching another million melted children?

Mostly about their intelligence levels and sexualities...

Doesn't help a ton when the trillions go directly into the bank accounts of Trump and his allies.

Ahhh, fuck.

What's the word? Poetic?

Perhaps we'd still have a chance of tackling problems like this if the corporate media hadn't taught half the population that science is debatable, actually.

There's still an FDA?

It's the decision making people that are ruining things with "AI", not the tech itself. As shitty and over-rated as it is

Skynet is not going to get sentient. "AI" is going to kill us all because some failson who posts as "BigBalls1488" is going to put a chatbot in charge of global wheat production

If most end users knew how much of it is stealing from artists, I think they would use it even less. I attempted poorly to articulate that at least it does those two things in some capacity... as opposed to say proving search results, where it will just tell you to eat rocks or whatever.

As I mentioned elsewhere I didn't mean that AI is a good thing, and/or that the video creation aspect of it is anything but shitty and criminal theft from artists.

I meant that those two aspects of it (cheating on papers and using it for videos) are things many end users currently like using it for

Sounds like you weren't replaced, more that whoever made those decisions wrongly believed you COULD BE replaced by the plagiarism chatbot. I would wager that whatever they're producing now sucks. I know that doesn't help you short term!

That sucks. Personally I think it should all be shot into the sun (along with most of the people pushing it... with the exception of my personal corporate overlords of course, they're fine).

That sucks bud.
