    In the 1950s, Isaac Asimov predicted that eventually, nearly everything on Earth would be automated, leading to mass unemployment. He then predicted that the “excess population” would move to other star systems, which served 3 purposes: reducing unemployment on earth, providing a meaningful existence for the extrasolar colonists, and spreading humanity throughout the galaxy.

      The thing that is actively destroying our planet in the pursuit of profits? That only exists through the theft and destruction of the creative works of others? Which is responsible for atrophying the critical thinking skills of the population? Yeah. Yeah I’d say it’s bad.

        actively destroying our planet

        Hey, my little GTX 3070ti is only passively destroying the planet.

        That only exists through the theft and destruction of the creative works of others?

        No, I use models trained on public domain and open source works. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm

        Which is responsible for atrophying the critical thinking skills of the population?

        I’ve been learning so much about microelectronics, soldering, voltage, current, components, programming, libraries, that I never would have been able to learn before, because I need to be able to ask a million tiny stupid questions, because I’m just that autistic. Before, I’d need to wait a few hours for someone on Stack Overflow to tell me it’s already been asked, and then link to the wrong answer.

        There’s a reason you’ve been trained to knee-jerk hate AI, who benefits?

          The fuck does this mean? We’re being screamed at to love AI and use it for everything.
