If the AI does it for you, you need to still learn what to do. What is the "it" that AI does for you? This is assuming you know how to get good work out of AI in the first place. But even that is turning out to be a skill in and o

What an incredible shallow reading of "capitalism". Capitalism doesn't "assign value" to anything. It can't assign value to anything. The value of something is determined only by a transaction. It's not as

Listening is no longer profitable. Artists cannot sell listening. What they can sell are live performances. Digital music just becomes marketing for live performances.

Your entire point stands on being dismissive of an entire emerging industry. An emerging industry that has the fastest adoption rates, the fastest growth rate, and where millions of people using it on a daily basis. YOU need to provide the

The pushback against "slopification" is an ad hoc justification that is nebulous and vague enough for people to use to feel superior about their opinions and ideas, but has no genuine grounding. But even if we consider the slopifi

If they weren't producing things that are indistinguishable from human produced products people wouldn't be against them.

It's fun to see the false idea that intelligence and thinking are what make humans human begin to collapse in real time. It's one of those structural pillars of human identity invented by some philosophers too lost in their own gr

>It is, was, and always will be, about the fair distribution of returns from productivity gains. I think we can agree with this. The system that determines the fair distribution of productivity gains today will have to change entirely.

"were usually violent hate speech" Did we forget "Vote blue no matter who"??? It was often as mundane as disagreeing with ANY democrat politician/their policies. Sometimes it wasn't even a right-wing voice, but

This is absolutely the ideal. We need more people talking about a post-labor future. It's fast approaching, and the sooner it gets here the sooner the masses turn to a Butlerian Jihad.

Industrial loom cloth is far inferior to artisan made cloth. And yet you'd be dooming all future generations to poverty if you stuck with artisanal cloth production.

Sure. But what's the solution? Ban AI development?

by lacy_tinpot 7mo ago
Sure. It's the market that's irrational, not the people here. The people here are the truly enlightened rational ones and know what the true value of things are.

In order to be incredulous at xAI, you'd have to be incredulous of the AI business in general, which is fair. But then you'd also be basically betting against the entire tech sector, and really the entire US economy and against th

It's truly incredible how difficult business people make doing business. Doing business is very simple, easy, and straightforward, but I suspect in a lot of cases the individual behavioral aspects of the executives get in the way of do

Who's actually coding? You're never really wrestling the computer. You're typically wrestling with the design choices and technological debt of decisions that were in hindsight bad ones. And it's always in hindsight, at

I don't think there is anything that can be said to actually change people's minds here. Because people that are against it aren't interested in actually engaging with this new technology. People that are interest in it and a

It is descriptive. The attack against AI is quite literally "vicious".

Did you even click the link. It's a rant I would get banned for repeating it here. Actually even the title here says "nuclear". So yes. Vicious. Your problem is actually with my point, which you didn't address, not reall

Are people still in denial about the daily usage of AI? It's interesting people from the old technological sphere viciously revolt against the emerging new thing. Actually I think this is the clearest indication of a new technology eme

It's not our aspirations that we've lost. It's the entrenchment of a particular kind of parasitic elite. The logic that made them into "elites" has turned in on itself and is now self-cannibalizing. The saving grace

Their name is Anthropic. Their entire schtick is a weird humanization of AIs. MCP/Tool use, Skills, and I'm sure others that I can't think of. This is might be because of some core direction that is more coherent than other l

No. UPI. It's an initiative by the Indian government. It's controlled by the RBI, just through a complex public-private corporate structure through NPCI. UPI is much larger and more international than PIX. It's currently proc

Isn't one of the largest payment processors in the world made by the Indian Government? Personally I wouldn't risk my personal digital privacy on the incompetence of the government. I'd assume the opposite.
