  • Cardinal Scum: Lord Google! Our Premium service is only making 8.5 Billion net profit per year, a miserable increase of 25% from last year!

    Lord Google: These peasant eyeballs have disappointed me. Force the plebians to ingest propaganda as in the olden times! And as for the so-called-Premium subs . . . we will crush their purchasing power!

    Cardinal Scum: Yes Lord Google! Brilliant!

    Lord Google: Muwahhahahahahah!!!

    Cardinal Scum: (hesitantly) Heh heh . . hee heee heeh hehehehh yesssss . . yes









  • It’s the same situation, just writ large. Dumb human decisions to put AI where it shouldn’t be. Heck, you can put it in charge of the nuclear missles now if you want to. Don’t. Though. That’d be really, really stupid.

    Part of my knee-jerk dislike of the AI hype is that it’s glorified text completion. It doesn’t know shit. It only knows the % chance of your saying the next word. AGI is not happening anytime soon and all this is techbro theatre for the sake of money.

    Anyone who reads a wall of bland generated text and thinks we’re about to talk to god is seriously mistaken.
