Poll: Are you for AI or against AI?
Are you for AI or against AI?
- uejfiweun 8mo agoI'm for AI the technology. Who doesn't want cool sci-fi future tech? But I'm against AI being co-opted by our dear leaders to end white collar work and lock us all in a permanent underclass.
- andrewstuart 8mo agoI’m for AI in a big way, but I’m against the future in which your ability to program a computer is only with the permission of the AI companies. Lose your account, lose your ability to program.
- aurareturn 8mo agoLocal models?
- andrewstuart 8mo agoThese will be made by the same companies won’t they? And once they’re valuable they won’t be giving them away any more will they?
- akagusu 8mo agoThis outcome was predictable and expected, but people opted to pretend it didn't exist. Now we will all face brutal consequences.
- fixedprog 8mo agoI like to use AI for research and learning about new topics, and for occasional code snippets. I'm not completely sold on the "agent" thing yet, although I do admit they can be pretty fun to use.
- rzzzwilson 8mo agoWhat do you mean by "AI"? The LLM stuff we have now or real AI, ie, HAL 9000?
- andrewstuart 8mo agoHAL 9000 obviously. It’s all people are talking about.
- rzzzwilson 8mo agoWell then, rerun the poll when we are anywhere even close to attaining that. It's still all hypothetical.
- stephenr 8mo agoI'm against people continually referring to spicy autocomplete (aka LLMs) "AI". You people do know that the I in AI stands for "Intelligence" right?
- defrost 8mo agoOnly recently. I'm a traditionalist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaOlhYFBO9g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaOlhYFBO9g
- stephenr 8mo agoI believe even impregnation by bogan is still considered "natural".
- defrost 8mo agoFair comeback, but there's still enough Artificial Insemination going on to make a hill sized lube slide with the leftover. Disturbingly, a good number that attend a B&S Inseminators ball are off the traditional bogan scale (even allowing for cashed up bogans) .. arriving in limousines (albeit some rented) or private aircraft after graduating from some elite private school or another. Traditionally it's a multiday paddock bash that begins with tuxedos and ballgowns, and morphs through food dye, lube, straw, burning cars, and a lot of not rated for televison behaviour to end in chaos. All so asset rich multi millionaire nepo babies can swap keys and combine harvesters and pass on the thousand+ acre farm to another generation.
- stephenr 8mo agoI'm not really interested in a summary of The debauched lives of Bogans without Shame vol 254. Regardless, I'm pretty sure OP wasn't referring to any kind of Insemination when they asked about AI.
- defrost 8mo agoNone the less it was yourself that asserted the I in AI stood for intelligence when clearly the AI Acronym has alernative priors. > I'm not really interested in a summary of The debauched lives of Bogans That seems a bit judgemental there; bogan - "an uncouth or unsophisticated person regarded as being of low social status" seems at odds with events often attended by millionaires and billionaires with multiple degrees and on the honour roles at snotty schools of high standing.
- tliltocatl 8mo agoI'm very pro-AI and i think LLMs are an important technical step in achieving it (even if in the end it might turn out that LLMs helped achieve AI by showing how not to do it). But they suffer from premature commercialization. I'm very much against trying to sell them as the ultimate solution to everything. And another issue, not related to the technical aspect, is that business practices of certain self-styled "AI companies" calls for guillotining of their upper management.
