Fuck AI

None are paused tho. They might say they are

The difference between AI and the other 3: AI has the potential to save all the rich people trillions through the firing of the proletariat whereas the 3 numbered items were merely a small group of people trying to make money for themselves.

None of those were paused LOLOLOLOL

And then there's antichiral bacteria, where the entire scientific community will shoot you if you even breath wrong adjacent to the idea

I find AI very frustrating. I had a script I wanted to turn into a systemd service which I've never done. I searched the web, didn't find quite what I wanted so I asked AI. It gave a great answer to exactly my question and explained what every field was doing. It got me there faster than searching and browsing forums would have.

So great, I also wanted to set up a watchdog on the pi to reboot. It tells me to get watchdog package from apt then edit a systemd conf file. An hour later with nothing working right gave up and found a tutorial in about 30 seconds of web browsing that made it clear AI was mixing up instructions from 2 different methods.

So it saved me 5 minutes on one thing, cost me an hour on another. I feel like the internet and search engines of 10 years ago were much better than what we have now.

I'd be pretty certain that if any of these has "paused" its just because research reached its limits and is waiting for the next big development that enables it to continue.

Also "recombinant DNA experiments"??? What in the world is meant by that?

CFCs.

That's not how this meme format works

We do recombinant DNA experiments all the time. We just don't do it on humans, and even it depends on the specifics when done on test animals.

The grifters want to become "too big to fail", so that a "pause" would cause finance market drama. So, first, block the sale of the shares -- that's needed to avoid the grifters offloading to bigger fools.

Recombinant DNA promised better organ transplants, but it made Christians uncomfortable, so Bush II banned it.

Humanity hasn't paused research in those areas. The West has, China on the other hand does its own thing, the Chinese love messing around with DNA they keep trying to make dinosaurs out of chickens.

Fuck reddit

Well in theory we can fix all society. But we are greedy fucks

The only thing dangerous about AI is people believing the hype and thinking it can actually think and do things it can't do at all. LLMs, flock cameras etc. are just MENACE matchbox computers at their core. And it's dangerous that governments and CEOs are just blindly relying on whatever crap they pump out without human supervision.

Two major flaws is none of those examples had the potential to be highly profitable. And all three of those had major ethical and morality concerns that the general public wouldn't approve.

AI is being packaged and sold as a toy, so while people do object to it, it's not the same scale of playing god or literal war crimes.

If I hear one more person say something along the lines of, "AI is the future" I'm going to strangle them. Of all the people that say that shit, none of them can explain how it works.

Didn't we only stop RDNA experiments on humans? Like, nobody is gonna make a "designer baby" but don't we still do shit like give flies extra wings?

I mean none of those have immediate and massive financial advantages to the people doing them though.

ooooohh it's so dangerous and capable ooohhhhh please we need to be regulated ooooooo we're not releasing it to the public it's so dangerous ooooooo

Wouldn't doug judy's "name one bad nurse" scene have been a way better fir for this meme?
