No. YouTube and DIY maker subs/clubs/communities are more responsible for the current skill levels.

DarkReader is the most common add on for this, NightOwl is not monitored by Mozilla for security concerns, so what makes NightOwl more privacy oriented?

People ratting out weed dealers? I care not for them.

Apparently they’ve spent 10 trillion in commitments that soan to 2032… And have to get AI earning to 3 trillion a year to avoid a crash.

…and there’s 8 billion people on earth. So I assume they’re hoping for some lucrative corporate/government contracts and bailouts.

What’s the suggestion, that people should want to put their passion and effort into finding a new boss and set of restrictions on their time just to afford rent/food?

Face it, society is a bad deal. Sure it’s better than nothing or a poorer country. But people shouldn’t have to be stoked or going through burnout just to find a job.

AI job applications are an inevitable time saver for the poor and overwhelmed.

I touch computers every day - with my hands! Anyone else want to admit to it?

By the way, this also means if you could download a mind to a computer - it would slowly lose it’s humanity as it lived longer and longer interfacing with computer systems rather than human systems/organs/experiencs.

Eventually that “uploaded human” would become a Clankr, and stop understanding human life, the will to survive/think. Eventually it would just compute (not think/care or have flaws).

Many sci-fi stories are based on the man-to-technology-to-cold-rational-evil pipeline… Less have gone in the other direction, even though it often produces very popular characters: Spock, Data, the Terminator, Pinnoccio.

“Intelligence”, as a word has always been ill defined. What’s it mean? It’s mostly been used to create prejudices via standardized tests, the bell curve, and IQ tests.

I don’t believe it’s “intelligent” as we don’t really know how to define that. But I do think it’s really really really good at writing reasonable seeming statements in various languages using probability.

Coding and programming, are just languages. So it will likely be able to get pretty damn good at it, just as it has with the English language.

I think with LLMs accurate regurgitation of facts, is the colary to good code.

But I don’t believe that means it “thinks” (which requires introspection, and an internal experience). It does multi-agent computing, and this might even simulate some aspects of thinking… But it’s not thinking. It’s computing.

It won’t be able to do any more than that, until it consistently gets data from having a body (and something like glial thought-interactions/organs/flaws/survival).

That whole “dot com” thing, or having a “website” and “email” eventually popped and went away didn’t it?

Gib us alien medbeds from da UFOs.

I’m sure the Trump regime will charge a large tech company with crimes any day now. \s

I think it’s Capitalism.

More people need to refuse enacting the jobs we all know are ruining the world.

If you’re building anything for a billionaire, from a mine, to a yatch, to a compound, to an AI data center: FUCKING QUIT LOUDLY.

…and we need more jobs in areas tht help the world. Planting plants, checking wildlife, doing pollution checks, checking workplaces are obeying the laws and regulations, putting uo solar panels, designing and business parks, hospitals, homes, and schools.

Perhaps most importantly if you’re starting a business doing these things. I know that hierarchical Capitalism isn’t good or ideal, but ultimately it’s driving a lot of the horrible things in the world, from lobbying to AI, and we have to turn that shit around somehow too.

“Getting involved” can’t just be about protesting or “stopping the bad direction” - at some point we need to go in the good direction too.

I was as per the right most panel when reading this.

They’d rather change their operations than lobby for the poorest to have enough money and not have to steal.

This may not be what OP is into, but there’s an idea about Roswell that matches what they’re saying. Namely that America after the UFO crash was suddenly sitting on a bunch of new technology to reverse engineer.

So they did!.. And that explains America’s technical innovations since the 1950s.

So the Government set up a plan to slowly figure out and release all this tech (that’s a big change), and OP might be seeing AI as one of the final pieces.

Of course in actual fact you can traces the gradualness behind most technology, and look at the history of science to see nothing just popped into existence.

Part of the tech boom in the 1950s was from advances due to funding and science being concentrated and expanded (with the power of government funding) during the war years.

…and a bunch of the past 70 years innovations didn’t even cone from America. So really the Roswell-Tech-Boom theory falls apart. But of course like all conspiracy theories you can just recalibrate and retrofit it:

• Alien tech was given to other countries to release
• Universities were told to make fake histories to show gradual development.
• The Government only pretends to be incompetent to hide the great responsibility it received in the 1950s.
• Other people won’t understand because they don’t have my insights.

Yeah yeah, the singularity…

…which is why modern mass produced houses (with paper thin flammable walls) are so much sturdier than older well built houses?

It’s why modern cars with subscription models for seat warmers and extra acceleration are preferable to older cars that just had seat warmers and top acceleration already built in…

…and why a radio play written by AI is 1000 times better than a radio play written by real people, right?

Because the singularity is making everything better?

Have you considered that all that media you’ve been consuming is premised on selling you on ideas and purchases? On technologies that aren’t necessarily better, but keep their sponsors happy?

Don’t get me wrong. AI when correctly trained can be useful. But I don’t think it’s the cure all people make it out to be, and I don’t think we’re anywhere near a singularity.

Here’s a video debunking a lot of the AI stuff the media claims:

See… That’s a person who actually knows how to research. Where as just watching things isn’t really research. To properly research things you need media literacy and meta studies, and to understand the fundamentals of how things work… And to run practices and experiments on how things play out IRL.

Ultimately human labour (both mental and physical) drives the world 99.9% of the time, and AI hasn’t alleviated that problem except in the most innane areas (real estate agent copy writing and advertising copy writing).

Even programmers admit that when they use AI it’s not their best work, with many admitting it writes poor quality code.

I myself hooked some models up to Blender to allow it to create 3D scenes from prompts and found it could barely place spheres and cubes to mimic sculpting.

None of this technology is bright, or the be all and end all (extra training actually has logarithmically declining returns). So far, and for the immediate future it’s EMPTY HYPE, and human art, science, and WORK HOURS are still increadibly intense, and increadibly necessary.

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch… You may well have just picked up a bunch of rocks because the media told you they’ll be chickens soon enough.

I mean, obviously the big movements you’re talking about are the return of airship travel, urine drinking as a health tonic, and the further acceptance of gay and queer practices amongst black men.

In my view people who aren’t waking up to this need to do the research! Look at the stats, you know, less mouth bacteria ALONE is a great reason (your teeth will thank you in old age)… And really, buy a top hat and tails (no bottoms required).

Anyone who doesn’t know is already behind the curve and needs to WAKE THE FUCK UP INSIDE.

Can’t wake up.

WAKE ME UP INSIDE…

EDIT: I wrote this before OP revealed they were talking about the singularity, so didn’t write it to mock them, just to express confusion (and random guessing) about the transformation to the world that were being proposed. The original post is written like a weird guessing game, so that’s how I took it.

The Cessna pilot: “All those guys did this because of what I did!” :)

The UX combines with various Lines.

Meta? That company still exists?
