This type of cheap humor doesn't really add much to the conversation. I presume you don't actually believe that to be true, and are just trying to bring up Facebook's entirely unrelated privacy issues (which have already been discussed on HN ad nauseam).
How about discussing interesting AI tooling and research instead?
- Retric 8y agoEhh, what I found funny as commentary on how far out of left field this is for Facebook. They want AI people to help them make money from advertising, so in effect they are doing this as advertising which actually does put it into their preview. From the right angle you can see it as one of those in soviet Russia jokes.
- whymauri 8y agoI thought it was pretty funny... it's ok to lighten up a bit.
- keerthiko 8y agoBeing funny is really not what people come to the hacker news comments for. While I appreciate a good chuckle as much as the next person, without more nuanced insight, or thought provoking perspective that I didn't see myself, or sharing relevant technical expertise, it's definitely wasting my time, and WILL get a downvote from me. I would be reddit for the snarky comments and to "lighten up a bit" on the same topic.
- wetpaws 8y agowhy so serious?
- ethanwillis 8y agoYea we come to the hacker news comments for the bikeshedding and west coast political bias!
- musage 8y agoThe interesting questions around "AI" have been brought up by people like Joseph Weizenbaum, and HN as aggregate seems unable to discuss them anyway. > Facebook's entirely unrelated privacy issues They're not unrelated, it's still Facebook. They want many things under that umbrella, then the price is that one bad apple is enough to spoil the whole damn bunch. It's the bed they made for themselves, don't blame the messengers.
- ethanwillis 8y agoThis type of comment doesn't really add much to the conversation. How about instead of presuming what someone means you respond to them as if they're being serious. We can definitely talk about the implications of AI like this on the current funding model of the internet. Or we could just all be annoying to each other.
