That’s Zitron for ya. To be fair to him, he’s kind of forced into this position: he’s now famous for championing a cause (AI is dumb and will never work and the scientists are lying) that is becoming increasingly untenable by the day.
- crote 2mo ago> AI is dumb and will never work and the scientists are lying I don't see him making that claim, though. Screwdrivers aren't useless. Screwdrivers have gotten a lot better over the decades. Everyone uses screwdrivers these days. Investing $500 billion into screwdrivers and expecting the screwdriver industry to grow to a double-digit percentage of GDP is still a really stupid idea. Let's face it: Universal Screwdriver[0] isn't going to happen. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Paperclips https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Paperclips
- ofjcihen 2mo agoYeah, again this is the typical response from those who would rather stick their heads in the sand than face the reality that the spending is untenable. They never refute his claims with anything substantial. They just call you “anti ai” or whatever (despite the argument having nothing to do with the technology, just a subset of companies).
- ragall 2mo agoOn the contrary, he's more obviously right every day passing.
