Really? Feels like nothing much is happening lately.
- vouaobrasil 2y agoProgress comes in spurts. Due to the negative reactions to AI by some (artists), the system wants it to appear that nothing is happening so that the next wave of AI can be created in relative peace, at which time it will be too late to stop it. We have been conditioned to only react to hype and "news", rather than analyze reality and see the danger.
- thejohnconway 2y agoWhich “system”?
- vouaobrasil 2y agoThe global capitalist system, or the emergent behaviour that comes out of a mass of humanity addicted to technological development through wealth accumulation.
- thejohnconway 2y agoSuch a system can't want anything.
- vouaobrasil 2y agoIt's a term I use for emergent behaviour. And some philosophers of technology would disagree with you, such as the panpsychists. We are just a bag of cells and yet we speak of "wanting" things even though we might just be deterministic bags of blood.
- newswasboring 2y agoWhat are you talking about? ChatGPT-3 came out less than 4 years ago. Stable diffusion's first version around that too. In less than 4 years we went from nothing to making janky but believable video clips. This is not fast enough for you?
- ed_mercer 2y agoI’m just saying that compared to only a few months ago, everything seems to have stagnated. There used to be a lot more news and things getting released left and right.
