That's why I organized my protest on mastodon. No one showed up but my subscribers told me how awesome it was that I organized it.

Maybe 2 more years until we socialize the losses of the AI buildout? Better make sure your company has public buy in when that happens, don't want to be Bear Sterns.

That group will have it's own llama agent to read all those links and tell the members the exact answers to their question so they don't have to leave the safe zone of facebook and go off into the scary internet.

It doesn't have what people want (an audience)

Yeah they don't want to destroy everything, they want to own everything, and shrink the costs of ownership by any means necessary. Labor costs are one of the more untolerable aspects of ownership of entire industries.

New comment by fullshark in "Most data centers refusing to say how much water, electricity they use"

Most of it comes from concerns about water and electricity rates sky rocketing and also simply not being available when humans need it. At least at the local level.

I remember these debates about the Fred Astaire dirt devil advertisement which was over 25 years ago now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR3JzxlcKBs.

At the end of the day I think if people find the use of AI charming/effective to resurrect dead celebrities they will go along with it. This sounds like a horrible tv show/use case but by and large audiences just want to be entertained and will accept "ghoulish" resurrections if it is entertaining. Darth Vader's voice will be around for quite a bit longer for example.

Serves them right, it was obvious BS, likely cause the return on investment for frontier training is not there anymore. They didn't think through the implications of the "We're responsible stewards now" PR.

I believe a temperance movement is on the horizon. The fact that we've turned smartphones into vice dispensers (and surveillance devices but that's another topic) is one of the greatest failures of western society.

Maybe they learned from their blunder with the ID Buzz. At this point though I simply don't trust any legacy automaker when it comes to producing and supporting EVs for their lifetime.

Technology is more feasible than politically driven "degrowth" or any of the other proposals.

It's made of incentives that promote low calorie information and outright falsehoods.

This article was terrible, one data point contradicting the headline, then 4 quotes devoid of meaning.

Not useful as soldiers even, and that includes those on the enemy side.

"The Internet is over" - Prince in 2010.

A quote that we all laughed at but I think he maybe was right.
