Yeah, look at NeuraLink and how successful that was at being a thing.
“This shit ain’t nothing to me, man.”
yes doomers they’re coming for you doomers …
just because you’re paranoid …
bwahahahahahaaaaaa …
Over my dead body.
Also, this is laughable:
We’re on the cusp of the next major transition, the merger of humans and AI.
These guys don’t even have true AI yet, just a text predictor on steroids that frequently hallucinates and gets things wrong.
The cope is really deep in the tech sector. Way too many imbeciles who think they’re geniuses and too much VC to throw around.
Always been this way, no? Sometimes, though, the imbeciles hire very competent people
It’s much worse now. Some of these people actually did impressive things earlier in the 21st century. Now they’re 90% grifters
Well, yes, but there was also a lot of bullshit that we simply dont remember because it disappeared after the great purge that was the internet bubble pop
90% is very generous.
It’s always been 90% grifters. Survivorship bias
AI is incredible if you ask it about stuff you’re not an expert on. Once you ask it those things you already have expert level knowledge on, especially nuanced questions, you’ll start to see the issues. It won’t be every question it gets wrong, but it’s often enough to be an issue.
In other words, it’s all an illusion. It’s a ruse to get us to feed it our thoughts, so it can summarize our files and our queries, and it can feed us the responses it is told to feed us.
We already know it can do that since they’re placing fucking ads in it.
It’s because they’re in so much debt they need to run forward to outrun it by… Getting into even more debt on the basis that this time it will payoff
I can guarantee you these tech bros take it seriously. Because they don’t have to pay taxes and have boat loads of money it means they are quite serious.
High on their own supply. Common human weakness, fuck I wish it weren’t.
AI CEO D. Scott Phoenix laid out a vision of a world in which the chipped enjoy so many advantages of the unchipped that you’ll be forced to comply.
I won’t even verify my age online. He can shove my advantageous chip right up his ass.
forced to comply.
The language I’d expect from a villain in some fiction aimed at teenagers, not from a real person. This is so bizarre, and the amount of people ok with ceos saying those things is disturbing
I’m not ok with this. He is KoS unironically.
I’m glad I learned that excessive convenience is a bad thing before this became the norm.
Doesn’t matter… we all know you’re a 47 year old used car salesman from Peoria.
LOL!
Sounds like someone who has never lived off the land. If anything like this happens you can guarantee there will be communes of people without this like the amish but not so weird.
A report in Politico details a TED talk in Vancouver last month
Oh so it’s just rambling musings of some self-important CEO rather than any actual declaration of intent.
There are some good TED talks but a lot of them are just hot air.
I feel like the bar is extremely low for TED talks these days. But maybe it has just changed to a financial one instead of an intellectual one.
TED talks have been absolute garbage for years, just corporate shilling and mindless pandering.
Even back in the days when TED talks were good, I remember learning a lot of cool new ideas that they made seem on the verge of tomorrow, that never materialized.
Fuck TED talks.
Even joking about this, should have your dick be shoved in a woodchipper.
No, I don’t think I will
I won’t even get contact lenses, I ain’t letting them putting a chip in my brain.
The fuck I will. Unless they change the definition of ‘give in’ to ‘die’ then they don’t know shit. I don’t want them in my PHONE, let alone my FUCKING HEAD. I think about them too much as is.
‘Die’ when you are locked out of society because everything will need brainchips as a key, and you starve if you can’t afford brainmoney transactions
and you starve
That’s why “eat the rich” is a thing.
There can be more than one “society.”
No argument here
Ok, fight to the death it is. Nothing left to live for anyway, they made every aspect of my life hell.
I literay don’t care about winning, only revenge.
Another tech headline, another thing that would have sounded pretty cool 20-30 years ago but today sounds like an absolute nightmare to stay FAR away from. And this one more than most!
Just like we all ran out and bought 3D TVs. Right? And Meta smart glasses. Any day now!
The smart glasses are selling really well tho. Creeps and people wanting to record everything I guess
Not if we 1- Forcefully remove 2- Smash to bits every smart glass we see.
I was unironicaly planning to secretly record my workspace to be able to do my job better, by analyzing my mistakes in the video, and ripping off other’s techniques.
Was too poor, director’s grandson beat me to it…
But imagine being able to use shaders to change your perception. Like “I’m going with the Virtual Boy this morning!”
But 3D TV’s were actually good.
I liked it, but tbh, as long as you have to work with shutter glasses or similar stuff it will never reach wide adoption.
it should only take camera tracking and two screens smooshed together. The front one displays blocking lines. Should be able to show proper 3d to several people at once. Their was actually a laptop using this kind of technology in the late aughts.
The only way I would ever even consider this is if the firmware was open source and the software to interact with it was open source and it had no direct connection to any sort of network at all and required an external device that I could turn off or on to connect to it an external network. Oh, and the hardware would need to be open source as well.
It will be proprietary and cloud based, when you skip a payment you collapse on the floor until a family member signs up for extended warranty.
Yeah, keep fighting the good fight. Keep demanding transparency, accountability, auditability by ANYONE at ANY TIME in ANY DEPTH. Maybe some day. https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/tiltuesday/maybemonday.html
Sorry chooms, I won’t be chippin’ in.
Can’t wait for adverts for the ass blaster 9000® to be beamed directly into my frontal lobe without my consent.
If they can blast in the ads, the need for physical toys pretty much goes away…
I’d take it
We could be granting everyone in the world a high standard of living but instead we’re going to charge them to self-induce early onset neurodegenerative disease.
knows you’ll give in eventually
No, I bloody will not.
Yeah, I resisted mobile phones until about 1999, and didn’t get a “smartphone” until 2014. I was quite the Luddite.
I still don’t play mobile games. I thought it was going to be a great opportunity but all the games sucked and I didn’t like the interface.
I run hot and cold… I liked the BTD series for a while - it has a good phone interface IMO as well as “easy to multitask” play, unlike something like StarCraft that sucks you in and demands 110% of your attention. However, I haven’t played it in years, I was just tempted to reload it tonight, and I did, and… it just doesn’t do anything for me anymore.
