Lol this article is very relevant to a lot of scam industries (essential oils, Earthing, 5G protection crystals, etc), but AI is objectively not one of them.
Regardless of how much of a bubble we're in, regardless of how many bad ideas are being pushed to get VC funding or pump a stock, regardless of how unethical or distopian the tech is, AI objectively has value. It's proving to be the most disruptive tech since the world wide web (which famously had a very similar bubble of bad ideas), so to call it "magic beans" is just wishful thinking at best.
Earthing? How is that a scam?
I know for sure that bad earthing in my current residence has been creating significant problems for with appliances.
Sometimes my UPS giving errors, which also, might be due to bad earthing.
Hah, see that's what I thought when various family members asked if I had heard about it. Turns out, if our electronics need grounding, so must our bodies...
Hey! Are you up to talking about your opinions on the value of current AI technology? I'm personally opposed due to how our society has chosen to organize itself, but I think the basic concept is interesting.
Agreed. I've been following the technology of neural networks and generative AI since before LLMs were the new hotness and it's fascinating and powerful stuff.
My qualms with what's happening now are more about how we organize our economy and society. Rushing them to market, aggressively trying to cull workers, etc. are critiques of capitalism not AI. In a different world we would all be excited about the prospect of having to work less and reap the benefits of AI, but we wouldn't be reopening coal plants and leaving people to starve on the street.
Well… I thought it was relevant and humorous, and the rules don’t say the submissions have to be news. I might be stretching the definition of “discussions” but, figured it was worth a try :-)
