ok, phew haha

it looks fairly gigantic in the photo

how big is that hand?!

the first person who develops a browser that effectively filters out AI results is going to do very well

no?

Journalistic standards exist. But for those you need qualified human journalists to give a crap about that kind of thing.

Imagine someone like him acting like ‘coming up with solutions’ is the problem. Infuriating ghouls.

CEO Sam Altman, who had previously emphasized that he didn’t have any equity in the company, will now get equity worth billions, in addition to ultimate control over OpenAI.

what! You mean he stands to profit billions after lying about his intentions?! A techbro would never!!

In addition to pumping real estate valuation, it seems like moves like this are a form of cutting workers without having to do layoffs. They know a large number of workers are wont be able to readjust, and will have to quit.

I would guess more density and less surburban sprawl would help?

Hey other automakers looking for an exciting new feature, you can always advertise NOT snooping as a feature and “add value” without having to do squat. Think about it, less scummy companies! (if they still exist)

How is it remotely euphamistic to say a career prosector believes in enforcing the law?

Voting for Harris is ill advised if we are concerned about fascism? Are you really saying this with Trump on the ticket?

Where are you getting this? Also NPR is center-right, they havent been on “the left” for a good while

true. This article has a responsiblly worded headline, but it only takes one outlet to get the words just wrong enough…

“he was met mainly with inaction because, he says, of fears about the amount of work involved or the cost”

No kidding, engagement drives their whole business model. And nothing engages and addicts people more than violent, hateful shit.

And its not just young men (though they are more heavily targeted) the algorithm can hijack almost any viewing pattern and steer it in a violent, xenophobic direction in a remarkably short time.

They arent going to change the algorithm unless serious action is taken by government regulation, or something (which is not a promising thought)

Across the whole world, any country with democratic elections it seems

It’s a lot of work, give them time

Employment is not a right? Well if we continue with a capitalist system and give most people no way to earn a living, we will need something to replace jobs for most people. We should not merely accept that it sucks and let things go to shit. We could pass laws limiting the use of AI or protecting workers, or providing basic income…

Whatever we do we had better figure it out soon, though.

But the difference I think is this isn’t just affecting a few niche industries (horses, carts and their associated care). AI is going to replace a huge, huge chunk of the workforce with no new jobs created to replace them. Even in the industrial revolution there were new jobs created - shittier jobs, but jobs. This is different.

Ok, but acting like you can’t trust any sources of info on anything is pretty destructive also. There are still some fairly reliable sources out there. Dismiss everything and you’re left with conspiracy theories.

It is stealing lots of potential work and income from professional creatives, though.
