That… Doesn’t sound good.

Facebook is not exactly a trustworthy thing and to have developing countries dependent on it the way you describe sounds dystopian. :/

But dystopian is sadly the theme of the 2020s

I hardly remember Facebook… Isn’t that these days a retirement platform?

That the death data tells clearly they should have laws like many EU countries have on gun ownership.

Those are not multi purpose tools. Guns are for killing.

It’s actually a useful tool… If it were not too often used for so very dystopian purposes.

But it’s not just AI. All services, systems, etc… So many are just money grabs, hate, opinion making or general manipulation… I have many things I hate more about “modern” society, than I do as to how LLMs are used.

I like the lemmy mindset far more than reddit and only on the AI topic people here are brainlessly focused on the tool instead of the people using the tool.

Thanks, great to know!

F, C, E, K… Are they all directly compatible?

Yea, true. And sad. We’re fucked

Why is this world and timeline so hell bent on recreating dystopian sci fi novels from the 80s?

That I can easily agree on.

Though the reality is that the the e-scooter usage has not led to significantly less cars on the road. Instead they mostly replaced bikes, public transport and walking. Numbers vary from country to country and city to city of course so this is a generalized average.

This means though that they are not making anything better but instead making it all worse because I do not recall ever having had this much trouble with badly parked bikes in the past, even in a big and bike heavy city like mine.

So while the concept is great it fails because they don’t replace cars but instead just add another way of ruining public spaces ON TOP OF the fucking cars.

I regard it as a question of scale.

Cars are problematic due to how people use them. That they are used senselessly, agressively, carelessly.

Thats why there are so many rules and fines around cars. Fines that are nowhere near as strong as they should be.

And those same attitude people driving cars in bad ways also ride scooters.

I had a scooter with two on it plow through a tiny gap of elderly people at high speed just a few days ago.

I had a easily 8 meter wide pedestrian crossing in front of my office vlocked in a full line of e-scooters dumped there as parking space blocking it just as thoroughly as if two cars had parked there.

Now if I were to scale up the ratio of people using scooters to the same as cars then it would get very bad because they seem to think of e-scooters as being more free of rules.

Sure, a good solution would be to replace cars fully and use roads for bikes and scooters. Best possibility.

Sadly that’s not a thing and until then the people using scooters just as badly as car drivers are out there ruining that for everyone.

Uhm, are you one of those who park their e scooter wherever they want and are trying to deflect, or why are you so over the top triggered?

You think that’s a good and fruitful way to talk? Aha

As we all have shared ancestors this would be higly different depending on how far back you go in time.

Heck, if I go back far enough we all need to eat seafood

I hate cars and I equally hate escooter turds who carelessly leave the damn thing wherever they hopped off. Middle of pavement, right in the dead center of a bus stop where they clearly jumped from scooter into the bus door.

No, the little bit of space left getting fucked up by careless rental users is very close as bad as cars.

“hackers”…

I think as if in duality at times. I’ve come to think of it like the subconscious or one brain half that doesn’t know words injecting impressions, solutions, wants, into my conscious other brain half.

I think I can vaguely grasp how it can be that people have voices or other personalities in their head. I do not, though if my other brain half had developed a voice I’d be fucked. But that’s just how I perceive it.

Well, I do very occasionally tell myself I’m an idiot verbally when a cringy social interaction flashback hits me again. I hate that.

In any case I can visualize memories easily, even if details are unreliable and gaps are often filled with most probable placeholders created by imagination. Similar to dreams perhaps.

I’ve wattched my mind go to different states of self perception which I find interesting and jarring. Sometimes it shows me self perception that I like, which motivates me and makes me happy about myself and confident. Sadly those shifts in perception are hard to keep alive for long, hard as I might try.

My thinking happens in words and images equally, depending on the task. While writing this the right words just come from an unknown source and what I want to say is a concept finding it’s way with these words. As if one part is showing what message I want to deliver in words while a seperate process hands out the right words checking each word if it still conveys the intended meaning.

I analysed this while writing this and now feel like there is an type if LLM setup in my head as a component.

Well, not quite.

There are plenty of jobs that require smart people which can be automated a lot.

Business analytics, legal stuff, etc.

They won’t kill the need for expert human minds yet, but the jobs will need significantly less people overall for the same work, which means less jobs in those areas, which then leads to less people being able to learn those jobs and we are headed towards elite humans VS most humans being struggling slave-consumers.

At least from a current perspective.

If universal income or such were a thing all those consumers could focus on creating and learning what they truly like, many turning into experts organically, most likely.

But no, society is too dumb and rigid to adapt to this reality without everything burning to the ground first

Disillusioned

Depends on the country.

fine based on x percent of monthly income is a good one.

Look up some examples from Finland or Switzerland for the more extreme examples.

They at least punish the assholes who drive too fast.

I use AI daily and find it useful as a tool. Its also frustrating in its current state. The disgusting default buttlick responses, trying to please the user with fake polite drool. And then the many, many mistakes.

And it’s a new tool, so yea it need to ripen…

And that means to go all in on a company strategic level of AI as a technology is dumb.

When building a product the problem the product solves is to be the center of the work. Not the technology used to achieve the solution.
