We still have Hummers. Aerodynamics isn’t everything.

I don’t want my car sending any data out to anywhere, that’s all. And all those features should be able to be manually disabled, because I personally am not a distracted or tired/drunk driver so I don’t need any of that stuff.

Touch screens are cheaper, that’s why they did it.

When multiple fields of science all agree, yeah they know what they’re talking about.

I just don’t get these anti-science types…

That’s not bold, we’ve known how long the universe will last for decades now.

Small talk is important. It leads to big talk.

It’s not just about the communities. We push communities a lot, and we do need more communities. But fundamentally we need a lot more PEOPLE.

New question: does anyone NOT IN TECH have a use case for AI?

This whole thread is 90% programming, 9% other tech shit, and like 2 or 3 normal people uses

That is a fun fact!

Three dudes in a university somewhere referring to chatbots as AI does not redefine the word, even if they did it 70 years ago. 99.999% of the population has always meant AGI by “AI”. Trying to pretend they were always something different is COPE.

I can write a program that just replies “yes” to everything you say and you can have a conversation with that. Is that program AI?

“AI isn’t really AI and no one ever thought that AI was actually AI so it doesn’t matter if we call it AI” is the funniest level of tech bro cope these days.

It’s always the same argument. “This objectively bad thing for consumers is actually good for consumers because it allows us to offer a lower price!”

No, dipshits, you are choosing to make your product shittier than necessary and charging customers to undo your shittery. That’s not some external thing, it’s something that you chose.

It happens.

It’s a graph of all types of theft including all perpetrators. I imagine most violent robberies are committed by people rather than companies.

If you call that rape, you need therapy and medication and have no business being in any position of authority. Disgusting. That whole thread is sad and disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself for the damage you do to real sexual assault survivors by trivializing their experience.

“AI hype trash accidentally solves global energy issues and ends fossil fuels” was not on my bingo card, but I’ll take it lol

I’ve been hearing a lot more interest in on site power generation, which would be nice except it will probably end up being natural gas.

Entirely possible that instead of warning them off it will give them ideas. “I can make money doing this??” Depends on what they’re like.

You must be very naive
