Spotify is a music streaming service with subscription fees generating recurring revenue, it would be fine in a world without an investor class obsessed with infinite growth. Uber is to taxis what crypto is to banks, essentially exploiting a gap in regulations to undercut an existing market.
“AI” is a solution desperately looking for a problem to justify all the money and resources being wasted on it.
Information should be free. Don’t feel bad because someone abused something good towards a bad end.
The problem here isn’t archives, it’s “AI” and the people behind it.
Capitalism, shortsighted? Say it ain’t so!
Nah nah, that’s not cruel or honest enough. “Why should we save them? They deserve to overdose for being an addict! Has anybody seen my coffee order?”
Except the EU who did but apparently Trump didn’t know about it until a reporter asked him. Only the best people.
They do, but how many times do you need to stop someone from touching a hot stove before you let them learn their lesson the hard way?
As someone who has the misfortune to live in a rural area, it’s high time that we a society (those of us who actually WANT a society) recognize that a good portion of the people who make up that rural population are utterly lost. They need to be left behind before they drag all of us down with them. It’s not nice, it’s not pretty, but we cannot and will not have any kind of functional union again until we cut out this rot that allowed the Trump government into power.
That’s an entirely different conversation, and a strawman to boot. You clearly aren’t interested in actually discussing this. I can show you study after study proving that a bias exists against equally skilled applicants with an “ethnic sounding” name, but why bother, you’re not serious and I’m done engaging with you.
You should really ask yourself why you see raising up one group as necessarily lowering another. One doesn’t follow from the other.
Being able to admit that certain groups are systemically disadvantaged and wanting to do something about it is literally the opposite of racism, what are you talking about?
Here’s a crazy take, maybe water shouldn’t be privately owned.
And, this cannot be overstated, fucking stupid.
Not that you’re wrong, but you can clearly see Bing in the screenshot lol.
I completely sympathize with your frustration, but when it comes to your average cell phone user they absolutely do not know what they’re doing. Signed, someone who manages cell phones for an entire hospital and wishes he didn’t.
Spotify provides a real, tangible service. I pay for access to music I get access to music.
What service does an LLM actually provide? They can’t be relied on for accurate information, they can’t reason, the only thing they seem to be able to do is psychologically manipulate their users. That makes money now, but in six months? A year? We’re already seeing usage fall despite some of the wealthiest companies on the planet burning unfathomable amounts of money.
