@tante@tldr.nettime.org Really tired of hearing tech-bros saying things like "We'll just ask AI to solve our climate problems"... AI data centers ARE the climate problem.

@remixtures@tldr.nettime.org “There is no established solution against deskilling right now..." And there's not going to be. Or if there is, it will be challenged. They want you dependent on it.

@evacide@hachyderm.io Do you think Meta actually cared about talking to you or do you think they did it just so they could say they did?

@Strandjunker They actually are doing their jobs. Most media is owned by large corporations. Large corporations love Trump. They are being paid to water things down.

@evacide@hachyderm.io Sounds like a good start. And Loius Rossman has some good ways to push back:

@evacide@hachyderm.io I'm sick of their "you're in control of what data you share" line. No you're not. It's proprietary software. You have no idea what's going on under the hood. All they did was code up some graphics that show options as "off." It still sends everything.

@randahl@mastodon.social This is how Elon's stumbling answer about "collective consciousness" struck me.
Just as 30-40 trillion cells all come together to create one human being, several billion people also can come together to create one "Earth-entity". Of course there are different kinds of cells: skin cells, blood cells, brain cells, etc.
He loves the idea of considering himself a brain cell because the brain controls the body. He thinks he should do the "thinking" for us.
He strives to answer non-arrogantly

@geerlingguy@mastodon.social AI slop feels like the new spam. Kind of like how in the early 2000's, spam was everywhere. Nobody wanted it, it still persisted, so we developed spam filters. Now we need AI filters... Yay..

@petergleick@fediscience.org I feel like it's not so much a lack of backbone. I think they think they will reap some benefits of this.

@pheonix@hachyderm.io I think you hit the nail on the head. 2020 was when the pandemic lockdown stuff began. We were all stuck in our homes and the economy was stressed. That's probably why there was an emphasis on monetizing things you can do at home.

@fschaap@mastodon.social I moved my parents over to Linux a few years ago. No problems. All they ever really did was call up a web browser. That's pretty OS-independent. The things that differentiate Windows from Linux are lost on them, so might as well give them an OS that has no spyware.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org Meta, Microsoft and Google are all pushing AI as hard as they can. That right there speaks for itself.
