There once was a dream of the semantic web, also known as web2. The semantic web could have enabled easy to ingest information of webpages, removing soo much of the computation required to get the information. Thus preventing much of the AI crawling cpu overhead.

What we got as web2 instead was social media. Destroying facts and making people depressed at a newer before seen rate.

Web3 was about enabling us to securely transfer value between people digitally and without middlemen.

What crypto gave us was fraud, expensive jpgs and scams. The term web is now even so eroded that it has lost much of its meaning. The information age gave way for the misinformation age, where everything is fake.

The funny part is that all the commenters up till now failed to leave the room :D

I wish this was the goal, instead of large corpos doing large corpos things

Eh, just make shit up. Works for the world elite

You could also go the other way, if you are smart incapable of being efficient at me menial labour. You will go hungry, until such a time you are hungry enough to do the menial labour for very cheap.

Turning us into two distinctly separate classes, low educated low intelligence, and high intelligence, highly educated elites controlling swarms of smart AI

I admire your positivity. I do not share it though, because from what I have seen, because even if there are open weights, the one with the biggest datacenter will in the future hold the most intelligent and performance model.

Very similar to how even if storage space is very cheap today, large companies are holding all the data anyway.

AI will go the same way, and thus the megacorps will and in some extent already are owning not only our data, but our thoughts and the ability to modify them.

I mean, sponsored prompt injection is just the first thought modifying thing, imagine Google search sponsored hits, but instead it’s a hyperconvincing AI response that subtly nudges you to a certain brand or way of thinking.

Absolutely terrifies me, especially with all the research Meta has done on how to manipulate people’s mood and behaviour through which social media posts they are presented with

I’ll just ask chatgpt to do the research and vote for me

Yeah because if everyone is extremely cheap labour everyone will prosper? :)

The “if” is working overtime in your statement

But oh so lucrative, and with a catchy phrase…

I see moneybags in this idea, wonder who will first make it a reality…

And you are self-sufficient, or whatever the word is. But that’s the key thing for me, not having to rely on others for my services :)

Dude above you over is under the perception that it requires 100% uptime or other users to to be classified, which is wrong. You are definitely self hosting, albeit only for yourself I assume. Which is fine

So if the AI generated summaries are better than man made summaries, this would not be an issue would it?

Lol, the source data for all AI is starting to use AI to summarize.

Have you ever tried to zip a zipfile?

But then on the other hand, as compilers become better, they become more efficient at compiling their own source code…

Whatever you think about drugs and their legality doesn’t really matter when you look at how the legal system is applied here. As previous poster stated, this just shows that the legal system is broken as hell and only applies when used to control the common person.

Shits fucked up in the land of the free for sure.

Easy, it’s actually hard enough to join Lemmy in comparison to the other sites, that I don’t believe the masses will ever flood here.

That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, althought I still have to follow my favourite projects on discord and reddit . Since they are publishing for the masses

If I care about my account, it would suck. Can’t migrate unless server allows me to

Yeah, but this only works because we are so few still, when the masses floods in anywhere, everything turns to shit. Because of greed

Everybody should slam that, not only experts

The bad thing about those kind of shows, is that while most people see that as a warning, and something to avoid.

Some people immediately start charting a path to how to make it a reality, and sometimes those people are very very smart and can chart a path that might take decades.

I say this while on the toilet, writing on a device that has cameras both front and back, always on microphones and location sensors, and facial recognition and 3D scanning equipment.

When the personalized condom ads start popping up, I will only be slightly annoyed.
