THANK YOU. I'm always saying this. People always say they miss the "old, weird internet" but it's still there and still active and still growing. But these people choose to spend their time on 2-3 highly addictive apps and complain about it. Nobody is forcing you to download Tiktok dude.

What AI voice are you talking about? Just random social media? If it's making you want to smash your phone I don't think the problem is the voice....
That's assuming the hypothetical superintelligence is willing to do the bidding of billionares. But I'm not sure how the billionares would control something that is smarter than them and also doesn't rely on money to stay alive.
Glad the subheader is "Imagine what happens if jobs actually start disappearing."
There's just still not a lot of evidence that LLMs could take a substantial number of jobs away, unless your job is spam, advertising or propaganda. Corporations are blaming AI but there just isn't the evidence to support the idea that those fired workers are anything other than normal downsizing (that conveniently help fit the narrative and boost the stock price).
IF an AI gets invented that actually begins making humans unemployable, the economy as it exists wouldn't be able to withstand it ...who would pay for things if there are no jobs? Why provide goods and services for money if nobody can pay for it? Even being a billionare would be pointless because if everyone else's economic value is zero they can't be compelled to do anything with your worthless slop money.
Sure but still, like, for what?
From the moment I herd that Google was going to transition to LLMs my first thought was that it was their way of finally defeating adblockers.
Does anyone actually know the stated purpose of this project? It surely can't just be for LLMs but I haven't been able to find anything.
There are nice friendly frontends for this, Yunohost or CasaOS spring to mind but might be too simplistic if you already are familiar with Docker.
yes massa sorry massa
She definitely did lol watch the full video, she's totally surprised.
I wish more people would understand that LLMs are "taking" extremely few jobs away. The "chatbots can do a real job" narrative is just there to bump up the stock prices.
A real AI would incur massive job loss, but the job losses we're seeing now being blamed on AI are really just the same normal oligarchal greed at work.
That's a great point, I suspect you're right. Also the Internet wasn't something you were constantly connected to back then, so spending 45 minutes a day on stumbleupon felt more special.
Granted there's no good reason we need to be spending as much time as we do online now...
