  • What is with the pro-AI posts lately?

    Jump

  • Interesting how Americans are the most concerned. I wonder what might explain that. In the US, white people are the most worried (IIRC).

  • Which raises 2 questions: Were they anti-slop because they saw the threat to their jobs? Or did they lose their jobs because they wouldn't match the output of AI users?

  • I agree. Now note how far away from AI this is.

  • Those issues are something that societies and democratically elected representatives should work out; not some billionaires. The problem seems to be that some people with a good thing going don't want something that benefits them personally. They prefer no change over something that benefits everyone (but them relatively less).

  • That's 1 company, not AI as a whole, and its services are obviously much in demand by our democratically elected leaders.

    How so?

  • taking more power from the masses.

    That's promoted by AI haters. The copyright people want to privatize human knowledge and charge rent for it. The latest lawsuit against Meta even includes Elsevier, ffs.

    Then there's all the busy-bodies who want everything surveilled "for the children". Cause people might be chatting about self-harm, or generate nudes, or some other "harmful" content.

    a random person on thier computer could put something together to change the world.

    Yes. For example the random people who founded these AI start-ups.

    Right now, the world of technology is uniquely malleable in a way it has not been since the dotcom crash. That's what motivates most of the hate. It's people who feel that they will lose out; eg the news media that already suffers from the rise of the internet.

  • Concerns Mount That EU Will Demand Age Verification for VPNs

    Jump

  • For many people, especially politicians, it was always about this. It's a rejection of the unregulated "wild west" internet, built on US ideals of free speech.

    Germany used to have a fairly successful Facebook clone. Once it was a bit successful, it was forced to split up. Minors had to get their own separate service, where they could not be contacted by adults. It wasn't a hit. The "American technological hegemony" is the result of deliberate policy choices such as that.

    Demanding age verification of websites and services is Europe sticking to its guns; European values.

  • Why do you think that?

    *gestures at OP*

    Were you thinking of this instead?

    No. Why would I?

  • Apple’s AirPods with cameras for AI are apparently close to production

    Jump

  • Yeah. But mind that the bulk price of mediocre cameras is insignificant next to the sales price of AirPods.

    I think the idea is that people can walk around and chat with their AI companion, and it sees what they see. No need for any fussing about with hardware. That's exactly Apple's thing. Effortless technology for people who don't want to deal with the mechanics of technology.

  • They are supporting some projects with free tokens. Their own people are also helping to find and patch bugs. The latter is probably more to help improve the model and harness than PR. I don't think they have to worry about advertising anymore. Mind that there certainly would be a major outcry if something important got hacked with help by their service. They might even have to pay damages. But I wouldn't put it past them that they are being responsible as a matter of principle.

  • Yes. I hesitated to post this because I understand that many here would prefer not to know. But, at least, people need a chance to learn the facts and make their own decisions. The amount of anti-AI disinformation is crazy.
