You can’t say there isn’t anything to it. But for sure I agree it isn’t the whole story.

He is a drunk that does this a lot. It doesn’t deserve an article.

Half the world doesn’t think that.

Lukashenko sold his country and nation to the horror and suffering that is Russia.

I doubt everyone will be on board with this.

Of course. The other side is doing it, why shouldn’t they? It was a big mistake to not let them in the first place. Many many people are dead because of it.

Gaza is calling for trump to be elected?

Or what else did you mean?

Are you a troll or really that stupid?

For sure, I agree. Much respect to chomsky, a great man that influenced a lot of people for good, but I don’t think he would mind a jab from me on this relatively obscure social network 🙂.

For sure. I have much respect for the man and everything he has done. The reason I stopped having him in the highest regard is not that he got some stuff wrong, but that I started taking him as academic in the sense that his view is limited by the direction of his studies. I don’t think he has a deep grasp on how the world works, because he has spent more than half a century preaching the same stuff. I don’t think he is the kind of man, who can step away from his work and say there is more to global politics than American hegemony, if I can exaggerate a bit. The are certain grey areas and paradoxes in the world that chomsky tries to rationalize, but fails to notice how incredibly subjective his academic viewpoint is.

What I resented recently was his comments on Ukraine, where he couldn’t get out of his skin and immediately tried to put invasion of Ukraine into context of American wars. He should have been completely aware that that is exactly what the worst of Russian propagandists are saying. Ok, he is really old now, but Geez.

Anyway, incredible body of work of great importance.

He is making it easy to discredit with comments he made even about Ukraine.

Don’t get me wrong, I still really respect the man, but as I got older, I see him as an academic. I don’t see him as someone who can explain how the world really works.

Which one is that. I guess I’ve been left out of the loop.

I really adored chomsky when I was a teen. Is he sort of a teen idol everyone grows out when they get older?

It’s not comparable. This is not just something, it’s a tech we want, have dreamed about since probably ever.

It’s not that simple. Lots of stuff is extremely bad for the environment but we still do them. All of us.

I agree, but I think there is no around this forcing down the throat, slashing people in favour of barely functioning product. Don’t get me wrong, I wish it was done the right and fair way, but realistically no one with any power wants it done in a fair way.

There is a lot of blind hate, because it’s edgy right now to be against.

This thing already is transformational and we can already see a glimpse where it’s going. I think it’s normal that we have a bunch of stupid half products right now. People just have to realise ai is under development and new advancements are coming weekly.

Besides, what are we going to do, not develop it? Just abandon the whole technology? That’s nonsense.

I think we are in the beginning phases of ai. It has already changed how we do many things, but we are still looking how to use the tech, how to integrate it, how to make products. All while the tech is rapidly evolving.

Lol. I can’t believe that even in this case all the shits in the world decided to go into this together.

More strawmen.

I think your should stop believing in flat earth! That is such a stupid belief! You are stupid for believing it.

So all your points are “nu-uh”.

You know very well that’s not true as you have contradicted yourself a few times already.

Show me a single product that is even close to being worth the investment.

Are we talking about money now? I thought we were talking about how its all a scam that’s harming humanity.

Where?

Coding, writing, marketing, graphic design, …

Writing boilerplate articles without content for dying news outlets?

Cant you see stuff you are saying? Thats really emotional stuff, its clouding your rationale.

And where are all those great graphic design products? You mean those cool images of Trump riding a laser velociraptor?

Yes, that as well. But mainly small tasks that used to be menial and now they are practically gone. Ideas, retouching, photo manipulations,…

Yes. Also, Metaverse, blockchain, etc. Ever heard of the dotcom bubble? Same pattern.

Thats pretty naive. Dotcom bubble has nothing to do with it. A completely different thing.

Hard doubt. Because the number one virtue of a scientist is to know the limitations of their subject. So either you’re not actually a researcher, or a really bad one.

I don’t care. Plus I already said I’m not a researcher. I work at a company that does ai research.

You are so emotionally charged. I don’t know if its only your hate of AI, or if you want to somehow win over me in this conversation. Its pointless. AI already helps a lot of people in an incredible amount of ways. Some of them were mentioned in the comments. Its not serious to call them scams and I don’t know what else you said. Its not serious. I think its better to end this exchange. I must say I like talking to people with different views, but it has to be in good faith and I don’t see that here with all the generalizations.
