Reads like a communist shitpost. I can understand the urge to scream into the void but the UN probably isn’t the best forum.

Does this mean that my TI-84 calculator was actually an AI since it could solve equations I put into it? Or Wolfram Alpha? Or a speed camera? These are all able to read external inputs to produce an output. At which point does your line go, because the current technology is nowhere near where mine goes.

We are currently ruining the biosphere so that some people might earn a lot of money by being able to lay off workers. If you remove this integral part to what “AI” is and all other negative externalities of course it will look better, but not all of the externalities are tied to the capitalist mode of production. Economies and resource allocation would still be a thing without capitalism, it isn’t like everything magically becomes good.

They don’t understand though. A lot of AI evangelists seem to smooth over that detail, it is a LLM not anything that “understands” language, video nor images.

There are uses for these kinds of models like semi-automating analysing large pools of data, but even in a socialist society the resources that allocated to do it like it is currently is completely unsustainable.

Donde esta la discoteca? If you had a ‘cool’ teacher.

I used to be bored at work as I had too much downtime, so I decided to just accept more duties. Was nice to be able to solve problems learn new things and it made the time go faster. But you just keep getting more and more work and responsibilities heaped on you for doing a good job, and absolutely nobody notices it until you start falling apart. Then all of a sudden people you’ve never heard of are ‘concerned’ about you. At this point I am burnt out and do even less work than when I was bored, but the difference is that it also drains me.

The lesson is to never try to work at or around full capacity. Don’t fall into the trap of being bored and deciding to take on more work.

This is a thread of big lies that people believe.

Colonialism was a civilising mission.

Neoliberalism has also broken people’s brains to believe that nothing better is possible and anyone promising something other than managed decline or being vindictive against an outgroup is a charlatan.

How does this favour fast fashion?

People who are unable to smoothly merge or use slip roads without slowing down 500m before even starting to turn off should have their licenses revoked unless they take a driving course to correct their behaviour.

People who zigzag should just be put in a gulag however. Scum of the earth.

They broke out their special masturbation room rebuke flags to deny it.

Was just riffing on the idea that the people in the picture would be involved in any way with the statements put forward by the Swedish ambassador to Poland.

Nah, it was these three children and their mum that denied it.

Went and checked the lemmy.ml version of the thread, and they sure weren’t lying about the shitlibs.

Had someone break a front window of my work vehicle to steal the instruction manual. Have no idea why they didn’t just smash the back windows and go for the tools instead.

Wasn’t too much of an issue other than cleaning up the glass as it was going into the body shop anyways, but it was confusing. Another confusing thing is that there was a Bugatti in the same parking lot, and they went for the banged up work vehicle instead.

Yes, that too. He also was one of the most prominent slave traders of the time and put down the Spartacus revolt.

Trying to find the silver lining here.

Crassus invented the fire brigade and his head became a stage prop for the Parthians.

Farm labourers. There is a reason that such a large percentage of them are trafficked.

while they polish their own ego by going to work instead of watching and caring for their own kids

South Korea was a literal military dictatorship until the late 80s under the watchful eye of uncle sam.

They were the less successful US pet project after Japan. There is a reason that a whole lot of their media is about how capitalism sucks and that they are the heaviest drinkers in the world.

Retirement savings connected to the stockk market. Gives a perverse incentive for everyone to continue the wealth transfer upwards, since the stock market is largely based on the vibes of a handful of very rich people.
