when you are aware of the things company is doing and still continue buying from them. Though if the company has monopoly and you are dependent of the product, then its a bit different.

yeah, a bit too extreme take from me. I’m just so annoyed about people who apathetically keep supporting things that make our world worse or that are produced from suffering of others.

yes, but i dont think billionaires are THAT dumb. They see some value in it for them that they deem worth the risk of losing all that money. So that is why its even more important that the ai crap fails and continues to drain their money.

Or maybe i’m underestimating just how much money they have and maybe even all this is just akin to losing a large portion but it doesnt matter because they can just exploit everything else… But, if they get what they want then its bad for all of us no matter what.

those who promote ai usage and even pay for it ought to be blamed too.

While I can see some benefits in using llm for some things, way things currently are the negatives way outweigh the positives. Using it should be something to be ashamed about so this shit collapses sooner and maybe we can get some peace. Maybe once all the commotion dies down llm could become useful tool, but if its tied to destruction of our way of life (planet dying, economic disruption, no components for regular people) then it just has to go.

Alternative is we just submit and hope our owners dont abuse us too much.

they have somekind of plan, or maybe its all sunken cost scenario. Either way, they think they can get some benefit from it and they are so determined they are throwing insane amount of money in it even though there is no clear way to get any profit from it. So either they know something we dont or they are desperate to save their investments -> worse ai does, better its for all of us since once ai crashes the components stop being wasted on it, less electricity and materials are wasted on datacenters and best of all, all those fucking billionaires lose a lot of money they have invested or at least the investors who thought it good idea to support them lose and maybe dont do it again.

who owns the datacenters?

and there is windows emulator

why do they still keep hungary in the eu? why not add belarus too while they are at it. Clearly hungary is aligned with russia more, so isnt keeping them around kind of a security risk too?

i think tyranny is apt term for this

i think even north korea might be safer to go at this point

peculiar way to deal with the aging pyramid crisis…

lets drop the “should be” and go with is instead. You are very much correct that those people work against everyones interests but their own and their owners.

sausages are already pretty much non-meat products though, unless its actually well made sausage

is it really a parasite if you dont really lose anything and get something positive from it?

now its this, next its political propaganda most likely

why would one even want to go there though? You’d have to constantly be worried about being arrested without warrant and hauled to somewhere

Well, i didnt say the people pushing the ai are very smart, or there might be some angle on this that isnt apparent.

Or they just see new tech that on the surface seems incredibly revolutionary, lack critical thinking and self-evaluation skills to really consider if its actually as good as it seems to them.

Or it could also be case of sunk cost fallacy. They have already put unimaginable amounts of money into it, backing down now would mean most if not all of that is lost. That seems most reasonable explanation, but these people dont think like rest of us do so I have no idea.

Also, to them it doesnt matter what people need or want. They manufacture the need and do whatever it takes to get what they want. Many have already started to fall for the ai crap and rely on it for decisions. Eventually those who view it critically will be considered conspiracy theorists and otherwise weird people, at least if current attitude towards ai is taken for granted.

i think the plan is to first shove it everywhere, have everyone use and rely on it and eventually become dependent. Then they start tightening the screws while using it to influence people too.

majority of the applications i use are installed via f-droid. I couldnt even use my phone if i lost them. For example the default camera is piece of shit that just turns the pictures black and doesnt even have good options, while the open camera has everything one could hope for.
