I’m not sure propaganda has ever been more intense and widespread than it is now with ubiquitous tech addiction

So I guess you can see why it’s so easy for them to buddy up

The far right isn’t a monolith and has lots of different subgroups like anything else

You havnt translated it yet

That’s the secondary use of the tool

If you’re not on the list you clearly lack connections and power and aren’t a good fit

Download your copies of Wikipedia before it’s too late

A few bug/glitches I noticed and performance improvements are always welcome (I don’t think running ai services and integrations will improve performance)

I once had a professor use an open curriculum for a specific thing only 1 publisher makes a book for

Like schools and professionals just buy the book for reference and it’s considered a standard field manual of sorts but there are a handful of essentially free/open compilations of the same material just not printed for sale

First time I had a professor actually tell us he was using a slightly inferior free resource to save us money and also because it’s essentially the same

Sometimes I had professors give us all readings for free including by scanning things themselves from the library and distributing paid journals they weren’t supposed to

Sometimes I had professors who wrote the textbook and demanded students buy the new edition every year for self enrichment

Sometimes I had professors who wrote the textbook but they’d tell us to buy the old ones cheap and then gave us free print outs of the newly added materials

Professors are a mixed bag

I used to email everyone in class a copy of all the books I’d get off libgen/anna’s

Knowledge is expensive

Stupidity is free

It shouldn’t be that way

I can appreciate what is good and bad about it yes

Many people seem to only think it’s bad and they are simply wrong

I can only imagine you’re the latter if you can’t grasp this nuance

I don’t consider myself a “proponent” of ai and I think it gives dependent and lazy people brain damage lol

But these people seem like complete contrarian Luddites who just want to insist it’s bad because they don’t like it and have seen too many negative memes about it

Tbh it’s not much different than search engines. You need to learn how to use them and when it’s appropriate to do so…it’s basically a skill issue 🤷‍♀️

Reminds me of when search engines first arrived and we were taught very early in school how library research works and then when to use digital academic databases vs regular search engines or just hit the books.

And yeah tech support is a great use case and you can just use the Gemini links that send you to the Reddit threads where the information came from to verify it.

I feel like if you’re minimally responsible it’s pretty hard to have AI backfire on you

Products and services have been dropping in quality well before ai slop

You overestimate the quality of acceptable work in many industries. AI and a little human editing and oversight is perfectly capable of producing legitimate work product.

The real problem is capitalism driving everything to shit and that really has nothing to do with ai influenced workflows

Kinda but also not entirely. I know a lot of people who use ChatGPT and other AIs at work and it does basically exactly what they want and just gets better

I’m not a proponent but the naysayer doomers are almost as wrong as the tech evangelists

Is it overvalued? Sure

Is it worthless? Absolutely not

I think we’re quite a long way off before they actually crash and burn, if they ever do. We have no idea how much money the ads will inject and they also receive significant government contracts and will probably get a lot more going forward

If the market can pretend Tesla is worth so much i think it can easily sustain AI for many years

lol they havnt even put the ads in yet

Serious question: why do I care about game Industry workers at AAA companies?

Should I care about the programmers at Apple Microsoft and Google too?

Should I feel bad that’s it’s harder to get a cushy corpo job?

It will take time but the fun will simply be over when he’s gone

It’s clearly evident the next generations are incapable of proper stewardship of basically every good thing invented previously
