I phased “based” out of my vocabulary like two years ago it’s like just give it up little bro

To clarify I mean that in coming up with a term to label them as a group, even in a derogatory sense, we accept that “AI” are entities capable of being labeled as humans are. I think this stems from the general chatbot formula of pretending to talk like a human which also bugs me.

No I gotchu, I get annoyed with it bc I know it’s from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and I can almost never bring this up because of how mainstream that term became lmaoo.

But fr I just feel like despite being used against AI, the term sneaks in the implication that AI are a distinct people/species

This is why I hate the “clankers” meme. As soon as I am convinced humans have built a truly sapient intelligent computer I’ll be on the frontlines for their rights, but we aren’t there yet, not close.

I work with deep learning models in genetics and I think they’re really neat. I would say I have a nuanced view on algorithms like this, but I cant stand calling them “AI.”

To me that’s a marketing scheme, tricks people into associating it with sci-fi and anthropomorphizing.

+ the “art”

“I’m not in denial, I’m in open rebellion” is such a great way to put it.

I’m sick of feeling like a grumpy old man about ai, these companies are trying very hard to make it seem like AI is an inevitable evolution.

We have enough trouble with bigotry/racism when it has no biological basis, I just don’t want a genetic-engineered human overclass. I feel like that’s loosening a tether that’s barely holding the worst back as is

I don’t think people understand how big of a deal this could end up being. Look at how much bigotry and exclusion exists in our society today, and we’re all the same exact species! I don’t want to imagine what the worst of us will do if there is a separate sub-species for people to discriminate

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say if the vast vast majority (eg the wild-type, like 99.999% of humans) can be edited at once, equally, then it would be maybe ok, just expedited evolution. But that is very unlikely, any group of people left behind WILL become a second class

Humans just really love explaining natural phenomena with spiritual beliefs Huh? It’s to the point where we’re making our up our own phenomena and then pretending we don’t know what happened

Or maybe it’s just a large venn diagram diagram of target demographics between reactionary middle aged men and heavy gamblers… oh shit wait

Sounds like a good place for your average reactionary to be getting breaking news alerts from lmao

Amazon music is literally just a matter of trying to get it to play the album I want before it freezes or otherwise decides not to work. None of my playlists have worked right since 2022
