I have seen this thing use shrug emojis when it figures out it's talking to a brick wall, so at least it has that.
AI don't trust techbros

I am 99% certain that "Unpolarized Marine"'s second and third comments there are sarcasm.
God, I hope so.
Twitter really is that bad these days.

Another nice article on how the economics are(not) working out, and if things crash and burn like the trajectory they're currently on, Oracle in specific is toast(which may provide another reason why Larry Ellison has been trying to get into other things like TV networks etc)
Microsoft is built around practically giving away their flagship product just to make it so omnipresent that their enterprise customers can't imagine using anything else. If they can't subsidize AI, it's toast.
Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!
Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month...

You have a government outright tell the industry they won't make any laws or regulations regarding AI for a decade, this is what happens. Suddenly every dirty trick they can think of or have ever thought of is back on the table as long as they can work AI into it in some way.
So... do you all know the history of mass transit in the US? Prior to the 1950's; the US had large scale, comprehensive, efficient mass transit systems. Largely rail based. Every major city even.
It was, quietly, bought up by the car companies, the tires companies, and the oil companies, quickly dismantled and they forced the country into gridlocked hell ever since.
The tech bros will literally do the exact same thing with AI. Everything you might want or need that doesn't have nor need an AI in it will be stripped from store shelves and replaced with a subscription based, cloud AI piece of jive. Skynet won't be sending a humanoid drone with an assault rifle to kill you: it'll lock you out of your services while draining your bank account.

Well, that, and a certain soldier-turned-president bought into literal Nazi propaganda saying that cars were better than trains and decided we should copy them. If it hadn't been for that, who knows if the dismantling of rail travel would have been allowed to happen.
I want more than an inquisition when this is all over. I want something so harsh we'll need a new name for it.
"Great American Fascist Purge"?
Like Olympians thinking they've been trivially disrespected.

And because it's marketed as a podcast people will believe it, like all those AI-generated "science/history" videos that have been getting dumped into youtube. Confirmation bias for anything you want to believe(unless it hits whatever minimal guardrails are on this).
Amazon’s Alexa+ Now Produces AI-Generated ‘Podcasts’ Featuring Chats Between Two Robot ‘Co-Hosts’

@paco I don't know if you ever watch Youtube, but there are more and more episodes of "AI Psychosis" really harming people in their every day. Lawyers have pissed Judges off by relying ChatGPT and then misquoting real law. Or the chat-bias convinces them they have found some salient point and...

Apparently disliking datacenters and AI is starting to be treated as another form of extremism now by certain parties.

US Law Enforcement Warns of ‘Anti-Tech Extremism’ as AI Hatred Grows
As Americans stew over the looming risk of job-stealing AI and data centers in their back yards, the feds are raising the alarm about a new category of threat, documents obtained by WIRED show.
It's certainly possible that people are going to start burning down data centers.
Have they set a date? We can figure it out by cross checking the loan applications for gas.
