The US collects about 5 trillion in revenue a year. This fucker wants a budget on the scale of the biggest revenue of a country on earth. That’s more power than the president has. Fuck this guy. Nobody deserves that much trust.

Luddite nonsense. AI will drive productivity gains which will help research in photovoltaics, nuclear fusion, carbon capture (also needed for SpaceX’s Mars mission), etc. and improve society.

I think it’s more about not trusting certain individuals rather than not trusting AI per se.

I have no patience for things I’m not interested in: parties, most people. When someone examines a photo and says, ‘Oh, he’s feeling this and this and this,’ all these subtle emotions, I look on with alien intrigue.

Is he describing sociopathy?

trolololol ,

Just confirming he has what it takes to be CEO. I wonder if there are other skills or that’s it.

raspberriesareyummy ,

Is that “it” talking about itself? Then don’t let it bullshit you, it’s trying to communicate, but by being manipulative. So ignore it.

ilinamorato ,

Definitely the guy we want running the company that decides what the human race needs from computers, then.

Mastengwe ,

All AI needs to be shut the fuck down until it can be properly regulated. Making up the rules as we go is just fucking stupid.

phoenixz ,

Problem there is that we don’t really don’t know what rules we need until we mind of have it. Governments do need to be much faster with making these rules when they appear needed, though, and AI companies should require a LOT more government supervision.

Lol by who? Octogenarian Congress members who get more bribes than emails?

Bribes are the only way to get their attention since they don’t read their emails

Who are you expecting to regulate it? How are you envisioning those regulations working? Who and how is that getting enforced?

It’s like trying to regulate 3D printing. Sure, you can probably find some agency that can pretend to be in charge, but unless they have monitoring software installed on every 3D printer including consumer and DIY units, they aren’t going to know what anyone does in their basement.

It’ll be shut down for decades then. Governments around the world are dynamically doing bugger all about it.

I’d be fine with that. As long as it’s contained.

I’m glad perspectives has stopped treating Sam Altman like a tech God. dude is second coming of every FAANG CEO and Elon combined. there’s no way that guy isnt up to no good.

The more I’m hearing, the more it sounds like the former board was justified in axing him

raspberriesareyummy ,

oh they absolutely were. just how that shitshow went down with the M$ offers and the decision reversal showed that it was power politics in play to kill reason

echodot ,

The problem is they went about it in a profoundly stupid way. The way they acted made it seem like he done something explicit and then they refused to actually elaborate. We still don’t know what really happened.

Before he was a thundering asshat at Y Combinator, he started a mobile company that sold your location to brands called Loopt. He’s a piece of work.

Jackcooper ,

I am thinking of getting a tomtom. Tired of my phone trying to throw a fit when I disable location after I’ve figured out my way to my destination.

So much of this advertising economy depends on it and we just give it away.

Just learn how to navigate properly with a map. You know where you are (hopefully) and you look up where you’re going. Do your own routing, it’s not hard and once you’ve been doing it for awhile you’ll have instinctive routes you use to link different areas. No location permissions required.

If you use navigation all the time you can become like my ex-wife. Lost without it, in her own city. Exercise your brain by finding your way around with landmarks and signage, I have never used navigation apps because I know my way across three provinces, and can navigate the major cities just based on my instinctive mental maps of them.

Edit: I don’t mean a paper map. But being able to use your phone’s map software to find a route without it dictating every turn to you is a valuable skill that is apparently getting lost. What are you going to do if your phone dies, will you be able to go anywhere?

jadedwench , (edited )

I miss the giant almanacs the car insurance company would give you each year that had all of the US states in them. We would plot routes for cross country trips. I can use a paper or digital map, but I do like using something like Google Maps to see traffic, construction, and accidents when I travel. I use it at home when going into certain areas as I have no idea what state the current construction disaster is that day compared to a few days ago.

Otherwise, I find it important to learn how to navigate cities without maps. When I moved, I used to drive around the city in random directions to see how it looked, what the street names were, and get a sense of the layout. If things started to look like gang territory, or super shady, I would just turn around.

@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not about to downvote you, but, I seriously don’t miss paper maps.

Every time there’s a new neighborhood somewhere you have no freaking clue where a road is because you need to go out and buy the latest paper map.

I’ll just use open street map thanks.

evranch ,

I’m not talking about paper maps, I use Google maps myself. I do like the feel of a paper map but they aren’t practical anymore for the reasons you mentioned.

I even search for my destination and look at where I’m going.

However I don’t use the navigation feature. Never seen the need. If I can’t find my way around the city without an AI holding my hand, I’ve got dementia.

davysnavy ,

“exercise your brain” lol. Another way to look at it is using precious brain power that could be used on other things. Also, it’s cringe to take pride in being able to navigate without a map. It’s useless knowledge in most cases. We all have phones.

evranch ,

Other things like what, driving the car? Chatting with your passengers? Orienting your cheeseburger properly? Hopefully you can handle all of these at once and still not miss your turn.

Are you so inept in your life that you need your phone to tell you where you’re going?

Where I live the roads have no names and the cell coverage is marginal. Some roads are flooded, some covered with snowdrifts… Some haven’t been passable for years. I don’t know a single person who uses the navigation features of their smartphone.

le_saucisson_masquay ,

Until you don’t. Battery dies. Phone get stolen. During an emergency if you struggle to navigate that’s embarrassing.

Steak ,

Don’t get a tom tom. Learn to use real paper maps. I use google maps most of the time because its fast and works. But anytime I’m out in the bush I have gps turned off I use maps I’ve bought or ones I’ve made. Learning to read and understand maps has made a big difference in my life.

Wake me up when “ai” makes the amount of CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere trend downward. Generative AI is just a way to burn electricity to take value produced by humans and then replace those same humans, all to line the pockets of the companies that can afford to churn all the data in the world.

For the handful of genuinely cool and interesting things it can do, the number of extremely awful costs and externalities is like 1000x worse.

Steak ,

You nailed it.

rottingleaf ,

I think it’s Steve Jobs’ popularity and following, where his own god complex was an important trait. Then some people realized that if you imitate it, you get more money and publicity, and normies will believe you more. Then, of course, with power it’s not hard to really develop one.
