Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Feeling particularly doomed about AI. Does anyone have any ideas on how we "beat" it? Feels like it will totally destroy the job market and stuff like sexbots will further isolate people and cause population collapse. Honestly I feel optimistic about almost everything else going on expect AI. How is humanity going to deal with it? Do the Whitehats have a plan?
A lot of these fears are just like when robotics was first developed. We survived that and we will survive this, because in the end, no matter what tect you develop, humans are still humans and can do stuff that no tech can do.
we do not need to beat it
AI is part of breaking the lie of academia. AI is part of ending the system of wage slaving and debt
When you realize a shitty ai engine can replace overpaid architects, middle managers, bureaucrats, and a million jobs whose only qualifications are meaningless degrees, you realize how the entire concept of work in current society is a lie
Think of it..how for decades the propaganda has been STEM STEM STEM from early age..
No civics, no philosophy, no critical thinking, no art, no logic. Just hard set skills and "Return of investment" education
Which means that the current crop of young people are easily replaceable by AI, because the AI will out compute them every single day. Talk to anyone in tech support and they will tell you the most clueless callers are all gen z. Never seen a command line, don't know the control panel, can't even navigate a settings menu on a phone. Before older people were more tech illiterate and now somehow it is college students who are useless in a real workplace.
The AI can not replace an actual creative or an actual thinker...good ol human common sense instantly becomes way more valuable. The learn to code npc or airhead ditz who somehow is a masters in biology is immediately replaced by an autist or a real geek.
Trust..all of this is just part of setting us all free
Because they don’t talk back?
