I also stop going to these places, and also not out of any deep principle, it just isn't something I want to waste my life doing, I'll go somewhere i can just ask for what i want to order.

I think people are too quick to dismiss the possibility that some technologies are just bad and harmful and we can't shrug off responsibility and say I'm just making a neutral technology and the people using it are the ones causing harm.

Full is literally the first word in the feature.

That's what I thought too, then I bought a pair of Eddie Bauer (in the article) shoes from them and they completely fell apart in one day.

There aren't a million better places to put efforts into. This is a good place to put effort into stopping because it isn't yet entrenched, and you stop the other negative effects besides just the pollution and water use, and you can build a coalition with the people against the other negative effects of AI.

>This is a good place to put effort into stopping because it isn't yet entrenched

Oh yeah, excellent place to put effort, it's not entrenched, it's just straight up against technological giants in a race that is considered relevant for national security. That should be easy yeah, outstanding target to set.

>and you stop the other negative effects besides just the pollution and water use, and you can build a coalition with the people against the other negative effects of AI.

I'll just repeat myself here:

>Because this whole thing has absolutely nothing to do with pollution or water. It has to do with people hating AI and looking to portray it negatively.


You are a deeply unserious person :'D

You are insinuating that a fight against tech giants is the preferable option regarding pollution and I'm unserious??

The effects of the tech giants encroachment of society and the stakes and gravity of the situation is so serious that some people think its important not to allow attempts to frame the struggle as Sisyphean to succeed.

>The effects of the tech giants encroachment of society and the stakes and gravity of the situation is so serious

Regarding pollution??? Completely preposterous.


Ask Jack Ma.

Are there inflation markers included?

That business is currently worth a lot of money, but why? Its not making a lot of money.


Businesses are valued on their ability to make money in the future.


I never knew about the solitaire game but growing up in America, starting in childhood it seemed everyone "knew" (or thought they knew and spread rumors) why certain people were missing fingers.


AI language models are trained on vast amounts of text created by scientists, writers, thinkers, entertainers and more. Those human contributions, Lanier says, should not be erased from the output of language models. That erasure is what gives people a perception of AI as “this new super alien angel who's going to come and save us or kill us” rather than what it really is or could be: “a new, very high-level, very large-scale form of cooperation [that] is even more glorious than having a big alien angel. I think it's really cool.”

...

“It’s essentially doing statistics on word order and distance in a big amount of data, and then using that to create a new thing a that's informed by it,” Lanier said. “Isn't it surprising that natural language can support this rather simple thing and get this result? Shouldn't we be thinking to ourselves, ‘Wow, there's kind of more going on with natural language than we realize?’”
