We are NOT ready for AI at ANY level. It’s a weapon being used against the working class.

Indeed.

If you think the issue is with its quality then you need to sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up, and pay some goddamn attention.

Given the sizeable demographic of Lemmy being in IT, I understand the hate because it takes away creativity and literal jobs of programmrs but for many sectors, AI cuts down time consuming “secretary work” especially in documentation. It has also been useful in drug discovery and proven to be more accurate at diagnosis than doctors (there are already surgical robots but i am not sure how precise they are).

Whether you like to admit it or not, AI is here to stay. As to whether it will have a net positive to society, only time will tell. I’m just preparing for contingencies like many Gen Z do, picking trades to AI-proof their job security.

I hate AI as much as the next person but the Pandora’s box is open. A lot of people don’t want to admit it but AI, despite its current limitations, does have potential. Many people say that AI hit its limit and peak but i would not be very dismissive of it yet. Plenty of technologies were hindered by the limitations of their time but gradually overcame those. It took renewable energy at least fifty years to overcome the storage problem, their respective technical limits (solar panels for example did not have great photovoltaic system) and upfront cost before it became more commercially viable.

Remember Project 2025.

That explains the bots.

Dead Internet theory is real.

Why does the dude just not retire? Or is someone keeping him alive to use him?

They always are. My experience with bullies is that when you hit back, they are more fearful than you initially were.

He’s new in politics and he’s already acting like a president. Could we see a new FDR in our lifetime? Both are New Yorkers after all.

As an outsider, I kinda like him but hearing of the controversies surrounding him, it says a lot that he could be looking the other way even though he may not be directly involved.

Pedro Sanchez is a capable prime minister of the ruling Spanish Socialist Worker’s Party. Unfortunately, his party and his family members are embroiled in scandals which tarnishes his legacy. But that’s not to say that Pedro isn’t corrupt himself, he just hadn’t been directly implicated.

I notice it on my parents. Even though they largely grew up poor, my mom’s family is rural and little less well off, while my father’s family is lower middle class who owned a business in a small town. My mom is quite broad minded but she has a typical conservative mindset to just “just keep your head down. Do what you’re told and no questions asked”. Or worse, bury the head in the ground and pretend the problem doesn’t exist. Meanwhile, my dad is more on the left and more knowledgeable because he is a wide reader than my mom. He encouraged my siblings and I to pursue more varied interests and he voices more political thoughts than my mom. She has a more tunnel vision of life than my father, because struggle and work is what mom had known more. Whereas, my father probably had more time to think because some financial cushion enabled him to pursue other interest without being distracted by constant anxiety of poverty, which my mom had experienced more.

It was a short video from a historian on social media which I saw it from so I’m afraid I can’t find it anymore. But now that I think about it, it is possible that they themselves are inspired from Marx’s views.

Some historians argue that revolutions and changes typically come from the middle class.

Freedom of movement is a right.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely ", unfortunately. I heard that studies have shown the neurophysiology of a person changes the longer they are in power and influence.

I’m not a praying man because I am agnostic. But i am doing a sign of the cross for my American brothers and sisters.

I also own shares on memory manufacturers but i am flexible to sell my shares if the companies turn out to be total sleaze bags. There are plenty of other companies in East Asia regions that are killing it in the EV and AI boom that are not sleazy.

Because greed.

That’s okay. He’s got mountains of cash to waste because he’s selling billions of user data worth trillions.

Now Americans are learning the difference between left and liberal.

Because the Congress acts like an appendage.
