Föderation EN Sa 14.12.2024 05:45:08 The thing scifi missed about an AI takeover of humanity is that it would be done by the ruling class to save the money they'd otherwise have to pay humans for the work. All those machines-run-amok stories are always about AI implemented to accomplish wondrous things, that ended up slipping out of human control. If only. It was so rich people could impoverish and disenfranchise normal people even more, and the reason it wasn't halted before believable controls could be implemented is the wealthy weren't suffering the consequences. As sceptical as they were, the writers of classic scifi just didn't possess the cynicism to guess that part. |

Föderation EN Fr 13.12.2024 22:03:52 @Kevin right? What happens when you conflate a headline about the US president with one about Russia, and one about nuclear power plants 🫠 |

Föderation EN Fr 13.12.2024 21:59:31 @BenRiceM When I see people judge each other’s intelligence by how many mathematical questions & answers they can remember / recite / blag through, instead of CALCULATE, it makes me see that this level of skill is the only one they know. “How many zeroes in one million?” isn’t just something I see people guess with confidence on social media. It’s something I see in young children who haven’t been taught the value of working a problem, instead of hoarding answers. Truth via verification, not certification |
Föderation EN Fr 13.12.2024 22:47:08 @BenRiceM I do not understand why people want to use LLMs to summarise anything, be it emails, notifications, blog posts, whatever. If you didn't care about the notification enough to read it, disable it, and save yourself time. Unfortunately, it's the latest thing, so it will get forced upon everyone. It is those people not technically literate enough to understand what is happening, or to know how to disable it, who will suffer the most. |
