Hi, this is what you sound like
"this is a climate scientist bubble opinion. 7bn people use oil every week. I hate Exxon and Aramco and I wish they didn't exist, but billions of people buy oil from them every month. It's very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them"

this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

I post a lot about tech because fuck those guys
But also, cars
Cars take up a mindboggling amount of space
Cutting down on the space dedicated to cars seems like one of the first things to look at in cities and countries with a housing shortage, yet it's barely ever mentioned
Why?

It's as reliable as any dumb poser with a big vocabulary.

The letter has 3 demands:
1. No AI with dirty energy;
2. No AI without employee input;
3. No AI for violence, surveillance, or mass deportation.

When all is said and done, AI will likely be both the biggest con and the biggest waste of money in the history of this world.
OpenAI is now at $1.8T in commitments to various AI infrastructure providers over the next few years. HSBC updated its model with some generous numbers on projected revenue from subscriptions. enterprise and ads but still sees a shortfall of over $200B by 2030.
And this is the bull case for OpenAI.

Turing failed to consider whether a human thinking a machine is sentient might actually be a sign that the human isn't intelligent rather than the machine being intelligent.

Why is Microsoft pushing Gen AI crap into Windows and Microsoft 365, etc.?
Because massive corporations no longer make consumer products for consumer desires, needs.
Consumer products are now weapons to spy on you to make shareholders and fascism happy.
