How many of you have received these calls? I got a ton of them along with my husband and siblings.

I’m so tired of the constant attacks by these losers. Someone needs to shut them down.

I would never buy from them anymore. I am fairly certain that explains why I could not access my games from years ago.

It’s a fox site. The comments on those sites were always akin to sewer water. Also the ads are cringe inducing.

The best part of this is that the AI could not come up with original content. All it can do is repeat what humans already output. I would say games journalism is safe from an AI takeover. Now we just need to get rid of the bot spam.

Isn’t this what /u/spez was also concerned about? AI mining Reddit for content?

You can definitely tell the writing was AI. The characters spoke like they are in an infomercial. I couldn’t watch the whole thing.

Ha! And the tin foil hat wearers were worried about the government injecting a damn invisible chip when they can just read your hand outright and be done with it. I love it. It’s so poetic.

Yeah, that was a horrible idea. Glad they cancelled it.

There is no federation with Threads because it isn’t federated yet.

I hate LinkedIn. It is just annoying and stressful. It’s a good place to talk to some recruiters but other than that I don’t use it.

$18 an hour in expensive as hell New York City and they have the nerve to sue. That’s bold.

The speed is not impressive, but the fact that did it at all is interesting.

Some great conversation here. Thanks everyone who responded so far!

Good point. How will we be able to tell the difference?

I agree that climate change should be our main concern. The real existential risk of AI is that it will cause millions of people to not have work or be underemployed, greatly multiplying the already huge lower class. With that many people unable to take care of themselves and their family, it will make conditions ripe for all of the bad parts of humanity to take over unless we have a major shift away from the current model of capitalism. AI would be the initial spark that starts this but it will be human behavior that dooms (or elevates) humans as a result.

The AI apocalypse won’t look like Terminator, it will look like the collapse of an empire and it will happen everywhere that there isn’t sufficient social and political change all at once.

The article was skeptical about this. It said that the problem with expecting it to revolutionize policy decisions isn’t that we don’t know what to do, it’s that we don’t want to do it. For example, we already know how to solve climate change and the smartest people on the planet in those fields have already told us what needed to be done.

The article really isn’t about the hallucinations though. It’s about the impact of AI. its in the second half of the article.

I have the same job and my company opened the floodgates on AI recently. So far it’s been assistive tools, but I can see the writing on the wall. These tools will be able to do much more given enough context.

The evolution is fast. We have AI with a theory of mind:
