of course. who needs to walk when we have cars

Yep, Dems are just the good cop to the bad cop. And their only purpose is to placate the country into thinking we’re not 100% owned by billionaires and corporate interests.

Oh they understand it. They just can’t pass up the opportunity to make massive amounts of money and increase their power by fragmenting western society

Yeah for sure very creepy. Like I stepped in some alternate HN universe

And rolling back changes

It’s optimized for emotional reaction instead of communication

a cruel destiny for humanity.

Controlled by increasingly unfeeling, sociopathic masters, who grow more and more in power. And now also do not age or get sick.

The power those at the top hold far exceeds any king or emperor throughout humanities history.

Detecting what is AI and what is good writing is easier than ever now that the AI common speech patterns are established. Reading a well written piece it’s like walking through the park on a beautiful day in comparison to dragging your legs through quicksand

They won the power also

Yeah I wouldn’t be so happy about that. He’s that dumb because he was chosen for the dumbness and plausible deniability

There are much more incidious actors behind the scenes doing corruption at levels we can’t fathom whole Donald is the blunt force tool absorbing all the attention and negative press with his goofy corruption

That’s the plan for … capitalism

Buckle up boys

the economy has mathematically gotten better yes.

economic _hope_ is at its worst in the entire history of the human civilization. At what point did the future for the average person, look so bleak? And

that hope is what dictactes wether people have children.

Even during the great depression, people were more hopeful that the earth isnt completely hosed.

Does anyone honestly feel like _any_ improvements are possible to: our economic systems, political systems, environment? I certainly dont.

if anything modern humans' most emergent quality is their inability to deal with any serious problem.

We're just going to pretend it doesnt exist until it kills us. and some will try to profit from it.

a human has motivation and agency.

An "AI" is a box which lies dormant until a human, with motivation and agency, enters a prompt into it.

A person or company can use it in a way where it might invent something. but at the end of the day, its a tool, and its actually not doing anything on its own.

Its not solving math problems, a mathetmatician is using it to solve math problems. Just cus OpenAI is acting like its AI is solving stuff, its really not. They're just paying people to use AI to hammer problems.

Personally I don’t want to see any image generated by AI as it is just all fluff and adds no value. A simple text saying you did the thing would be sufficient
