AI on mainstream media

golinux · 2023-03-23 16:54:03

The genie is already out of the bottle but at least the MSM finally caught up with it . . .

https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/vi … 6341189759

"Artificial intelligence has developed rapidly in recent years, stoking concerns that the technology is being released too quickly and without enough testing. Lester Holt speaks with Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin, co-founders of the Center for Humane Technology, about the dangers of developing AI without regulation."

It is a good time to be old . . .

IMO there is no intelligence in there.
But one of my favorite science fact-checkers contradicts me:

I'll definitely not play with GPTs, BART et al.
Instead I'd prefer to revisit facts and rules based (proof-)systems.

Adding this on Amanpour & Co. yesterday to the discussion:

Fmr. Google CEO Eric Schmidt on the AI Revolution

"Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. How it is being applied—and, perhaps more importantly, regulated—are now the crucial questions to ask. Walter Isaacson speaks with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt about A.I.’s impact on life, politics, and warfare, as well as what can be done to keep it under control."

IIRC there was a company already planning to reanimate your dead grandma as AI.

And with all that chatter with bots, you 2-legged data cattle will produce pure bit-gold for others.

golinux · 2023-04-02 16:13:20

Horrifying! And the dysfunctional sheeple will love it!! No doubt that humans are the stupidest most self-destructive species on the planet.

yeti · 2023-04-02 16:29:42

I don't think that's a purely human problem.

Other species discovering technology will outrun their own (mental) evolution by technology like we do and will get addicted by all the benefits of over exploiting nature for feeding their laziness, technology, greed, ...

Even if auto-mobile AI (robots, androids) were the next big player in that game, they still would compete over limited resources and and that would ignite the need to be faster, stronger, ... than the competitor. We can imagine how that'll end.

...maybe all this is just unavoidable in the greater evolution of the universe and maybe it even happens on billions of planets in billions of galaxies in similar ways right now...

When you say MSM, just to clairfy, you are aware that any media and all media that operates only on TV fits this bill, right?

When corporations like Google are considered left wing, by a country, you know the countries who think that are controlled by extremism.

Although I suppose denial can be a pre-existing condition, if you don't think this.

Not sure what anyone here thinks, but considering USA's alt right uses MSM alot, it sounds like denial to me very often.

I hope, that you, golinux that you aren't one of those people.

Btw, as an obvious, patents are hell for tech, due to the power they give the tech companies to abuse their power.

In any case, it doesn't matter who controls the DRM, even if the people are mostly benevolent, there will always be the factor for people who don't care about the law who will do whatever it takes to abuse it.

Bad guys will disable the remote blobs by any means, legal or illegal and use safe havens and abuse the vulnerabilities of those who are stuck with the backdoors to cause havoc.

It would be nice if the whole world understood this...

Heard of ciphersaber.com?

That's where I realized its not about catching bad guys or about national security.

Its about finding legal dissenters and about giving corporations endless power, nothing else.

Yes, it was not necessary to get down from the tree!

golinux · 2023-04-03 17:46:06

@zapper . . . You torture yourself with so many questions that are quite irrelevant to me so how can I possibly respond to them. I observe the stream of events at a distance but do not identify with them. In fact "media" has been absent from most of my life. The "world" can't be fixed because sentient creatures are too flawed to make choices for the common good. The bell curve says it all though that is something slightly different from what I am trying to describe. The only "world" that can be changed is our own mind and that internal transformation is my only concern.

zapper · 2023-04-04 06:07:18

@golinux I am aware that humans are unable to have true peace, such a thing will take till the end of time to occur if it has a chance to happen at all.

This being said, I definitely seek such a transformation. As for if I seek it enough, I am not sure.

But seeing various discussions and learning about libre software, etc... these revelations came to me regarding the reality of my country and no doubt various parts of the world.

@zapper . . . Thanks for the clarity . . . In the end the transformation that really matters is not the "movie out there" but understanding how the mind obsessively attaches to and misinterprets external events that are, in the end, inconsequential froth and foam.

Some are, some aren't.

This sounds vague... well... because it is...

Nice to know you are paying attention. It is a bit of a chicken egg conundrum. We are constantly experiencing sensory input. Some may be beneficial, some harmful, some just pass through. Sorting which is which is not an easy task and ironically, it is not what comes to us but how we respond that matters and liking or disliking is the most flawed metric of all so best to choose wisely. Yes . . . the task is daunting . . .

zapper · 2023-04-07 04:11:43

@golinux truthfully, even if the eye candy stuff were the same as the old designs in every way but the appearance, I would still try to avoid it like the plague.

Time and time again, has already proven that as time passes, modern designs seem uglier and not better.

This is indeed my opinion, but I doubt I am the only one who thinks this.

All I have to do, is keep in mind, there are more than 8 BILLION people on the planet!

IMO that reflects the chaotic minds of the creators. Humanity is generally devolving. Not to worry . . . AI will eventually be in charge and very little thinking from humans required . . .
