I feel the election that brought mcdonalds trump into power merely accelerated what was already the trajectory in this regard, but he did manage to shift the overton window so dramatically that people are willing to ignore the rise in fasci

Surely this is also satire? This administration is openly against science.

So I don't disagree that this is all a result of runaway capitalism. But also, and I know this is going to sound extremely anal retentive of me - but I wasn't born with an ability to create art - I learned. Then when I was doing t

It makes me sad, and to some extent offended, that so many people want to use AI to replace the human element in art. It dilutes what makes art impressive.

I don't think it is. Google in particular is just an advertising company. Youtube would not exist if it did not serve ads. And ultimately, while yes your examples are modern services that provide us convenience and entertainment, at

Look, I am also not convinced that modern society, or at least the economic aspects of it, are providing a net positive for the average consumer either. Saying advertising enabling these high-cost ventures being a good thing makes me immedi

I have been generally involved in the advertising industry for over 20 years, initially as my primary profession and now more on the side. But what I've seen in that time is that advertising provides absolutely zero positives to the co

I wasn't actually comparing it in terms of dollars for dollars between the projects, more the national security aspect and the probability of the government pulling whatever levers are necessary to keep it going.

by King-Aaron 3mo ago
State by state, but that was massively blown out of proportion by the media. You were never at risk for saying boo about the lockdowns on social media. But obviously if you tried to organise protests during lockdowns, that's a differen

I just made a similar comment further down the chain here, but I frankly think the dollars and cents economics around AI is a moot point. Like the pentagon, they'll just pull money out of thin air, or from other departments, or just wr

by King-Aaron 3mo ago
Look at how the pentagon is funded. Trillions get poured in with zero accountability, dark projects that never get disclosed at all, and audits that never pass. When it comes to military level stuff, it seems to exist outside of normal fina

These debts mean nothing if the US government actually views AI technology as being on par with the Manhattan project. They'll just bail them out or nationalise them.

I'm in Australia, so we have a pretty open approach to online speech unless you're being really, really awful. Like really awful. OR. You want to say something about US oil and gas companies, or Israel. Those two things will get y

What I'm about to say is going to sound very 'layman', and this is coming from someone who's been building UI's for like, 20 years. This discussion makes me both laugh and feel sad, because we all know this is bad

Here in Australia, you can be 2,000km in the bush and an ambulance will fly out to you and fly you back to the city for free. That being said, we also have private ambulance companies here that will sting you for a huge bill if you don&#x

AI gives the experience of competency to people who are deeply aware they are not competent. This is a hard thing to pry from someone's hands once they are holding it.

"left wing bigots" is a wild take. In fact, it's beyond the pale. Just so you know however, it is well established that we had a very large native population before European settlers arrived, and it's well established th

Yeah, we had every playstation since the original, and a vast library of games. Admittedly I ended up with a digital PS5 (gift), so I ended up in the digital ecosystem. This will hurry me up into buying a disc drive for it I suppose. I tend
