The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems.

@tante They're already halfway done in some places. Some folks can't read, write, or do basic arithmetics without tool support anymore. Let alone summarize, argue, or conceptualize.

@tante

People don't recognize how insidious things like those Roku "chill coffee shop" muzak channels are, as part of the whole deal to make minds mushy.

People have absolutely been enshittified along the way. The technology is proving that.

@tante Click click...

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@tante Yup. The whole skit seems to be attempting to bring the expected level of human ability DOWN, so they could make money.

Fucking crazy… ‍️

@tante He wanted to say "futility", then corrected.

[classwario@mastodon.social]

@ftranschel @lritter @tante despair aside (despair may be a luxury when compared to survival), I think you hit it on the head. Deskill to rent back skill but no skill means no money to buy back.

It’s like selling a home while you’re sleeping in it.

The love of money is the root of insanity.

This is exhibit A.

#AI #Insanity #Money

@Petesmom @tante Your island idea is too generous. I'd be happy to see someone drag them out of their mansions and beat them to death in the streets.

@tante

Making money out of something that now is freely available and is stolen by them...
knowledge.

[mossman@social.vivaldi.net]

@tante Rick Beato - of all people - made me much more optimistic this morning when he pointed out that far from "owning" the LLMs, all the tech bro companies will go the way of the big expensive music studios when everyone ends up doing it themselves on their own laptop. Excellent point well made, I think...

@strayhorse @patrick_h_lauke @tante Beato. Interesting guy.

[ruston@mstdn.ca]

@tante The ones controlling the power want to ensure that those beneath them are uneducated and non critical thinkers. We are not progressing we are in fact going backwards.

[samiamsam@mastodon.social]

@tante

techbroligarchs really are fucking idiots

i have no fucking idea way anyone listens to any of them

*head desk*

[pizzademon@mastodon.online]

@tante A) he makes it sound like the instant skill download from The Matrix

B) Would you fly a helicopter if the knowledge pack was assembled by existing AI models? Would a model 5 years out get to six-sigma?

[tante@tldr.nettime.org]

@mossman yeah I didn't find his argument very convincing tbh

[devin_and_earth@mastodon.social]

@tante How quickly the supposed nonprofit mission of OpenAI has been forgotten in favor of "metered intelligence for sale."

[mikal@sfba.social]

@Quasit @tante

Do not fucking give them ideas!

[tagyourtoe@mastodon.social]

@tante Why does Sam Altman look like somebody put Frosty the Snowman's hat on a condom full of tapioca pudding and then kicked it in the head until it had brain damage?

[artgeek@mastodon.social]

@patrick_h_lauke @tante I actually prefer software subscriptions, so long as they’re reasonably priced. I’ve seen too many apps fade and die because their devs can’t afford to maintain them. I like open source, but we’ve convinced ourselves that software should be free, which is as much of a delusion as saying AI isn’t massive intellectual property theft.

[mikal@sfba.social]

@tante

This reminds me of a Johnny Mnemonic scenario, where any of us may have unauthorized data in our head that could be picked up by brain scans, resulting in criminal charges, civil liability and forced extraction.
