    I didn’t think your point was as shallow as “different people can have different opinions”

    I fail to see how this invalidates that someone can hold both the position that current AI is a waste of electricity and pumping out garbage while pointing out the potential social and economic disruption of future iterations of the technology.

    If your point was simply that some people hold one position, others hold the other, and others still hold both. Then… thanks? I think we can also call this a waste of electricity.

      hey i’m running on solar and battery so no waste of electricity here ;)

      but yeah that was it, i just noticed how here and on mastodon i read ‘ai is a scam’ and then turn my head and read ‘ai will take all our jobs’, makes for a nice whiplash effect

      also it’s 4am here i’m going to sleep, appreciate the chat
