The Dredge Tank
The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
But you're here defending it. China may be researching this tech, but as far as I know, they aren't deploying it willy-nilly for any techbro to just swoop in and start making spam bots.
A major element in this "AI" fad is that it's not actually artificial intelligence. It's a label that gets applied for marketing purposes. If we want to get into material analysis, we need to look at what's actually happening and not what we think might happen in the future. And what's actually happening is already existing tech is getting a rebrand to justify using up more resources.
I think we agree on several fundamental points, such as the inefficiency of current AI applications and the problematic capitalist motivations driving much of its development.
That being said, completely dismissing the technology because of its current misuse may prevent us from exploring and identifying genuinely valuable applications. For instance, in research and industrial settings, AI has shown promise in optimizing processes, reducing waste, and performing complex data analysis. These are areas where the potential benefits might rightly justify the resource expenditure. China's approach, which includes heavy state involvement and regulation, might offer some insights.
Let's focus on creating specific and actionable plans that address the root issues rather than being caught in the binary of defense vs. criticism.
Yours seem to involve concern trolling people for being concerned, implying that it's wrong somehow to express negative feelings about the damned things, as though your own feelings on the subject are lofty, logical, and enlightened by default.
What I'm advocating for is a more nuanced conversation that goes beyond the binary of "it's all bad" vs. "it's all good." Expressing frustration and concerns is absolutely valid.
Bullshit. If that was your intention you'd drop the concern trolling about what I'm posting (especially when it doesn't even concern you, or at least I have to assume it doesn't, like dunking on which is a fun thing to do on a leftist shitposting forum) and do that instead of trying to attack the character of people that don't like the industrial, environmental, social, and energy problems of treat printers under capitalism.
