lock thread?

Gift article about the collapse of a company that failed to design an AI chatbot for the LA school system. A telling portion intimates that the company’s founder kept referring to work she had done with a lab at Harvard… but which was actually a brief association as an undergraduate and then extension student. AI is just big grift afaic

Kurzweil seems to be a sober advocate for what's going on at the moment. But then he quotes Musk so that's where it first gets suspicious, even before the immortality stuff..

Kurzweil is a big credulous dickhead.

Hand crib:

If Musk says something is happening now, it won't be seen for a decade or more.

If Musk says something is a year away, it's unlikely to be seen in our lifetimes

If Musk says something is two years away or more, it's a physical impossibility

Handy, jesus

, your own

I just looked up Kurzweil a few days ago to see where he was at on prophecies of the Singularity. Apparently we’ve got ‘til 2040 to enjoy our meat bodies.

Cool keyboards tho

Alberto Carvalho, the current head of L.A. Unified, is a piece of shit who was imported from Miami. I’m glad he ended up with egg on his face

Even loveable paranoic Douglas Rushkoff thinks “AI” is snake oil bullshit

Kurzweil is a big credulous dickhead.

These guys are really creepy

Kurzweil says some things that seem plausible and some that seem way too optimistic. Its a mix of useful and garbage.

Sora’s current output and its inevitable evolution in the next year makes me very worried for people in the VFX, animation, and gaming fields

until you can actually give it notes dont think theres much to worry about except maybe on the extreme low end

I’m not so sure. Based on stuff like this, we’re probably a year away from creating approximations of the original cuts of The Red Badge of Courage and The Magnificent Ambersons

naw

AI fans crossing over with people who never read another book after Harry Potter seems appropriate.
