I think people need to stop using the term ‘AI’ for everything a computer does to simulate thought or creativity. AI algorithms are basically large scale piracy machines capable of scanning the entirety of human art so that it can create a reasonable imitation based off the source material its consumed. Its strength is in its ability to internally pursue, and fail, billions of potential outcomes and come to one that meets the criteria its been givien within seconds or minutes. Instead of a million monkeys at a million typewriters, its like a quadrillion monkeys, and they’re all on adderall.

The truth is that it never understood the source material. It doesn’t feel anything from it, it doesn’t comprehend it. Everything that it does is derived from the material used for training and the instructions its received. If thats the case then we’re talking about Virtual Intelligence, not true AI or AGI, and I think thats an important distinction. I’m also surprised that more lawyers and copyright holders don’t feel that way.

Yeah I was going to say, our country is setup to drain any savings you have before you die via medical debt. Isn’t transferred to the next generation it’s intercepted by parasites.

I mean, yeah, that’s the American dream. I get six figures and work like maybe 3 hours a day on a busy day. When I was 16 I was washing dishes for $5 an hour and it was 8+ hours of constant, hard work, every fucking day
