Oh hell yes!

Now to get off this third world Internet (Northern California)

Very easy to tell if someone knows what they wrote about in a two minute conversation. My wife grades/t.a’s at a university, it’s obvious when someone doesn’t know the information in person (and she’s very understanding towards people who cannot verbalize the information but still know it). The old professors aren’t very keen to it, but the graders can very easily smell the bullshit.

And if you know the information well enough, but send it through gpt for editing/refinement, that’s usually accepted, unless you’re in a class that grades on composition.

That’s the crux of my statement, yes.

AI doesn’t scare me.

How people respond to it scares me

And that it’s being prepared to drive/copilot government agencies scares the everliving shit out of me.

Now I’m frightened to my core.

AI doesn’t scare me.

People making decisions off of AI scare me.

The government mandating people use AI to make decisions frightens me to my core.

That would get them regulated, they’re only going after the “correct” “bad people”

That was my thought, nobody in their right mind (least of all paranoid rich people) would use a third party service that requires them to announce they’re someone of value.

Idiocracy was prophetic, just way too optimistic in the timeline.

I can see you! Near the top of my lemmy.world feed (I believe, I’m pretty new to all this as well)

Congratulations on getting your instance up!

“streaming is worse than cable now” is it though?

I stream for weeks on end without a single ad, watching only what I want. I go to an older person’s house and I hear the same friggin commercial jingles, the same canned studio laughter, and shows that are designed for the stupidest common denominator.

I grew up in the era of Saturday morning cartoons. My brain was liquidified on cereal commercials. I won’t allow cable into my house under any circumstances.

But I do agree that we should learn from too easily replacing the working with the next big thing without any regulations on how the next big thing is allowed to operate

It’s as if this headline were written to stir discussion on lemmy.

I was the perfect target for the service, the wife and I went as far as downloading the app to get telemetry from our house, we were like 20% covered and decided to hold off just a little while longer. Then musk went jacking it on the corner in San Diego levels crazy, we pay just about as much for our current Internet (and it’s mobile hotspot backup plan in case the internet goes out and we have vital work that needs to be done, or I need some low latency gaming time) which is 5 mb/s on its best days, and we’re very happy to not be supporting that Russian stooge.
