um................... can i help you

[redstonedust]

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.

Neural Nets have existed for decades and are genuinely useful. It's a form of AI that recognizes patterns, and can do stuff like identify cancer cells, tell whether an egg is fertilized or not, detect fraud, and optimize routes.

Those are Expert Systems, tuned to do exactly one thing. If you (say) ask a medical expert system a question about financial law, it's useless. The autopilot that flies a 787 has no idea how to drive a truck on the freeway. A Coulter Counter is excellent at identifying lymphocytes in a blood sample but can't predict the next card in a blackjack game.

And so on.

The problem with so-called generalized AI (AGI) is that we don't have that yet. It doesn't exist. It MIGHT some day, but AGI has been "10 years away" since the 1980s. The goals keep moving as we learn more about how people and machines process data.

But the current crop of AI techbros have been selling generative Large Language Model AI (LLM) as AGI because generative systems do a good job of faking it. There's no actual thought going on, merely the illusion of thought via predicting the next word in a sentence accurately.

If you let a human toddler listen to 800 hours of YouTube car influencer videos, that toddler might end up sounding like a car influencer. They'd parrot horsepower numbers and 0 to 60 times, mention EV range and MSRP numbers.

But they wouldn't understand any of it.

That's ChatGPT.

And yeah, it's worse than useless because it doesn't even know when it's lying or hallucinating. It just babbles convincingly until you stop it.

But for techbros to make money selling that as "AI"? It's the perfect scam, especially if you don't understand how it works.

I fucking hate it.

Why is there a diarrhea parasite outbreak in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to disease prevention and control.

Why is measles back in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including RFK Jr, cut vaccine and measles prevention funding and programs.

Why is the New World Screwworm infecting cattle in Texas, when it had previously been eliminated from the area?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Elon Musk, cut USAID funding, which in part worked to monitor and prevent screwworm outbreaks.

Why was there a flu outbreak in our armed forces?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Pete Hegseth, cut vaccination requirements for our armed forces, putting all of them at risk alongside our military readiness.

What contributed to the Covid outbreak?

Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to a pandemic prevention program in his first term because Barack Obama had created it.

“America first” sends its regards. Trump voters, please learn your lesson. And if you don’t, it’ll be taught to you again with yet another diarrhea outbreak.

Bowuigi fic where Bowser kidnaps Luigi to get leverage - either to keep Mario from interrupting his plans and/or force Peach to accept his marriage proposals. Something like that.

BUT before he can say this, when Mario arrives he goes "BOWSER YOU CANNOT DATE-A MY BROTHER!" bc his pure himbo energy just decided that CLEARLY Bowser has kidnapped Luigi for the same reasons he kidnaps Peach. Obviously.

AND before Bowser can correct him, LUIGI yells "AND-A WHY NOT?!! YOU CANNOT TELL-A ME WHO I'M ALLOWED TO DATE!!"

Cue Mario and Luigi vehemently arguing amongst each other about this, while Bowser stands there very confused in the background. ("I'm allowed to make-a my own decisions!" "It's-a BOWSER you can do so much-a better!!" "I'M STANDING RIGHT HERE")

Luigi wasn't even planning on deciding to accept Bowser's proposal (both brothers have a single braincell and they think 'Bowser kidnaps you = he wants to marry you', neither even think that there could be a secondary reason, lol) BUT he's a little brother and the SECOND Mario says he can't do something he has to. It's the little brother energy in him.

Bowser at this point doesn't even know how to correct them without it coming off awkward for EVERYONE involved. He TRIES but when he says that's not it, Mario is like "Bowser, you-a KIDNAPPED him" and that's kind of hard to argue the semantics. Especially now that Peach has arrived and is congratulating him for moving on??? (WHEN DID SHE ARRIVE AND WHY?!)

Bowser isn't sure how it happened but he's pretty sure he's dating Luigi now and he doesn't know where to go from this. He goes back to his castle and tries to talk about it to Kamek to get some advice on how to fix this situation, but all KAMEK says is "You DID kidnap him, sire."

They wind up getting married.

(Kamek knew this wasn't the original plan but he decided it was both funny enough and a good way to get him to stop kidnapping a princess who had no interest in him that he just decided to go with it. It worked out so he considers it a win.)

Two dudes in my group chat have been playing league & slowly but surely have shifted from saying "wanna play league of legends" to "wanna play some geego legends". At this point their average post is just @ing the other and going "geegogagand?" and I feel insane
