Intensively obsessive fans with no respect for boundaries have existed for a long time, before the Internet. Ask the Beatles or the cast of the original Star Trek series. This is not a new phenomenon, this one just comes with a coat of extra slop.
Sitzen zwei Kamele im Keller und stricken Benzin. Kommt ein Schraubenzieher, läuft ein mal den Türrahmen hoch und wieder herunter und verschwindet wieder. Fragt das eine Kamel: “Du, hast du dat geseh’n?” Sagt das andere Kamel: “Jau, der is öfter hier.”
That’s not going to make anything better though. You’ll just go down a path of addiction and self-destruction. Plus it’s expensive.
No no, these things are getting better in my opinion, in Germany/EU at least!
It’s starting to show its cracks (see Facebook), I’ll count that as getting better.
Older Millennial here, they are right, too bad people my age didn’t get the memo. Never understood, even back in school, why getting plastered is celebrated.
In no particular order, from where I am:
I don’t expect it, but I’m also not going to be complicit in them getting worse. Lethargy and cynicism means you’ve already lost, which is what the assholes at the top want.
I thought Interstellar was about as good as 2001.
I so am not, they are both horrible.
Yeah, before supermarkets that’s how things worked. I don’t think it was better. The gross profiteering is its own issue. I’d much rather see a crackdown on shopping apps that come with small “discounts” for invasive tracking.
Why bother talking to guys like Sam? Why print what they say?
Because very dumb people with lots of money still believe his lies.
He’s running out of superlatives though, can’t go much beyond declaring that the singularity is happening right now. Which I means the investors will see that huge ROI aaaany second now.
I don’t think your premise that it is going to grow more in terms of impact size is valid. It’s already eaten the US stockmarkets (and a number of others).
Stock market schmock market, this bubble is also doing damage to society and the environment and at least the part that comes from the lies and lobbying from “OpenAI” and consorts would be stopped by it popping.
Yeah but Linus also says Linux isn’t good because he’s unable to read.
He’s literally saying the opposite of what you’re claiming in this.
#RepealTheThird!
People are disappointed that Linus is pro ai
Being “pro AI” in my book goes a lot further than what they are doing. Using generative “AI” for coding with human oversight and the high standard of code review they have is a far cry from wanting to cram LLM slop into everything as much as possible. I think it’s good that they are trying to find security issues like this, for example.
He knows very well no one can just fork Linux in a meaningful way
FAKE NEWS! But I have a great idea here, maybe it is the best one folks, just fill the whole pool up with beautiful, highly reflective mercury. Or, as they call it, quicksilver. You know what quicksilver is? They used to have it in thermometers before they made them woke… And and I also hear that the algae don’t like being in it very much! Just like looser liberals with box cutters. But if they want to reform, and I told JD about this already, we can do patriot baptisms in there as well! It’s going to be great! The only thing that would be greater is if we filled it up with liquid gold, but we can’t afford that now. Not after what OBAMA did. So the silver will have to do.
Oh, he’s the one running Linkedin, now it makes sense why that site, of all places, has anti-AI features now. I hope the shareholders will have mercy with his soul.
