All of the resources and energy spent to get you this product you like. You can’t discount what it took to create something just because the final product is small and efficient. Take a look at the manufacturing footprint of nearly all complex hardware.

I’m not saying you created the AI but you are one of its supporters, without which there would be no AI.

If this was all just pitched as developing a new plain English coding language, I think the hype following it would be far more appropriate, but then the funding wouldn’t follow to support the massive development costs of AI.

Its become a circle of hype chasing money chasing hype.

Its not you that is the problem so to speak though, its the collective “you’s” who think the same way.

Thats a great way to put it in a simple way: its wrong to use other peoples content for things they did not expect they would be.

“See I like AI because I’m selfish. Also those bad things are in the past, I’m using an ethical AI system now! But also, who gives a fuck because I only care about myself!”

Yeah you get it guy! Maybe you can be Trumps secretary of technology!

You really put 30 minutes of your own time above all of downsides this has for the rest of us who don’t have a use for it (most of the world)?

Microsoft is in a death spiral.

Even my coworkers who are complete idiots with technology, who actively sabotage themselves every time they touch any piece of hardware and software, have soured entirely on nearly every Microsoft product across the board.

Its funny how quickly people change their minds when they dont understand the technology on a deeper level. Its just: “this is frustrating now I hate it” and no further thought.

:(

I prefer 270° myself, its something about just how gorgeous that set of numbers looks, but also probably how close it looks like pacman about to absolutely chomp down on some ghost ass :)

What’s your favorite angle?

Dang that was a quick reply.

I can’t tell if you want to talk or not, seems like you do cause of how eager you were to respond, but then you didnt answer my question :( I just want to have an honest conversation about something I find interesting, why do you gotta make me feel bad?

Well I just figure I’ll come back like once a day and check on you.

Hey so why’d you choose racemaniac for your handle anyways? Is it just like generic thing-feeling or is there like some sort of story there maybe?

Last word! :D

Sure thing, pimp.

Anything new to add? Are you really going to be upset all day about this?

I used to do that but I figured out it was a bit easier for me to just avoid them altogether, which I know is not possible for a lot of people.

I’m fine with being an asshole to you. I actually chose to, because I thought it was funny at the time. And now I think its funny how upset you’ve gotten over this.

Not sure if you’ve forgotten but I already conceded you were right: you just wanted to have an honest conversation about something you think is cool, but I think its stupid and I decided it was fun to tell you that. You definitely have nobler intentions and all that, I just simply don’t care about your point.

Also feel free to be hostile to me, I’ll be fine. I’m not sure what point you are trying to prove here besides “me good person, you bad person”.

I’m not going to stop replying, because this is fun for me. Take that for whatever but you don’t have to reply if you dislike me so much.

Maybe cost is a better word. Although there are risks to allowing companies to use your data, especially since right now they are selling the data to companies that are trying to make money off of you, like say car insurance.

I will say thats more an argument for blocking out all types of tracking possible, rather than saying a single one is bad on its own. One place selling your data isnt actually that bad, its when those single nodes are so numerous that you can actually map out what someone does if you chain them together.

Its up to you if you are okay with that in your life though.

Hey I’m just one guy who didn’t like your opinion, did I really ruin this whole topic for you? Was there no other replier who gave you the debate you were looking for?

Seems to me like you think my opinion is just as stupid as I think yours is, let’s call it even? And for the record, we’ve both been hostile. At this point I’m only replying because this is interesting and I want to see what you say next.

I think you might be projecting your own hostility there.

And you are just hijacking the AI conversation to argue about what the word intelligence means. I thought you wanted to talk about AI thats why I originally replied. When I realized you just wanted to apparently correct the public about their use of your favorite word, I decided this wasnt worth it.

Its sort of like you went to a bowling forum, and were very excited to discuss the mineral contents of the oil on the bowling lane, but got upset when noone cared to discuss with you because they just want to talk about bowling.

Lol you accept the risks, all is well!

8ts not about being mad its about where you spend your money. I don’t give businesses my money if they participate in deceptive practices. Its possible dominoes doesn’t sell data though so you maybe got me there.

Do you always argue the most boring parts of any issue as a rule? You win the argument, congratulations I hope it changes the world.
