We have way fewer consumer and worker safeguards, not to mention seemingly unrestricted political ads. All the use of AI to imitate political candidates has been very dystopian.
“People who live on a volcano are more worried about it erupting than the rest of the world.”
Ironically, the US is also home to one of several supervolcanoes that could destroy civilization
Not to fret!
I am the guardliest guardrail of volcano stopping super stoppers and MAGMA, that’s just a letter away from maga which, you know, is really a guard AGAINST the crazy radical left antifa volcano supporting dummycrats… And that’s why POTATO.
~some orange guy.
I was excited about AI until American billionaires forcefully shoved it down our throats and every company started drooling and putting AI “features” (bugs) everywhere.
my theory: i feel like the first wave of any product is overhyped and has less accountability to deliver.
"Hoverboards (2015) The “self-balancing scooter” became a global sensation almost overnight, with demand skyrocketing across retail and online markets. Because manufacturers rushed to meet this sudden explosion in demand, quality control was ignored. This led to a wave of defective lithium-ion batteries that frequently overheated and caught fire, resulting in massive recalls and bans in several countries.
The Segway (2001) Before its release, the Segway was shrouded in extreme secrecy and hype, with some predicting it would “change the way cities are built.” When it finally launched, the reality didn’t match the excitement; it was too bulky for sidewalks, too slow for roads, and far more expensive than consumers were willing to pay for its actual utility. "
straight off the top of my head… Blu-ray . everyone said it was better. it triggered the need to have “the latest greatest tech” but now… i dont even know how that would have benefited me, personally. it would have been more rational if they had a more tangible benefit… like a smaller disk.
also gameboy. …however i cant think of any criticism aside from costing alot.
…
I thought Hoverboards were the second wave of Segways.
Lots of inconclusive data IMO. Seem cherry picked in a lot of ways. The most interesting bit to me was that a study conducted by Microsoft acknowledges Palestine as a country. Genuinely surprised me.
Lots of inconclusive data IMO.
Yeah… Aggregation makes this kind of useless. Like, there are many reasons why AI could be good or bad, and many dimensions along which you could trust or distrust it. Mashing it all together without asking the “why” you think a think makes it kind of meaningless, especially given that exposure to it and education on how it works are going to be wildly different by region.
“Lets make a study to show the critics of our cool surveilance&slop tool that everything else thinks otherwise.”
A country with a service based economy is allowing tech bros and billionaires to ram a new technology down the throats of the entire population with little to no oversight. People have already lost jobs because of layoffs after their company replaced them with ai. Americans are worried about their livelihood and the dangers the data centers pose to their communities.
Americans don’t have effective social safety nets. They are eliminating a lot of what we do have. I guess we have to pay for Israel’s socialized health care, education, and genocide somehow.
We’re living on pins and needles to fund demons.
Americans have more exposure to AI. The rest of the world will come around.
AI caused layoffs too.
I think Americans can clearly see conservative leaders and oligarchs want to use AI to oppress us.
Probably because most of the world still has ethics and humanity.
Our country is just greedy, mentally ill, sociopaths in charge and everyone is fine with it
It’s the “everyone is fine with it” bit that’s the problem. The institutions that are supposed to operate as checks and balances on the ability of the president have simply have failed to do their jobs, and no one’s picking up on their behalf.
Other Western nations have had their fair share of idiot leaders, but everyone just makes fun of them, including the media, and then eventually their approval ratings drop so low they’re forced to resign, or they kicked out by their own party for the purposes of self-preservation.
It is often said that Boris Johnson was the UK’s Donald Trump, but not really because other than whatsherface no one liked Boris Johnson, he certainly didn’t have an army of sycophant idiots hanging on his every word. Everyone just laughed at him, constantly called him out on his BS, and eventually his own party turned on him, or risk getting booted out of parliament for an entire generation.
It’s true. The people were able to fend off could in S Korea and Brazil.
But people don’t seem to realize the level of background investigation and psychological exams that someone like a president goes through or has done to them.
This means that EVERYONE knew what he was and what he was going to do, and…they attack progressives
Because we know precisely how psychopathic our political and business leaders are, and they are already openly hostile to the Citizens.
Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has said that he wants to reduce the population to $100 million, about a 70% reduction. They are already looking for ways to eliminate people, they aren’t going to block any vehicle that helps achieve that objective.
Other countries are positive that their nations won’t use AI to deliberately murder much of their population. We are positive that they will.
Isn’t AI the only thing propping up the American economy?
Only Americans are propagandized enough to be afraid of AI slop
Americans are seeing the actual repercussions of those massive data centers being forced into their communities and stealing their water and power first hand. They’re being force to use that trash at work and then fix their constant fuckups on shorter time-frames than they used to be given to build the thing normally - because executives are the ones slurping up the actual propaganda that LLMs are actually useful for much of anything. They’re the ones being fired because their bosses think a probabilistic word generator can replace a thinking human.
its the massive layoffs, AI has been causing the layoffs for like 3 years already. now we see people even complaining about the universities they graduating from.
We’re saying the same thing, it’s too much slop to replace and now they’re lowkey rehiring because they wanted to replace us and are now using “safety” as their excuse for a product that’s mid
I had replied to a pro ai comment that seems to have disappeared.
They should be more worried about Super Intelligence.
Don’t call it that. We should not cater to the renaming whims of a fascist.
I was just joking because it was such a pointless thing to rename
That wasn’t very clear from your message.
You can use tone tags to make it more obvious when your messages are meant to be interpreted a certain way. For example, /j for joking or /s for sarcastic.
I am glad you were joking.
Don’t feed the AI bro hype
How about Subpar Intelligence?
Cause Americans live in the same country as the most fervent AI people
I wonder how many Americans, while believing they are a sophisticated culture, understand this is a test of their common existential narrative… which is backward and evidence of an inability to scale given modernity
