"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This whole comparing AI to only the best and brightest humans at their absolute pinnacle is so tiring.
Humans are stupid, they're aggressive, they're ignorant, they're inattentive - so comparing only to the educated, civilized bits is just selective bias. Humans are wrong. Humans are bad drivers constantly. They think Vaccines cause 5G and that being gay is transmissible.
Fuck Humans.
Why not see both as the stupid thing that they are?
Because there are different "types" of AI, and some of them are genuinely impressive. I don't see AI as inherently stupid; I see that the way it's being implemented and abused as stupid.
Kinda the same way I see humans. MOST of them are pieces of trash, but there are some diamonds in the rough among them that are absolute treasures to be around.
I would agree with that, except I don’t want my electricity bill to go 50%+ for the same service and no choice of my own. That is the definition of stupid.
The problem is
Humans are not only bad drivers But they will have a difficult time accepting that ai is better, until it’s overwhelmingly better. Even then people will blame ai for inevitable accidents and claim “I could have done better”
Fuck humans? Fuck human nature
Fine. I propose a new law. Self-driving cars will only be allowed on the road if their manufacturers accept total legal liability for any damage caused by them. Humans aren't supposed to be operating these vehicles, thus all liability should fall on the companies that make them. This would be a very effective way of cutting through AI bullshit. It's easy to game numbers and make your product look safer than it is. And companies lie to their customers all the time. But if we make manufacturers fully liable for any accidents caused by their self-driving vehicles, then they will only release those vehicles when they actually are far safer than human drivers.
The auto insurance industry should be made a thing of the past. If self-driving cars really are that safe, then the manufacturers can afford to cut a check whenever one of those fluke rare accidents really does happen.
Until a manufacturer is willing to do this, don't believe a damn word they say about the safety of their cars.
They have to accept the liability- it’s unreasonable for liability to continue being on the driver if they’re not driving.
