Remember this next time you have cancer and get fired, and then have the option to “voluntarily” sign something to keep receiving money until hopefully you’re well enough to look for a new job.

Who are you to decide what matters and what doesn’t? If you were a journalist reporting on russia or the UAE it would certainly matter. Not to mention that it’s not that hard to imagine an AI tool being paired with 24/7 surveillance th

State hacking tech leaks to average hackers and scammers over time. Scammers today are using nation state tech from a decade ago.

Does your grandma decide her own “security posture”? Does she even know what that means?

If you ever think about getting into an online argument with these people, let the fact that pointing out that not white people are americans gets you downvoted stop you.

What do you think happens when all the “developing” nations develop and refuse to get paid peanuts to make your phones?

How can you be so sure that you’re evaluating ideas fairly? How can you be so sure you’re not biased? What if you have an intrinsic bias that you’re unaware of shaping every single decision you make? What if that bias was instilled into you

You claiming that you “don’t have ideology” is exactly what I’m referring to. Yes you do. Everyone does, and every argument has an ideology behind it. If you can’t see it, that just means you’re so used to it you’re blind to it, like a fish
222.
by amrocha 1y ago
The fish is blind to the ocean. All of your arguments are soaked in the ideology of economic primacy. From where I stand, it seems like you’re the one that refuses to understand the argument that doesn’t agree with your ideology. And to be

That’s why it’s called an empire, it needs vassal states

I’m not confusing anything, I just disagree with you. It’s not an economic argument, it’s an ideological one. Public goods should serve the public. No amount of money can change that.

The privatization of the public good is the problem, regardless of how ecological or economical you rig your economy to make it look.

Engineers are not uniquely immune to this phenomenon. Just look at all the commenters in this board claiming AI makes them 20x more effective.

It’s a very small difference. People would rather line up for the elevator than take the stairs. That’s just human nature.

And it’s such a shit experience that netflix and podcasts destroyed those industries just by offering the same product without ads

You’re not wrong, but I hope a robot spewing personalized ads at you while acting like a friend will be too unsettling for most people to tolerate
231.
by amrocha 1y ago
Sure, I’m not saying there’s no way of doing it, but a chat interface is deeply personal and not a space that ads have invaded quite just yet. If they want to show ad banners that’s one thing, but targeted diegetic ads are where the real mo

Well yeah, but if it doesn’t disclose that it’s sponsored content that’s illegal.

Literally nobody would talk to a robot that spits back ads at them

The point is that if they’re not profitable they won’t be relevant since they’re so expensive to run. And there was never any question as to how social media would make money, everyone knew it would be ads. LLMs can’t do ads without comprom

idk friend, it seems kind of presumptuous to demand other people’s time like this. It’s pretty evident that the people building grok are injecting their ideology into it. I don’t need more evidence, and I don’t need you to agree with me. Go

Not to say there aren’t problems with ChatGPT, but it generally steers clear of controversial subjects unless coaxed into it. Grok actively leans into racism and nazism.
239.
by amrocha 1y ago
Avoiding sensitive subjects is not the same thing as endorsing racist views if that’s what you’re implying.

by amrocha 1y ago
Right, it’s just been talking about white genocide and generating nazi images instead.
