@OrdinaryGoose@hecubian_devil Works good for what? That's the operative question.
AI may be at the level of a polymath genius in certain areas while remaining useless in other areas.
On what basis do you claim people are "lying" when they say AI works for their purposes?
@ArunAnnow I know you're not talking about math specifically, but this is my work on a number theory conjecture I invented.
Nobody on r/numbertheory objected to the findings. When I say "AI works," it means "AI works for the problems I'm interested in."

@ArunAnnow I don't code much, but as a citizen scientist I can get pretty decent results from these systems.
Other software engineers report everything from "one-shotting codebases" to "a few bugs but nothing atrocious." You have to give us a reason to trust your opinion over theirs.
@hecubian_devil Do you trust people who want to ban waymos to lead the charge? Do the yudkowsky types seem politically serious to you?
I don't see a way toward a viable coalition unless we center banning autonomous ai weapons and ai surveillance. The copyright people don't talk about this
@hecubian_devil I'm not saying this will happen with AI, but the precedent set by the "environmentalists" against nuclear power comes to mind.
People who meant well made things worse.
We need to be specific and say "Palantir needs to be criminally tried for genocide" instead of "regulate AI"
@stanimorph@BroccuChan64 I just don't understand why "ai can be used for both good and bad" is so controversial.
You can argue the risks outweigh the benefits or whatever, but it's infeasible to sit every denier down and "educate" them. You need a better information diet.
@OrdinaryGoose Sometimes I wonder how we're losing to right wing morons and then I see some shit like this and think "go figure."
The nu-luddites cancelled hank green in a country that gets its health advice from RFK Jr. You people can't be allowed to touch anything from now on
@LC105NT@LeftistBlinkfan@TonyPajama Unfortunately, the stakes are higher than a couple people can manage
Your continent isn't very important, but if a global war breaks out because of the US it will affect you too.
We now have to be as uncompromising as possible because of cattle like you.
@LC105NT@TonyPajama I've almost been murdered before by homeless people. I've also almost been murdered before by people with homes
I have a five-year plan for eliminating homelessness in the US. It just involves reallocating police budgets and creating a jobs program.
@LC105NT@TonyPajama "if you're dumb, you'll stay poor"
Ok then if you're dumb you'll get stabbed a homeless man. Your drivel about self-reliance won't save you
@LC105NT@TonyPajama You lack second-order reasoning skills. The same wealth inequality that makes people snap at the vending machine is the wealth inequality that you are defending.
We just found out that, for thousands of young people, the most scandalous thing they can think of is using ai.
One of those nights i guess. We'll never get these people to care about anything important. Why should I bother?
