Brain rot, job destruction, increased inequality, massive acceleration in global warming, massive decrease in the quality of critical systems, societal and economic collapse…
Explain how an AI calculating protein foldings will cause brain rot, job destruction, increased inequality, massive acceleration in global warming, massive decrease in the quality of critical systems, and societal and economic collapse.
Explain how protein folding software, which predates “genAI” by decades and has as many similarities with it as with Tetris, has anything to do with this conversation.
You have trouble following your own train of thought, apparently. You replied in a thread claiming “All AI is humanity-ending garbage”, claiming it causes “Brain rot, job destruction, increased inequality, massive acceleration in global warming, massive decrease in the quality of critical systems, societal and economic collapse”, and then you ask me where you said what you said. Lay off the drugs before you completely fry your brains, dumbass.
That’s fearmongering. It has use cases and has had them well before this LLM AI bubble. The bubble will pop and hopefully these CEOs are actually charged unlike 2008.
Explain how an AI calculating protein foldings feeds people’s collective cynicism, lack of social skills, general paranoia, lack of trust in each other, waning hope for the future, and whatnot.
Oh, so your approach to arguments is just to deny that you said what you said? Amazing skills there, jackass. You replied to a thread claiming that “All AI is humanity-ending garbage” claiming it does that “by feeding people’s collective cynicism, lack of social skills, general paranoia, lack of trust in each other, waning hope for the future, etc.”, and then you say you didn’t say that. So you just lie, and that’s your entire argument? Maybe learn to follow the most basic of argumentation logic before chiming in next time.
You don’t even know why I said that. Why do I have to suffer people who are incapable of reconstructing someone else’s argument?
The ML approach to protein folding is a different system, used in different ways, by different people. Your insistance on conflating a data analysis technique with a robot that will pretend to be your girlfriend is utterly bizarre. It’s so oblivious and unaware, I don’t even know what to do with it. It’s like you want people to dislike protein folding. I don’t understand why your camp insists on treating these like they’re the same thing.
Except I do, actually: it’s the card says moops. A very Republican tactic, if I’m being honest.
Does anyone else think that the old refrain of letting nerds run the world was actually incredibly misguided because nearly all of them lack the social skills necessary to not be sociopaths?
As a nerd who slowly grasped social skills over decades, while most of my cohort did not - yes, hard agree. Case in point - the AI-zealot posting all over this thread.
Nerds? You mean a select few oligarchs? Nothing wrong with learning and technology. I know over half of Americans read at a middle school level and think they’re all geniuses from social media and memes. However, some of us do enjoy intellectual pursuits and technology for good use. This shit hole country decided to vote for this administration that is hostile towards everyday people and doesn’t believe in regulating a bunch of malicious billionaires.
I was a network engineer at one of the biggest backbones on Earth before retiring. Before that, I designed and programmed industrial automation. So, no tech background at all.
Now that that’s out of the way: a blind squirrel could see that sucking up all the energy and wasting endless fresh water is a bad thing for the environment. The “bigger-than-2008” market crash that’s also coming won’t help.
And again, AI has been around for many years before the LLM craze and these select few companies advocating to shove it in all our faces, forcefully pushing data centers everywhere and integrating it into as much as they can. That is not something that could or should be done with AI. It is these company executives choosing to push it like this. It wasn’t always like this nor did it have to be
Do you even have a tech background? How is a machine learning algorithm going to end humanity?

By feeding people’s collective cynicism, lack of social skills, general paranoia, lack of trust in each other, waning hope for the future, etc.
Do have a humanities background? All tech people should have one.

It’s not. Trap circumvented. Do you have another question?

I have both actually. There are many, many use cases for AI and again, they were used before people like you even knew it was a concept.
Well, you’re not putting it to very good use.
I use machine learning all the time for stats what do you mean 😭
Stats.

I salute ye for your hard work on yourself.

You have no idea what an ‘AI’ is, so apparently none of that tech background helped if you’re still that ignorant and dumb.
