Ah yes the famous carless days of 1969 where we built paved streets for children to play in that then somehow got taken over by that damn newfangled invention. And right after we destroyed all those black neighborhoods for highways! The one for the kids to play up high on!

Edit: point being, like cars, AI can fuck itself. We never should’ve built cities and fucked the country for cars and we shouldn’t fuck up the country more for AI.

Double edit: didn’t even notice the community this was posted in lol probably didn’t need to add that edit in then but whatever.

or environment, or water supply, or power supply, or children's privacy, or people's brains, or economy...

I still have yet to see anything from these fucks that justifies the cost in computer hardware either.

"If you're not first, you're last" -Ricky Bobby

And that's the entire philosophy of AI investment. This is surely the next industrial revolution, so we need to be first so we win. Cause that's how you win capitalism.

Never mind that the entire industry is facing the dead-end where all of the data of humanity has already been hoovered up and we're still not at that damn singularity, and we kind of have no plan on where to go from here. All of that is pointless details. Someone's going to figure it out, and if we spend the most money it'll surely be us.
