when you’re inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn’t.
@cabel and when you have the career already and are not struggling to find your first job.

@cabel given the amount of harm the industrial revolution did to the planet and how it reshaped the society causing mental issues to many workers, I don't think she said anything controversial

@cabel https://escaperoad.org That’s the danger of spending too much time in like-minded spaces — eventually it starts to feel like everyone shares the same perspective. Moments like this can be a pretty harsh reality check.

@cabel Here, too, you’re in an “AI-hater” bubble, but AI is here to stay—just as smashing machines didn’t stop the Industrial Revolution.

@PaniczGodek @cabel the Industrial Revolution also lifted billions of people out poverty and into prosperity. I don’t see AI doing anything like that.

@danbrotherston @cabel Just like AI haters aren’t opposed to the environmental and financial impacts of AI; they’re simply afraid of being replaced and don’t want to learn new skills.

"Just like AI haters aren’t opposed to the environmental and financial impacts of AI" - just the fact that it's wrong all the time, and is harmful in education (hence the reaction)

@danbrotherston @PaniczGodek @cabel Depending on what counts as poverty and prosperity.
(as an example most(? at least the most influential) poverty calculations count subsistence farming on communal land as poverty because there's no private ownership, no matter how abundant the yield is)

Oh, I can assure you, as an AI hater, I am deeply, profoundly opposed to the environmental impacts of generative AI and data centers. If dismissing AI critics with such a simplistic broad brush is the best you got, well, I rest my case.

For so many reasons, AI is not the next industrial revolution. The math does not math. The more advanced it becomes the more tokens are spent. The subscriptions people are buying right now are heavily subsidize to the tune of between five and 12 times the cost in tokens. The companies are trying to wriggle out from that real reality. Beyond this is the infrastructure reality that distinguishes data centers from previous bubbles like rail or dot com.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @cabel
"The math does not math" - well, AI doesn't know how to do Maths anyway

@cabel The companies building AI have told us for the past few years that AI can do our jobs better and cheaper than us and that it will replace us. This sounds great if you're an investor, but we are not investors. We are people who need to work to make ends meet and pay our bills. The vast majority of society is.

@Mabande @PaniczGodek @cabel I don’t think this is particularly controversial, no matter how much you twiddle the margins. If you think the majority of people are not more prosperous now, by any definition that is remotely objective— well, that is truely an extraordinary claim.
