Highly authoritarian leftists

I don’t think we should be having the AI write the program in the first place. I think we’re barreling towards a place where remotely complicated software becomes a lost technology

I don’t mind if AI helps here and there, I certainly use it. But it’s not good at custom fit solutions, and the world currently runs on custom fit solutions

AI is like no code solutions. Yeah, it’s powerful, easier to learn and you can do a lot with it… But eventually you will hit a limit. You’ll need to do something the system can’t do, or something you can’t make the system do because no one properly understands what you’ve built

At the end of the day, coding is a skill. If no one is building the required experience to work with complex systems, we’re going to be swimming in a world of endless ocean of vibe coded legacy apps in a decade

I just don’t buy that AI will be able to take something like a set of State regulations and build a complaint outcome. Most of our base digital infrastructure is like that, or it uses obscure ancient systems that LLMs are basically allergic to working with

To me, we’re risking everything on achieving AGI (and using it responsibly) before we run out of skilled workers, and we’re several game changing breakthroughs from achieving that

AI isn’t good at changing code, or really even understanding it… It’s good at writing it, ideally 50-250 lines at a time

Who cares? It’s subjective.

If it’s reposted all the time, but people like it a lot so they upvote instead, why do we need more accurate data?

Because your diet sucks. A few months of eating only unprocessed food and you’d probably eat McDonald’s exactly one more time in your life

And I do specifically mean McDonald’s… It’s uniquely disgusting, even among fast food. It tastes like it’s reconstituted food scraps doped with sugar

Gatekeep at the grocery store. It’s easier to resist eating a full tub of Oreos by deciding not to buy them in the first place

It’s easier to moderate what platforms you use than it is to resist their affect on you. Restrict where and how you are exposed to short form video and what kinds of social media you use

Also, take magnesium glycinate, but not on an empty stomach. Basically everyone with ADHD has a magnesium deficiency that makes the symptoms way worse

They’re becoming closer and closer to it though. Scary court decisions are being made, it won’t be long before someone tests it as a legal argument

Why I signed up to go through this hellscape

Oh they’re great at lots of it. AI call centers? Completely unnavigable. If you wanted help, instead of customer support you should tweet at the company and hope it goes viral

AI doctors? They can deny insurance coverages at light speed. Same day rejection is the kind of “innovation” healthcare needs

AI investment advisors? They’ll help you talk yourself into betting on whatever notion you think might be profitable, and tell you that’s it’s the smartest most clever investment idea they’ve ever heard

So your saying it’s a very plump pinata?

It’s because we don’t feel better, we feel tired. It’s an exhausting process, and we don’t get to feel reward chemicals from abstract tasks like that

It’s so insane that it’s legal to use AI to deny claims just as a black box. We’re so cooked

I refuse your defeatist nonsense. There’s 3 years left, progressives are making huge inroads into both local governments and the party machinery, and the old guard is being changed out

Even if I were wrong about it, that’s still the only way out. Obama-like means nothing changes, Biden was Obama-like - we didn’t recover from Trump I, Biden just stabilized the new normal and insisted it’s fine now.

We have to demand better, starting now. While we have the time

Obama wasn’t a progressive, he just sounded progressive. He had a mandate, a majority in both houses, and what does he do?

Continue everything the last guy did, pass the healthcare plan from the creators of project 2025, and attempt to “reach across the isle” towards people openly racist towards him

If we had another Obama, we’d just be putting fascism on hold for another 8 years. We can’t keep splitting the difference with the far right

It doesn’t anymore… It crashed like 5x today, and that’s not including the times where it froze for 5+ minutes and recovered

Because companies don’t do R&D anymore, they fund startups and aquire them when they’re ripe

Being able to replace workers with AI is a holy Grail for capitalism, and so a ton of companies have poured their saved up “R&D funds” in order to get in early

I think they’re too big to bail out at this point

Also, no one wants US bonds right now, so we couldn’t borrow our way out of it even if we wanted to. We’d just have to print like a trillion or more dollars all at once

Well, must be nice to live in a civilized country…

Are labels like that actually helpful?

I’m genuinely asking. I feel like they’re not, that with or without it you have to forge an understanding with others

I mean, what would an autism diagnosis provide?

At least with ADHD you get really helpful meds
