First, why do AI creators want to steal art that isn't valuable? Why would they want to "pollute" their precious new creation with worthless art?
Second, if the right got its way and eliminated or reduced creative, educated people, they would start eating their own. We are defined by our enemies. I think the right/conservatives can't exist without their enemies because their "raison d'etre" is to battle with those around them.
Well, I totally missed that boat. I'm a Democrat, who worked as a waitress. Baby- sitter. My dad was leftist, too (Democrat), who was an auto-mechanic and an electrician. I worked on a farm for a bit. And still stayed a Democrat.
Guess I didn't know that made me part of the " elite" bunch. Just thought it made me a person who actually cares about our country and in equality.
We think we are better because we are. They know this and it galls them. I suppose no one will tell them that if human artists, thinkers, musicians, etc., no longer create then there will be nothing for AI to eat.
"Isn’t the ultimate goal of the progressive wing of the Democratic party to create a universal welfare state with lots of workers dependent on the state for survival? That way they’ll control the population and what it can say and do.
Of course, innovation and entrepreneurism will die."
Completely ignoring that some percentage of those workers currently dependent on the private sector for survival might use their new found free time to innovate and become entrepreneurs.
Of course what these far right oligarchs are really pissed about is the possibility that they might no longer be the ones to control worker's lives by keeping them helpless and dependent.
What’s wrong with letting people get paid for hardly working while machines do the job? If we get machines to do more and more of the work, and let billionaires keep all the money, we’ll have a lot of angry people with no money to spend. We should be lobbying for 20-hour weeks and lots of leisure time.
Today I asked AI to help me answer a question (how does a 3rd party electronic record keeper for a registered securities broker file an undertaking with the SEC, okay?) AI came up with the same non-helpful shit, over and over, regardless of how I phrased the question. Using old-fashioned, human methods, I found the answer. (There’s an SEC email address you send it to.) AI is still an untrustworthy tool, but I foresee a day when the SEC website is designed to accommodate AI queries. I will be fully retired by then.
Ta, Robyn. Someone who works upstairs in our office sent the slides for Tuesday's All Staff Town Hall (the actual town hall was on Zoom). As always, this included the link for the network's job postings. I periodically visit the network's job postings when I need a giggle. At what do I usually giggle? The low, low, low salaries for these (sometimes difficult) jobs. Yes, I work for a network that thinks $65,000/year is adequate compensation for a LMSW (licensed Master's, social work). In NYC, no less.
Today, however, I was not giggling at the ridiculous pay scale. I perused a few of the job descriptions. They all read as if they were created by (what passes for) AI. Gevalt!
Wait till he finds out that AI is stealing patented software and financial data. Soon hedge funds will be run by AI as will capital investment funds and rich financiers will be out of their lucrative jobs. Of course, AI will suck at that but his buddies will still be unemployed.
The Right was predicting decades ago, that classroom teachers would be replaced by distance learning communications. As a retied HS teacher, I can just imagine my 35 HS juniors politely sitting in the classroom taking notes and behaving themselves :)
the same AI that said to put glue on pizza?

Smh .

Wait, I thought Democrats were already the working class? And since when is Silicon valley liberal?
Are we at the eating themselves stage already?
I really hope thees people are passengers on the first rocket designed by the A1.
Byyye!

My idle hands can play with me anytime they want.

“It was executives at major corporations who, you know, don’t exactly tend to be liberal anti-capitalists.”
Liberalism is largely capitalism.
But capitalists are rarely liberal

The same people complain that the pandemic remote learning left an entire generation as stupid as MAGAs.
He thinks that *Texas* has "reliable and affordable energy"? I think we can ignore everything else based on that
Just what crossed my mind when I read that.
There logic is flawed- if you take all the jobs away, how can you expect people to “work”?
The we can only have so many Tradesmen and You Tube Celebrities after all..
