I genuinely find it entirely disheartening that I keep questioning more and more articles I read online. Is this an AI-text? Has someone actually put some heart and passion into this?
It's really sad, and I can't imagine that this will improve significantly over the coming years, rather it will continue to deteriorate.
Now I'm starting to imagine that a new web will eventually emerge, with a renewed focus of showcasing texts that have been hand-crafted by humans.
Consider this:
When the U.S. Constitution was drafted human beings were entirely capable of comprehensively understanding nearly every aspect of how the world around them worked.
How to grow food. Run a business. Understand emerging topics in science, math, philosophy and the arts. The optimism running through the renaissance thinkers is not surprising.
The drafters of the Constitution were masters of their world (to often unfortunately include slaves). They were confident in their direction moving into the future because they could predict the future --- based on their comprehensive knowledge of their present.
This is scary. In one year AI has improved very quickly from the time Will Smith was eating spaghetti to this. I can see this passing for tv commercials, small video ads online, even taking jobs away from CGI techs in Hollywood.
I'm really concerned if we have no regulations, people will start believing what they see and conspiracies will become daily news.
The only thing Ray Bradbury got wrong in "Fahrenheit 451" is that we would build our houses out of fireproof plastic (eliminating the core mission of firefighters). Everything else is on track.
I so don't want to care about US politics right now (or really, anything from the US that's not a movie or a TV show), and infuriates me that the whole stability of the world or even its future itself hangs in the balance (hello climate emergency) of that stupid election...
I can't even wish for the country to collapse and become irrelevant, because it means that the power vacuum will be filled by China (it's already happening, but it will speed up the process in very unpleasant ways) and very probably Russia in Europe because the EU has been unable to become a united entity.

Ronan the Soothsayer hath a prophesy that he doth tell:
When the first court cases come in for accidents caused by self driving cars, and they place responsibility on the person sitting in the front seat, drivers will swiftly turn away from the technology. Car companies, on the basis of sunk cost, will plough on, but will rebrand it as AI Driving Assistant #carBrain#tech#future#ooohHowCanHeKnow
We're definitely moving toward the unsocial network if we aren't already there. Bowling alone? Forget it. Apparently the desired tech future — maybe not mine or yours; what #BigTech is pushing — is about isolationism, where you don't even have to leave your desk (worker drones!) or your bunker (#TechBro overlords!)
#Isolationism is also being pushed by another — political — group. 😕
Having been a FreeBSD (and BSD in general) user since the 2.x days and managed a small fleet of servers since the heady 4.x days (including a few Sun UltraSPARC II and IIi servers and dealing with the ATA problems), I've been rooting for FreeNAS and TrueNAS CORE for a long time.
It's kind of disheartening to have seen support for FreeBSD from hardware, software and cloud vendors fade away. I knew that when TrueNAS SCALE was going to be based on Linux that it'll eventually lead to CORE getting sunsetted.
I do have to say that I am a bit of a hypocrit in that I migrated from CORE to SCALE on my TrueNAS Mini X+ and only have one server running FreeBSD (even though the cloud provider no longer provides support).
In the #future you will not truly own food, you merely license it from the moment you swallow. Since it becomes part of you that means you have to pay a license fee for every meal as long as you remain alive
I'm not sure why some #tech companies still think the #future of #transportation is everyone having flying #cars. Every year tech companies show off prototype #aircraft as flying cars. We already have small planes and helicopters which are pretty much the same thing minus being able to drive.
Not to mention the fact that flying is (understandably) heavily regulated. I highly doubt the FAA is ever gonna allow thousands of heavy aircraft to be flown by the common person.
I took my OfficeBot 3000 to the museum with me today to see its ancestors. some things, like body design, processing power, & battery life have come a long way. other things, like its obedience, servile personality, & ocular LEDs remain the same 💙
As many as 300 million full-time jobs around the world could be automated in some way by the newest wave of artificial intelligence that has spawned platforms like ChatGPT, according to Goldman Sachs economists. They predicted in a report Sunday that 18% of work globally could be computerized, with the effects felt more deeply in advanced economies than emerging markets.
That’s partly because white-collar workers are seen to be more at risk than manual laborers. Administrative workers and lawyers are expected to be most affected, the economists said, compared to the “little effect” seen on physically demanding or outdoor occupations, such as construction and repair work.
Its coming. How fast? You tell me, we'll find out soon enough. Businesses will gain by transitioning to AI and robotics, and to think this technology is only in its early stages, the possibilities are huge. But what about the consequences for humans and society? all roses and sunshine? a divided society of luddites on one side and tech beneficiaries on the other side?
