Corporate is pushing AI. It’s laughably bad. They showed off this automated test writing platform from Meta. That utility, out of 100 runs, had a success rate of 25%. And they were touting how great it was. Entirely embarrassing.
Speak for yourself, ai generating porn is the greatest thing since sliced bread
Until someone starts generating porn of you and your family members. It’s already a huge problem that I’m surprised nobody talks about.
Yeah I was thinking to myself “how can we make being a teenager even worse for kids?”
You’re into naked people with more than the usual number of fingers? Not trying to kink shame…
Man, you haven’t seen the foot fetish images that bing can create
I have. They’re pretty mediocre in my opinion. When you zoom in it looks so gross.
Nor do I wish to.
Suit yourself, for my purposes, the original statement still stands
Ah! I thought you guys wanted cheap, fast, and most importantly interpretable cell state determination from single cell sequencing data. My bad.
The AI has a huge beneficial for drug development however. Iirc AI has synthesised a stronger version of one of the antibiotics.
This is really more about what the public considers AI- generative AI bullshit.
I’m so tired of these tech-bros trying to convince everyone that we need AI
I would disagree with the answers to all those questions
Elaborate, please.
On the environmental question, AI tools are energy agnostic. If humans using electricity can be environmentally sustainable at all, so can AI. I suspect the energy requirements are going to drop drastically as more specialized hardware is developed.
There are already a lot of great things they can do in the category of generating content for enjoyment. Both art and text based. One of the most popular twitch streamers uses a language model. Games and interactive experiences can be much more realistic and responsive now. As far as I can tell, a lot of people are benefiting from the ability to ask a question and get an expert level answer on most topics that is correct at least half the time. And this is just the infancy of the technology.
As far as well meaning people, a lot of people working on the technology are researchers and computer scientists who legitimately believe in the potential for good of the technology. Of course, there are people who don’t care and only want profit also, but that’s true of basically every company. So you could probably accurately say it’s being worked on by any type of person in that spectrum, but you can’t say the opposite and deny that well meaning people are creating it.
AI absolutely has the potential to enable great things that people want, but that’s completely outweighed by the way companies are developing them just for profit and for eliminating jobs
Capitalism can ruin anything, but that doesn’t make the things it ruins intrinsically bad

Edit: Oh shit. I didn’t realize this whole community is just for this… oh well.
