“Obviously, the great contradistinction here is Europe, where, you know, it’s like people have given up, and we — I really hope that turns around in Europe,” he added.
Europe is giving up by having ethical, human focused, and probably open source AI/and not firing all their scientists and researchers? Meanwhile the GOP is literally trying to sneak language into a spending bill banning regulation for a decade?
What a pizza shit.
I mean, every apologist and defender of capitalist apocalyptic hellscapes will have that view, sadly. So long as it makes them an extra buck it’s good for them, consequences to society or environment be damned.
As an European who does advocate and see value in the use of AI, but not at any cost, I’ll take his opinion as a compliment. As they say, “I want AI to do my dishes while I create art, not for me to do the dishes while the AI produces insta-art”.
And eventually if AI gets capitalistically out of hand and leads to many people in service-based economies to poverty and unhappiness we’re sure to see a revolution to restore balance, as many times in history when a few elites made things unbearable for the rest of the population. AI is here to serve humanity, that’s where the value is, not to serve only a select few.
I agree, and as I keep trying to point out to people in the U.S., I’m pretty sure the reason Trump is not even giving GOP loyalists emergency disaster money when something happens in their state, is because there’s nothing left.
He literally put all of America’s eggs in one basket because he (and Peter Thiel) thought/think if they just deregulate everything and keep throwing money at it as fast as possible they will win, and other countries will be coming to us to buy our AI.
Tbf they are definitely planning to use it for evil, not to make humanity better, but I still don’t see why anybody would buy AI tech from the U.S.
I am wondering what happened in Brussels though, that made them say they’re considering some deregulation.
Trump was also very pissy at all of the EU but apparently Brussels in particular really hurt his ego
No what happened is that all of his backers want him to go after the EU because the EU is constantly suing American megacorps for breaking of local laws, and they don’t like that.
Trump is just doing their bidding, he isn’t actually angry at the EU, except because he has the vocabulary of a rather dim 8-year-old, everything is “nasty” and “evil” and “bad”.
Germany. Italy. A bunch of EU states. Some African states. Who am I kidding? Capitalism rules the world, they’re just extremely emboldened now. Globally, we need to wake up and show them they’ve overplayed their hand – before we can’t.
Mostly right now it is here to torture humanity with low quality slop. It literally can’t do the things people claim it is capable of doing, no matter for whose benefit. It is just that some people benefit even if the output quality is significantly lower as long as they have enough people convinced that it is a viable replacement.
The AI field is more than just LLM and generative AI. Like models that can detect cancer in scans are not LLMs or generative AI.
Yeah, but Palantir is based on using AI in Saudi Arabia to execute people for being gay. Proof? The computer said so.
And in any other country it boils down to variations of that principle. Justify oppression, discrimination, torture and murder by the “impartial” decision of the computer algorithm fine tuned to make exactly that decision.
Mainly the purpose of those is to diffuse responsibility.
As with everything it’s grey rather than black and white. It can do the things people claim it can do but only up to a point. All of the people claiming it can run a business on its own selling you a lie, but that’s not to say that it can’t do some tasks within a business.
For example it can code pretty effectively, as long as the application is relatively small in total file size, anything large it tends to get lost in.
As long as you are okay with 95% of your code not doing what you intend it to do while using libraries that don’t exist sure. Otherwise it really can’t. I am a programmer myself and have quite frankly wasted many more hours than I should have giving it the benefit of the doubt on that one and it just produces utter horseshit as code.
When I tried it it was all right, and it certainly didn’t try and use APIs that don’t exist (I suspect it’s very language dependant), however I also wouldn’t say it was particularly spectacular.
This was using gdscript to make a basic character controller. But and entire game, fat chance.
Sure, if you make something that likely has literally dozens of copies of the exact thing in the training data it can probably do well.
