Ed Zitron, A Tech Beat Reporter, Wrote An Article About A Recent Paper That Came Out From Goldman-sachs

ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:

if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?

what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.

the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?

people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...

all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads

If you're upset that Elon Musk threw up a Nazi salute today, but have spent the last 15 months harassing (((Zionists))) in the name of Gaza/Palestine, then you're not mad about the Nazi salute, you're just looking for an excuse to dunk on Musk.

You're not an ally against Nazis, you never were, and you're not fooling anyone who actually is.

I feel sick to the stomach reading about the pogrom in Amsterdam and I am filled with unspeakable anger about all the leftist "activists" who, over the course of the last year, have contributed to creating an environment where Jewish people feel unsafe with their brain-dead and hateful chants to "globalise the intifada" and "from the river to the sea".

Ohhh you're all so upset about Republicans being nazis. "Punch a nazi!" Yeah, right. But what did you do about the nazis in your own camp? The ones cheering on terrorist organisations, celebrating rape as a form of resistance ("Me too" unless you're a Jew?) calling for violence against the Jewish community and the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world?

You know, it would have been entirely possible to support the cause of the Palestinian people and raise awareness for the suffering of the Palestinian civilians without going full-on antisemitism and siding with Islamist groups who don't give a shit about their own civilians. But that would have required nuance, it would have required educating yourself on the issue and reflecting you own internalised antisemitism.

I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community around the world.

Never Again is Now.

Gee, maybe filling social media with far-right neo-Nazi content with Elon and the GOP's open white supremacy, and filling it with far-left neo-Nazi content with celebrations over Jews being slaughtered, promoting blood libel and conspiracy theories, and presenting antisemitism as social justice, have rotted young people's brains.

Why did “be critical of your media” turn into “find all its flaws and hate it” why did people become allergic to FUN

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar.

The 1st orders a beer.

The 2nd orders a half of a beer.

The 3rd orders a quarter of a beer.

The 4th begins to order, but the bartender cuts him off, saying "You guys need to know your limits." He puts 2 beers on the bar.

Saying this these days really is like yelling at a brick wall but here goes again:

You cannot gleefully take part in the dehumanisation of an entire group of people based on their nationality, their ethnicity, what have you, rejoice in the suffering of that group, and be on the side of human rights, ethics and morals.

You just cannot. But so many of you try to square that circle. You want so badly to be seen as righteous, that when people call you out for your violent, rancid rhetoric, you throw a paddy and hurl insults through inboxes (always on anon, though, because you’re spineless fucking cowards).
