It’s people like the ATC’s who run America. You are talking about the owner class who sit on their verandas drinking ice cold lemonade shouting “whip them harder and they’ll get more work done”

So now you moved the goal posts.

How about this example. It isn’t a problem if a family doctor has to do research an odd case. It is actually preferable that they do.

But I would hope that someone working in the ER isn’t googling procedures when loved ones are bleeding out and minutes away from death.

And quarterbacks need to know plays. Lots of information is best left memorized and in the head. And computers and tools like the internet can’t be taken for granted that they will always be there.

Power failures, computer ransomware, etc.

For some reason? We don’t live in a star trek like utopia. This is exactly how this technology is supposed to work in a capitalist society.

Just imagine when you are in a self driving car you will have no choice at all.

You could be moved through multiple toll roads. Or which toll owner is the highest bidder. Google knows everything about you through your.data. if you are poor you will be routed out of the way or into parking lot like traffic while other roads are kept clear for the affluent.

People talking about self-driving cars and the need to solve the trolley problem are out of touch with reality. The trolley problem is solved. The richest person in the accident will always survive. And that is easily determined by your data.

This is the world we live in and how the tech will be used. It’s the same issue with the"AI is just a tool" folks.

A knife is just a tool too. But would you want to live in a world where all the knives are owned solely by socio paths that have all the power in society?

Lol that it’s faster to use a calculator than recall a memorized result.

I am very so so at math and can do an unmemorized calculation faster than pulling out and typing it into a calculator.

Ha ha. Traffic will move to let billionaires through quickly.

Regular folks will be stuck in endless traffic trapped in driverless cars that charge them $5 a minute for the privilege all while playing the same loud and obnoxious audio video ads on repeat for hours on end.

If only it were so. Unfortunately prices were jacked up worldwide to compensate. If only the Americans were paying the tarrif it would have been an extra $50-100 for the console in the U.S. easy.

AI isn’t driving up prices. Oligarchs are. And they aren’t using their own money but our retirement funds to do it.

Ai is just a tool. One that is being built out because the billionaires demand it. They are already wielding this tool to bludgeon the masses.

Having trouble adding this as the default search in Firefox.

Anybody know the search query needed to use this from the address bar?

Does not seem to work.

Funny thing, seems like all the billionaires are all for eugenics.

In fact they are pro anything that brings them more wealth and power whether it be destroying the planet or destroying the human race (Thiel) or destroying the night sky (Musk)

Sure one BTC is one BTC. But how many USD is a BTC worth? A lot of that depends on the stable coin tether and that is backed 100% by “trust me bro”

And 99% of cryptoheads are just fine with “trust me bro” they just want “number go up” the rest of it seems to be misdirection and distraction.

The world isn’t moving towards war and authoritarianism. It’s being pushed there by the very people that own the AI companies.

The people are the product. You think anything is built for the end users benefit? These things only exist to spy on you, track you and spam ads for the benefit of a few billionaires that are In power so the can further enrich themselves and hold onto/increase their power.
