"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.

Populate an MMORPG with them. Call it Heaven.

Your personality is not proprietary and will be used for profit.
You will continue to provide shareholder value, even in death.
Your family and loved ones can only look on in horror as your digitally reanimated corpse slings ads for products and services to pull more victims into the machine.
The machine hungers.
I would have probably never thought that 16 years after it's release, A Serbian Film would be an accidentally good allegory for American tech and social media platforms.
There will be people whose entire lives have been archived on Facebook. From mom peeing on a stick till they die. Because even if they don't sign up for Facebook, they will know people who use it and those people will post pictures, video clips and anecdotes about them without even asking. So yeah, some people's entire life history will be owned by Facebook.
That's one reason why I fucking never posted pics of any of my nieces and nephews while I still had a profile on that hellsite.
Yeah, they should be able to have a little necromancy, you know, as a treat.
Imagine if they get hold of artificial organs, and then they ship-of-Theseus people until their consciousness controls a fully artificial body. Unable to die, drowning in medical debt, the dead labor on. I bet that would generate a lot of value for stakeholders.
Your life is entertainment to be packaged and sold for profit by those who own the packaging companies.
Even that this became an idea is gross. Let the dead be dead.
Death is the ultimate truth, techbros can't let you have that.
They all believe they can become immortal by uploading their brain into a computer. They're not sound of mind.
What they fail to understand is that doing so would create the worst prison ever created for any person "uploaded".
There's that, but there's one other little tidbit.
"The hell? Why didn't I transfer?"
"You did transfer. You're in digital heaven right now."
"No I'm not. I'm still here in the upload room!"
"One of you is still here, yes. That issue will be fixed momentarily."
"What? I demand that you-"
Bang
They assume they'd be put on multiple immortal robots like Ultron, but that's not what would happen, and even if it did people could just destroy the robot. Assuming that was even remotely possible, people would literally copy the consciousness of whatever billionaire they hated most to torture them in the funniest ways possible, like a Tumblr user making them sort their extremely raunchy fanfics, or making them read fetish material (and not even the tame ones) out loud, or shoving them in a robot made for only one task ("what is my purpose" "you pass the butter" type stuff), or editing their code to make them glitch out in terrible ways...
Why do you think they're dumping billions in research to slow down aging and reaching immortality, dying would only exist for the poor
No sane person would ever want to be immortal.
Why?
Imagine being immortal with dementia.
Or being immortal with a failing body, just because you won't die doesn't mean your body won't keep breaking down, it just means that it won't die. You'll still feel the pain of whst ill you.
Yes but I don't like those scenarios not because of the immortality but because of the illness. If it were possible to achieve immortality without any hiccups then that would seem like a pretty good gig imo
Heat death of the universe. Eventually, you'd be floating in a black ⚫ void forever.
Sounds spooky
Ok, let's examine this "good gig" of yours.
Ok, you are now immortal and will stop aging at 70.
At first you don't notice anything different, but as the decades pass, your friends and family starts dying from old age, you get to see everyone you have ever loved or even known die, society keeps changing, as even more decades pass you see society change further from what you ever knew as you grew up. You no longer recognize the world as the one you grew up in.
Your existence start to attract attention from the government, you are accused of identity theft, and your retirement funds are running out, you can no longer afford to live in your home, you sell your house/apartment, but the government is confused and can't process your taxes properly, to them, you are an obvious conman, you have stolen a dead man's identity and they freeze your accounts. You are now homeless.
You have lost everything, your family, your friends, your society, your home, even your own identity has been taken from you.
Yet you still won't die.
There’s actually an interesting movie that plays off this premise. Its called The Man From Earth. The main character doesn't die. He stops aging in his 30s rather than his 70s but still, he runs into many of these issues you brought up
Do you think the psychopath billionaires give a shit about one half, and will be affected by the other?
Edit: I noticed the emphasis on "sane" person. Then yes, you're right. On the other hand, it makes it more clear that the rich see no downsides.
Lucky for them then ! It's tech billionaires we're talking about
“I can’t believe how big you’ve grown, how big my perfect grandkids have grown. It’s amazing, the way that time slips away. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to come to their baseball games or your wedding, but I’m sure you understand how limited I’ve been. The unlimited package is only $49.99 per month, sweetie. You can always have me in your corner, but I can understand how an old woman like me might not be wanted there.”
Gotta make it appear that daily active user number is high to sell advertising slots.
Don't they have the rights to any media you post on Meta?
So, if you post enough photos and videos of yourself,they can generate a 3D model of you, and capture a voiceprint.
And then they can pop you in the Metaverse where you will do and say whatever they want FOREVER
Eventually Facebook will just be bots
This has existed since the 2010s, the patent should never even have been granted to Meta.
Fkebook since ever knows it's users better then their moms, it is capable to write your Curriculum Vitae without problems, Now with AI it's only a new improvement.
They are forcing us back into reality and they aren't gonna like what we do there.
So should I delete all my stuff on meta platforms?
You can't, all your content is being owned and stored by Meta, see TOS. means, if you delete all your post and your account, it remains still stored there.
by uploading, you grant Meta a license to use those photos according to their terms of service
Deleting may not remove that license. They can change their terms of service to whatever suits them.
Unless you're in Europe, which I think has some laws around that.
Even in Europe, they can't untrain models. Unless they start from scratch, the machine knows you.
Cool - Being a necromancer to raise people from the dead to become your eternal slaves.
