"IA" have very few applications besides faking things. It fakes someone having read that mail, it fakes having wrote that mail, it fakes art, it fakes "helping you", it instead do fake job for you.

It's the "IA" spite can look too spiteful, but there's a key difference I think between "IA" and actually useful technologies: A computer helps you do things, not only work, better and faster, "IA" do it for you. You don't "learn" to use an "IA", you do have to learn to use internet and a computer.

"IA" is less akin to something like a computer and more like NFT, Radium Watches, etc. "Innovation" for the sake of selling instead of progress. Has is uses? Of course, but it create far more problems that it tries or even cares to solve and it's inclusion on everything just for the sake of selling just screams like plastic, radium, Teflon, lead on gasoline, etc. The promised miraculous new invention. Sooner or later we are going to pay for it. Again. All of us.

Since we are in a technology forum, a few quotes:

LinuxFoundation

“Frontier AI models have given defenders the ability to find and fix vulnerabilities in open source software at a speed and scale that were never possible before. That's an enormous opportunity for defenders, and Akrites ensures we seize it together. Maintainers deserve a coordinated partnership, not a flood of reports. AWS is committed to securing the projects our customers depend on and building this shared infrastructure alongside the community.”

– Matt Wilson, Vice President and Distinguished Engineer, Amazon Web Services

"Open source projects collectively underpin much of the internet, and the existing model for coordinated disclosure has been outpaced by how quickly AI can now find vulnerabilities. Getting ahead of that requires the industry to coordinate on findings and get fixes upstream before they're disclosed and exploited. Efforts like Akrites drive this level of coordination at the scale and speed this moment requires."

– Jason Clinton, Deputy Chief Information Security Officer, Anthropic

"The software supply chain is only as strong as the upstream it draws from, and we see how thin that layer really is. As AI finds more vulnerabilities, the industry will rush to patch them. Without coordination, those fixes will fragment across different patches and forks, and maintainers who are already overwhelmed, unreachable, or haven't touched a project in years. Akrites gives the industry one coordinated way to fix vulnerabilities upstream before they're exploited, with maintainers still in control. Now the work is making sure there's always someone on the other end to catch them."

Sooner or later we are going to pay for it. Again. All of us.

Yes, we will pay for crawling out from the primordial ooze billions of years ago. Everything is finite.

"IA is very good"

IA Corporation

I don't know chief. I get your point, but quoting the people who benefits the most out of it seems like a conflict of interest.

DuPont said Sprays weren't that bad for the planet, backed it up with a DuPont financed "research" and used DuPont financed media.

So, here is another quote:

Dario Amodei — quote on opacity: "People outside the field are often surprised and alarmed to learn that we do not understand how our own AI creations work. They are right to be concerned: this lack of understanding is essentially unprecedented in the history of technology."

I think is very different paying for building a society more complex than what we can understand and 10 million deaths by lead poisoning because some rich family preferred even more money over the life of everyone else. But you do you. The way you think "we will pay wether we like or not so we better make it count and take the biggest debt we can" is what have the world rotten as a whole.

The way you think “we will pay wether we like or not so we better make it count and take the biggest debt we can”

There was a tinge of snark in my comment. Sorry it didn't follow through. In the end, we are but a minute speck, but our over exaggerated sense of self importance hinders us.

Despite all our rage, we're still just rats in a cage.

We still have no clue how magnetism works either lol.

These LLM are just new technology, they had the same complaints about cars a hundred years ago too, and yes lots of people die in car crashes nowadays and how many more from the industry and pollution? But we move forward, humanity makes progress most centuries, idk maybe this century is one of those steps backwards, but we gotta stop acting like everything that happens today is unprecedented. We're a blink of an eye in terms of just human history much less cosmic history.
