The bombing has already started, and you think there'll be mid-terms?

the good news for the eager history fan is that the 'posthumanist' tech geeks are ushering in a world in which precisely those white-collar professional suburbanites are going be hurt the most.
Is there any good news for the rest of us?

This Iran War might be the straw that breaks the AI bubble. The energy cost of these things was already backbreaking.

AI is not going to make the money to give a return on investment.

Bizarrely I did a short course at uni and the lecturer plugged AI non-stop.

for some bizarre reason, chatgpt is still unlimited use on the daily. i could probably have a network of phones spamming nonsensical prompts at it all hours of the day without even an account! meanwhile, other services tack on prompt limits even for paying users.

it's nice to imagine we'll get affordable pc parts back, but failing ai won't hurt just the ai people.

Got a 7900XTX recently, its great for gaming and almost criminally underrated for local AI.

i once said that ai can be a valuable tool as an information aggregator.

apparently not if it's about israel. two flags in a row for looking up a fact check and source on a us politician's quote about us-israel relations (paraphrase or direct). feeeels a little overtuned if you ask me. i don't think it would have triggered if i asked about a quote on us-brazil relations. chatgpt: "it's not me, it's my independent moderation system!" ok bud.

old news, anyway. widely available anecdotes on its reluctance to engage in hot-button issues.

-

e: it's been posted before about how tech companies want all the money and power and influence but none of the civil responsibility.

it's interesting how your location can change the tone and content of responses. this has been reported on. is the ai being a social chameleon, or is it an act of manipulation? should play around with this and a vpn!
