I dont think people are discussing AI enough, and the extreme dependence on a two or three mega-companies for software AND for hardware?
People never shut up about AI?
its almost always peddling how its great.
I mean, I dunno about your circles but from my end it’s been a constant topic of discussion ad nauseam.
There’s an entire anti-ai community on Lemmy (fuck ai). It shows up on my main page regularly.
The only thing people talk about more than AI is politics.
Even if AI is an enabling technology that solves many problems, it is also a potentially a horrific totalitarian tool. And the consumers must be protected. By this I mean, they must not be allowed to centralize too much and regional and local services established. And the consumers must have an offline PC, in which some services work detached from this thing. They can still use the services on some other PC. The purpose is to protect spaces for being human, centralization that i heard bezos wish for is the absolute worst scenario.
Make sure you are checking the all feed, because most of the anti-AI discussion happens on !fuck_ai@lemmy.world (then scroll past the first 4 pinned posts). It does spill to various technology communities as well. Locally only on our !pcgaming@lemmy.ca does AI become relevant.
or the fact that AI is being propped by govt as a surveillance tool, much like palintir is doing right now.
There’s a lot more of it on Mastodon than Lemmy, ime. Check out Mastodon
Things I never see posts about on Lemmy:
- Trump
- ICE
- Musk
- AI
Discussions about ai are all over; it’s makin me puke.
I can tell you that I am not entirely happy about AI myself. But we cannot “un-invent” it? So we must deal with it, unfortunately.
We can uninvent it. At least on the scale it’s currently being pushed. You just need regulations on the environmental impact. It completely undermines the technology.
