It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.
@tante and also, the whole power dynamic of shifting home/personal computing back to a mainframe that you need to buy time on. what has already happened with a lot of software moving to a "rent, but never own" model

It's extra funny because his technology is garbage and is not capable, in any form, of replacing or even augmenting human intelligence.
Any database in which 20% of the data is wrong, but you don't know which 20%, is a database in which 100% of the data is useless.
He can dream shit like this up as much as he wants, but it's not going to happen.
No matter how much the Bosses shovel LLMs down our throats, they're never going to not be garbage.

@tante not to mention the “if it’s 80% of the way there it’s good enough to ship” logic that a lot of companies are using to justify mass firing employees. Substituting human logic for half-right generated nonsense.

@tante Only the shit they'll sell back to you will be worse because LLMs are inferior to their inputs...
...and nobody using it will know enough to see that.

Koch Network kept Uber & Lyfft afloat for a decade to thwart public transportation projects.

An Unholy Alliance Against Public Transit
Uber and the Kochs aren't often mentioned in the same sentence. But the rideshare company has joined the far-right billionaire-funded operation on a libertarian crusade to destroy public transit.

To thwart a fossil fuel phase out, Koch Network is again lending its financial support to something unsustainable, polluting, & undemocratic.
The Koch Network Is Pushing Trump to Accelerate AI, Documents Show
Right-wing political group Americans for Prosperity, backed by oil and gas billionaire Charles Koch, sees data centers as part of a larger pro-fossil fuel agenda.

A coalition of philanthropic funders will spend $1 billion over 15 years to help develop artificial intelligence tools to help spur economic mobility.

Not just "AI". I can't believe people rush to subscribe to taps where techbros siphon our money.
You want to call people? There's a subscription for that. You want to listen to music/watch movies? There's a subscription for that. You want to have a door camera? There's a subscription for that. You want to make dinner? There's a subscription for that. You want to edit documents? There's a subscription for that. You want to learn a language? There's a subscription for that.

Clarifications to billionaires:
Water and electricity are not services, they are HUMAN RIGHTS. Without those two things, people go back to middle age and/or die.The so-called "artificial intelligence" has NOTHING intelligent about it. Comparing a computer program to the human brain is a marketing and propaganda operation.
Rich people think Human Rights are just "services" they can cut off if you dont pay.
Sadly, they convinced many people that that is true. -
