Fuck AI

it sure as hell shouldn't be making any important choices unilaterally.

and people actively using it for things like... face recognition, knowing it has bias issues leading to false-flagging for people with certain skin tone, should probably be behind bars.

although that stuff often feels more intentional, like the failure is an 'excuse' to keep using it. see 'mind-reading' tactics that have the same bias issues but still get officially sanctioned for use. (there's a good rabbit hole there)

it's also important to note that supporters of AI generally have had to deal with moving goalposts.

like... if linux fixed every problem being complained about, but the fact that something else was missing is now the reason linux is terrible, as if their original issue was just an excuse to hate on linux.

both issues of fanboys and haters are bad, and those who want to address reality, continue to improve linux, while recognizing and addressing the problems have to deal with both of those tribes attacking them for either not believing in the linux god, or not believing in the linux devil.

weirdly, actually understanding intelligent systems is a good way to deal with that issue, but unless you people are willing to accept new information that isn't just blind tribal affirmation, they will continue to maximize paperclips, like a paperclip maximizer for whatever momentum is socially salient. tribal war and such.

i just want to... not ignore any part of the reality. be it the really cool new tools^ (see genie 3, which resembles what haters have been saying is literally impossible for a long time)^ but also recognizing the environment we live in. (google is pretty evil, rich people are taking over, and modern sciences have a much better framing of the larger picture that is important for us to socially spread.)

really appreciate your take!
