Meanwhile I've never run into anyone who actually likes AI in any form (except for my boss). Most people who dislike it aren't bringing it up at random. I'm sure it has to do with the circles you interact with and their demog

You've got the captcha issue as well? Seems like it's happening constantly now. I suspect Apple Private Relay has something to do with it, but I'm not sure.

Condescending responses like these are only reinforcing the original point. People don't want data centers because they don't want AI forced on them. > Let's not pretend it's a reasonable or respectable reaction to se

Very well thought out argument, I'm sure spamming it some more will really convince people. You're telling me people aren't affected by AI in any way whatsoever? That's a very bold and obviously untrue claim. No wonder p

Can you be more specific? There has been opposition against most things. AI is also the new thing currently being forced on basically every person and upending society. It shouldn't be surprising it's on the forefront of people&#x

Maybe the issue is the "reassurance" is identical to propaganda and manipulation. It definitely doesn't help that the companies having to "reassure" people have aligned themselves with so many others that have been

Maybe not, but the people near them sure are. And the majority of people are definitely impacted by the downstream effects.

You'll need to compare how many job postings there are as well to get the full picture, especially for junior roles. That's one of the most contentious effects and has an outsized impact on society.

It does seem most of the pro-AI people aren't actually affected by any of the negative aspects of it. It's a lot easier to be in favor of something that doesn't actually affect you or anyone you care about.

What exactly do you see as a "negative portrayal"? And disagreeing with the supposed "negative portrayal" or disapproving/approving of the actions of one does not make an article biased.

Have you considered the differences are because those are different people who have done much different things? I don't see a strong slant either way in these articles.

Seems like you should have a justification for introducing a new tool instead, no? There are thousands of other tools they're also not using, but we're not asking about those.

I wonder if we'll eventually see a backlash as population growth continues slowing. In a society composed largely of old people being supported financially (and otherwise) by the younger people, it would be very possible for the younge

I honestly can't tell if this is satire or not. If so, great job. If not - destroying the world so you can look up a lightbulb is not worth it, and you could have done that before anyway.

Anti-Palantir propaganda? You don't need any propaganda when Palantir's actions speak for themselves. > ICE and Palantir: US agents using health data to hunt “illegal immigrants” https://www.bmj.com/content&#x2F

Anything critical of Palantir or mass surveillance in general tends to get auto flagged / downvoted very quickly. It's a bit ironic for a site calling itself Hacker News, but it's also very fitting and not surprising that a t

Are you willing to join in the suffering in the meantime? That's what everyone saying "it'll get better in the long run!" seems to ignore.

It is absolutely disconnected from reality. An old billionaire does not in any way understand what new graduates are feeling and fearing about AI and its impact on the world. He has not existed or lived like any normal person does for decad

It sure is heading towards being garbage, though. Search is actively being degraded in favor of a barely functioning AI, and I'm sure it's not going to stop there. Seems like it was inevitable once ad/finance people got ahold

Meta lost the ability to claim they're not political when they donated to Trump, one of those child abusers you're talking about. They seem to have no problem taking a political stance when it benefits them.
