  You what saves water? Setting fires in orphanages. In today’s Ted talk we’re going to outline ways how orphans use up water that could be better used on chunguses. Big Chunguses. Chungodes. Hayden, what’s the plural for Chungus and without that word were going to struggle grammatically and I’m not sure we can advance without it

      This made me realize that it would be really hard to distinguish between a satirical NDT quote and something I have earnestly and profoundly thought to myself while 2 edibles into a nature documentary. And I’m not sure how to feel about that.

  it’s great that one of the main dicks in charge of AI uses pants-on-head stupid not-logic to justify taking water away from literally everything else for a thing that doesn’t work, but still steals jobs

    If we restructured society in a way that makes increases in efficiency benefit everyone I’d be fine with such things. The difference here is, however, that we don’t live in such a society and that LLMs aren’t actually useful or better at work that people are, it’s just that managers and CEOs think they are. They will realize this in a few years after most of their software is fucked over and they’ll have to hire actual developers to fix it.

    • snooggums@piefed.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The problem is we want increases in efficiency that benefit 99% of people but the 1% want the opposite and can override everyone else.

    • Juice@midwest.social ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Taylorist production has been tried, yielded objectively better results than the old production methods, and they were still scrapped. Workers wouldn’t adapt to more efficient production methods without more pay, and it necessitates worker-managers to train other workers. Since the owners of the factory refuse to pay workers more, so it’s DOA.

      Capitalism isn’t rational, and can not become rational. “Increasing efficiency” means firing workers, not improving production. I know you maybe aren’t arguing for more efficient capitalism, just saying it has been tried. Taylorism is the Esperanto of production. “Increasing efficiency,” to the capitalists, means firing people, not making the system more rational.

    If it’s stealing real jobs, perhaps it is time you should reconsider the ‘doesn’t work’ perspective.

      just because companies are trying to replace humans with AI doesn’t mean AI is “working”

      i would say i hope this all underscores how little employers ever actually give a shit about their employees, but that would be wishful thinking. not only are they not capable of giving less of a shit about you, but they’re also gullible enough to jump on this AI bandwagon that they grasp no understanding of beyond what they’re told by the people con men selling it to them

      It appears to be working, to execs and CEOs. But this will eventually be a problem when you are missing skilled workers who can handle things AI cannot.

  I can’t tell if this is real or not. It sounds ridiculous, but he does say some ridiculous things (like how millions of years of humanity have consumed more energy than four years of data centers…). But this just seems so comically ridiculous that I have trouble believing it.

  This is why I hate when people fail to make it clear when something is satire. When people get used to doubting everything they see, then suddenly when someone really does say something comically ridiculous no one believes it.

  I’ll point it out from time to time and people will say “it’s just a meme, don’t take it so seriously.” But we’re supposed to be the rational and intellectually honest ones, no?

  So why cultivate a meme culture where we can be just as misleading and deceitful as the fascists? This isn’t a fire-with-fire situation. Their goal is to rob us of our humanity; if we stoop to their level, they win.

  Even if he really did say this, my point stands, because of the simple fact that it’s hard to believe at face value due to the prevalence of misleading memes. There’s a line between disinformation and satire. Honest memes should make it clear which side of that line they fall on.

  • wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    What he said was that training humans takes a lot of water too, in defense of AI. This is a shitpost take on that.

    source

    • wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Okay, but nowhere on the post does it say “the onion,” “satire,” “parody,” or “spoof.” It’s presented as if it’s news, “BREAKING:”

      My point is that if we make it impossible to tell the difference at a glance, then we’re cultivating this mindset that whenever you see a post where an out-of-touch billionaire says something ludicrous, your reaction is to think “well it must be fake, no one would ever say that.”

      And then when it’s about something that someone really did say, such as the “millions of years of human evolution consumed more energy than a data center does in four years” crap, people are less likely to believe it when they see it as a headline.

      It’s also easier to search for something someone did say, than to search for something they did not say.

  Stupid orphans hogging all of that water, they should bring a lawsuit against them for endangering the supply needed for ai in having their place get on fire. It won’t win but they can’t pay for lawyers to defend it and they will go our of solvency and have to be dissoluted.

  Now why do the courts let the rich file cases that have no merit to force people that haven’t done wrong to pay millions of dollars indefinitely to defend themselves from bad faith allegations by shitty abusive rich people? Because fuck you, that’s why. Any more questions? /s
