Wow. This really blew up.

Lol. Good point.

Dang. Not a scrap of awareness of the irony, in the article.

I’ll bet substantial amounts of money that the claim of “advanced reasoning abilities” will be ruled to be outright fraud, if it ever goes to court.

It’s the same claim made by traveling freak shows about horses that solve algebra problems, and the technology is essentially the same, under all the abstractions - learning models are great at repetition, and don’t understand jack shit, today.

“We’re confident that the AI we sell can take care of everything…except anything we actually want to see get done correctly (such as selling it).”

Amazing! Lol.

That’s a great point.

Unfortunately for me, inability to operate a printer was a byline in the gruesome pact I made with unholy dark forces from shadowy realms in order to gain mastery of Vim keystrokes.

Overall, it was a good deal, but I couldn’t print this comic out to save my life, or my soul.

They are solvable problems, and many have already been solved already in some countries.

This is a great point!

Yeah. At least until his yes-men high five him and slap him on the back on his way to board the deep space or deep sea vessel that he designed himself.

But losing 75% of population, I can see some nuclear war breaking out

Seems pretty likely (eventually). I take hope that I’ll be in the direct blast radius, and not a mutilated horribly scarred survivor.

I choose not to think about this one much because it’s well outside my circle of influence.

The current trend sucks, obviously.

But historically, we used to be so much worse to each-other.

There’s reasons (data and practicality) to have faith that things will continue to improve.

But it won’t be enough, for many of us, in many of our lifetimes, so let’s all stay angry and active.

Lol.

“But honey, I left you a README file…”

Yeah. And Jerboa is FOSS and on F-Droid.

Providing competition against media monopolies is illegal.

If they can’t sell you your memories, they think no one should have them. They will let your memories burn and be lost before they let you own or share them.

They’ll keep this up and they will continue to work to make intellectual property never enter the public domain.

I’m too chicken to be a pirate, myself. But I’m aware that pirates and librarians are the only ones with any intent to preserve works of art for the public.

If this was a postcard, it would sell well.

Scribble an address with my less dominant hand, add a stamp, drop in mailbox…

or is it a universe where random chance causes every door to become jammed or otherwise malfunction after being installed?

I think it’s the later. I would provide a source, but I’m currently posting from a universe where no website can work 100% as designed.

Mist? It’s pretty foggy, but I don’t think he missed.

Lol. Yeah. Sorry, let me clarify, I agree.

Like any new technology embraced too hard too soon, AI is going to kill several of us.

The mass extermination of most of our species - I expect we will accomplish with or without AI assistance.

AI is going to kill a bunch of us, but this isn’t how it will happen.

Copyright law is the only one that matters apparently.

Exactly! Somewhere a lawyer for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) just breathed a happy content little sigh.

Lol. Nice. I bet it felt better, too.
