It took me a few thought cycles to put down that question.
In my understanding, we, as a civilization, are on a high wire number over a pit of knifes. The AI craze is full throtle as we speak, with conflicting indicators that it may/will cause the worst economical crash ever - becoming third in less than twenty years, where each was always reported as an unprecedented and irrepeatable event - while at the same time infiltrating companies in ways we are still to discover how ruinous may prove and spreading over the internet like a grotesque parasite, rendering services unsuable and leaking sensible data.
If the great AI companies tank (I can only hope) and the services they provide - whatever those may be - faill, how much is it going to affect companies? There is really no sense of consensus; some say it was the best thing ever, others are registering neglictable improvements, others failed miserably and had to return to the original state of affairs.
Then there is the constant attack from agents on the net, rendering websites, more or less important, more or less useable or stealing, destroying or corrupting valueable data.
I’ve reached a point where I am willing to forego internet and even computers. Even technology in a wide sense. At best, I may keep an air gapped machine, to use for writing and printing documents. But will others do it? And if so, will 8t happen in an organic fashion or will things devolve to a point where something cracks and things just get ugly? Because people are tired. Tired of datacenters popping up like poisonous mushrooms everywhere, destroying everything.
People are getting tired. Everywhere.
Only thing that is wrong with me is my opinion is different than yours and you find that intolerable, and yeah if that’s how you think the world should be, entirely a reflection of your own ego, it will forever regressive in your eyes, because it’s framed entirely in terms of you alone.
No, I’m convinced by biologists and psychologists… last I checked some biology professor make 80K at a university is among the least greedy type of person there is. But please tell me how all academic reserach is tainted or something because you can trace the funding back to some billionaire who donated to their uni the work at?
I’m perfect happy with my life, thanks. Seems like you are not happy with yours though and feel the need to project that lack of control via the internet? Personally I am not impacted by ‘people with infinite greed’, so much as I am by my neighbors across the street who demand my city lower taxes so the can buy a 5th SUV who think I’m the problem because I want higher taxes and only own one car.
Regardless, you are so blinded by your rage you don’t even understand what I said, which is kind of hilarious. Greed has nothing to do with it. People are lazy, all animals are.
