>but for some reason AI has become a real wedge for people
Well yeah, for most other technologies, the pitch isn't "We're training an increasingly powerful machine to do people's jobs! Every day it gets better at doing them! And as a bonus, it's trained on terabytes of data we scraped from books and the Internet, without your permission. What? What happens to your livelihood when it succeeds? That's not my department".

- fragmede 10mo agoThe iTunes music store sold music for your iPod, but we'd be ignoring history if we didn't at least acknowledge that was also the era of Napster, Limewire, Kazaa, and DCC. Pirate Bay, and later, Waffles.fm. Metallica sued Napster in 2000, the first ipod was released in 2001. iPod people laughed at the end of record companies and the RIAA while pretending to work with them. We all know that's not how it ended though.
