This is just the truth, where’s the meme?

We're at the stage in humor where instead of telling jokes, we're conditioning ourselves to laugh at an increasingly horrifying reality.

This is why grass roots is so important.i struggle to believe in anything that isn't bottom up motivated.

I mean if AI keeps getting neutered with misinformation and refusing to use science because it might hurt someone's feelings then that panel is certainly a reality

Is AI really being handicapped that badly? I mean I knew certain topics were blocked off with the biggest public chat bots, but the machine learning data is still there, no?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it really is

If it says anything that the current message doesn't agree with it will scrap all of that data

Feed it a bunch of scientific journals but then it says there are 2 genders? Scrap it all, no science for you

Feed it crime data and it starts noticing patterns that we don't like knowing? Scrap it all, data is misinformation

That's why I just laugh at people who say it'll take over jobs

Well, to be fair, it is being fed data made by humans, so realistically its conclusions will be made likely following the ideas of past human inputs, no?

And if those results are ideas that the creators would rather not progress with, shouldn’t they cull the outdated ones?

I’m not speaking to any topics in particular, but the concept of AI creators shaping their creations. After all, if an AI told you the world was flat, wouldn’t you want to change its data to prevent it from producing results speaking so?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah feeding it facts and statistics

shouldn’t they cull the outdated ones?

No they shouldn't at all. Do you not learn from mistakes or understand how propaganda works?

. After all, if an AI told you the world was flat,

It won't, it is fed scientific data. Which is what the modern woke don't like, it may mention that we used to think the world was flat and how we discovered that not to be the case and people can ask all sorts of questions and it should be able to answer but if we did what they are doing and what you want because being short sighted is popular, is that it won't be able to answer why it isn't, why we thought it was and how we came to the scientifically backed conclusion that it is round.

That's the problem with modern woke politics. It's just "our way or you're a bigotaistphobe" no learning or backing up claims just "this is our truth"

To be fair, if I was a billionaire and I had the choice of helping ordinary people or doing something awesome, I would definitely pick to do something awesome. I respect Bill Gates for fighting malaria, but I would go for spaceships or robots.

But if it's something awesome marketed towards saving humanity then do something actually awesome and impactful instead of distracting bullshit like hyperloops and Mars colonies on unrealistic time-frames and self-driving cars instead of public transportation. Endless talk and grand gestures when these people have the resources to really drive improvements/innovations in achievable realistic projects.

By going into work sick so that I can reduce my workplace's carbon emissions for a few days

Lol it's not virtue signaling it's malicious compliance. My workplace has vacation and sick days pull from the same incredibly small pool. They're also very anti work from home. So since I've explained the problem and was told to just take vacation time when I'm sick, I decided to just not "be sick" and explain the problem when it comes up next
