It’s exactly like the “guns kill people” arguments. I would like all this AI stuff to go away, the tech is not ready to be used.

People made AI to lie. When companies make something that does not work and promote it as reliable, that’s on the people doing that.

When faulty products are used by people, that’s on them.

I can no more blame AI than I could a car used during a robbery . Both are tools

AI does not lie. People using untrustworthy AI lie when they promote it as their own work.

Edit: to clarify, a day later. AI has wrong facts and cannot be trusted or used well. But machines don’t lie, people promoting the use of things that create misinformation lie. I wrote this to mimic the “guns kill” argument because I thought it would be fun to see reactions .

I learned a lot from this

Upvoted because : angry birds reference

Telling people what it was like to write with mechanical (non electric) typewriters. Nobody under 45 ever used them. They cannot imagine the difference of pressing down on a keyboard with some force.

The first time I tried out an electronic typewriter it was strange and changed how I wrote.

Only older people will understand, I think

I can code my stuff ok on an older model. I’m sure there are some stacks that need more resources, but I’m having a hard time thinking of which.

Admittedly, on a laptop that is 20+ years old, I cannot surf the web AND run docker at the same time

I feel like there are not any good and effective leaders or movements. At least not nationally

Many states have elections that do not allow recounts, using hidden methods to count, and flunk the same fraud checks used pretty in other counties reliably.

Given that, I’m not too worried

So…. I am going to express my opinion that Trumpism is merely the latest, not so different, expression of American capitalism that has always been this nasty and poisonous. And this includes the raids and round ups currently in the news.

There are some things that changed: the targets and oppressed have changed for some. The messaging has changed.

It’s a fad. This will fade soon enough, and things will still be bad. The good guys will be elected and clean up some of the stuff, but most of what they do will be ineffective. And then the next bad guy will come to power

Might be imagining it, but I think there is enough proof somewhere that some Mozilla board members were paid or extorted by google to sabotage the organization
