I work at a tech company, and I am finding the whole AI thing really tiresome. It’s infected our work. It makes me want out, but I honestly don’t even know what I would do. I’ve only been in this industry for 6 ish years, but the thought of starting from scratch again seems daunting.

Looking at other jobs in the same area, they all want some kind of AI involvement now. It seems almost mandatory

You can see how Curio’s website could be mistaken for satire. The “girl” in the promotional video is Grimes, who has prominent “alien scar” tattoos and is inexplicably kneeling next to a knife.

I had to reread that part

I was frustrated that Canadian news outlets were downplaying who he really was. They’re also saying people who are celebrating his death should be ashamed.

He contributed to death, ignorance, misinfo, and leading youth into the alt right pipeline. People should be able to participate in politics without risk of their life.

People should also participate in good faith and shouldn’t be allowed to lie or steal. In a just system, these people would be held accountable by the courts. People also should not be allowed to advocate for things that directly or indirectly cause hatred, racism, discrimination, etc.

I don’t feel ashamed for feeling okay with this situation. At most, I feel bad for his kids, but I felt bad for them regardless of this situation.

Idk man. It’s dumb

On my last phone, Facebook was installed by default and could only be deactivated. It was super dumb

I appreciate your optimism a lot. I always thought a UBI and AI would do something like this, but recently, I’m increasingly doubting that we would be able to achieve this without greedy people using it against the masses. I want your outcome to come true

Least expensive employees? Does he mean salary wise? I was always under the impression software devs were paid well

The more I read, the more I realize that America IS Russia. A lot of countries, governments, and people share a lot of ideas, thoughts, and goals. It really feels like average people are just getting played, manipulated, and strung along.

I also realize that I’m starting to dig into ideas and thoughts that completely shatter any of my preconceived notions that I had about the world.

In some ways, I think it is helpful. In other ways, I don’t know what to do with this information or how it can help me/others. I feel like it’s an information overload, and I don’t know how to handle it.

Very interesting article, thank you for sharing

I’ve heard of this kind of AI usage a few times now and it seems so smart. You’re learning by teaching, but also being trained in AI literacy and the downfalls of AI. It encourages critical thinking and genuine learning at the same time.

And investors cheered

At this point I think the cat is out of the bag. The internet isn’t private anymore. At the same time I question what happens if we start to self censor. On one hand I think it keeps a person safe, on the other hand I think it could just start to let authoritarian or fascists take a stronger hold when they’re the loudest voices.

Thank you for the information! Yeah, I don’t really trust them. They feel flimsy and unreliable for most things. Sometimes, they have their moments where they seem actually helpful.

I hate their usage overall, I just figure if I need it to help me land a job at some point, I should probably just have some extra options ready.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there a good place to figure out how to run LLM’s locally? Seems safer than entering personal data onto a server somewhere

The Patriot Act wasn’t enough already?

Good grief. It makes me sad that the internet is becoming a major source for data harvesting. It goes against what I think it should be about. Free, open, knowledge sharing.

Took a quick look for coverage in various news outlets, but it seems like they’re glossing over the breach of privacy and focusing on keeping the border safe lol.

Either that or I suck at looking for coverage in mainstream media. Most of what I found was from June

Does anyone else find it ironic that the employees were hesitant to do this? I’m sure many of them have their reasons for working that job. But it seems funny when AI is built off of stolen data, and then the employees are like “hey wait a minute, though. Don’t use my data.”

That sounds frustrating! I’ve been seeing similar messages on various comment sections now. You would think there would be some kind of QA testing prior to launching this lol.

Kinda not surprising though, because youtube seems to launch experiments very haphazardly.

I’m not sure why but I’m able to disable them on mobile. The tricky part is guessing what the original track is. I’m on YT premium which might be why?

I think the ideal functionality would be having (ORIGINAL) next to the audio track that isn’t dubbed and have that set to the default setting.

I think if they can get the dubbing correct and actually working as intended, that would be incredible for opening up cultures for everyone. I think crossing language barriers is really cool.
