Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.
And now you’re here to defend Mozilla waste by suggesting there are people who totally wanted it. (Are they in the room with you right now?)
FauxLiving, harmburgler, Avid Amoeba, and CyberSeeker are discussing it in positive terms elsewhere in this very thread. 𝕸𝖔𝖘𝖘 had a more cautiously open view. So yes, they are in the “room” with us right now.
Since you care about upvotes, note that many of my comments here have garnered a decent number of those too.
What’s contradictory? A lot of people in that thread about AI capabilities were in denial. A lot of other people are making apocalyptic statements.
See that “other people” thing? Different people have different opinions and react differently. That’s the point I’m making here, too. Not everyone hates this AI tool that Mozilla has put out.
In other words, “don’t have an opinion about AI that’s different from mine.”
Okay, so you only want to say things that are popular within a community, and you consider people who say things that are unpopular to be “trolls” that should be excluded from that community.
This is what makes social media into self-reinforcing information bubbles and leads people to be out of touch with the general public. Like this Thunderbolt tool - if “nobody asked for this”, as another commenter in this thread said, why do you think it was made? There’s actually a lot of demand for AI tools in the real world but communities like this one create narratives that convinced themselves that it’s all some kind of delusional grift with unclear motives. When someone like me comes along that challenges that narrative, ooh, troll. Downvote and drive out! And you wonder why everyone left seems to agree?
You should really just block me if you don’t want to hear my views. I suppose you could report me to the mods if you think I’ve actually broken any rules, but that normally requires a bit more backing it up than just disagreeing with my opinion or thinking it’s unpopular. Otherwise you’re just going to waste your time and make yourself unhappy.
You care about Karma points? On the Fediverse, even?
If it’s his “lower human horn” then he’s watched Futurama.
Really, you’re going to follow me around calling me a troll? That’s sadder than being a troll.
Oh no, they wrote a free program that you don’t want to use.
UnitedHealthcare didn’t seem to have difficulty.
Or opened its backdoor.
CEOs are easily replaceable.
I think the online rhetoric around AI has been way more apocalyptic than the more vague and abstract political stuff. So Trump raped some kids, that’s really bad but that’s not something people feel the need to go out and risk their lives over.
But data centers are going to steal all your water and there will be killbots patrolling the streets? All jobs will be taken away and everyone will be reduced to serfs or killed as surplus population? Drum that into a sufficiently mentally fragile subset of the population long and hard enough and you’ll get them worked up enough to feel like they need to strike first.
Ask Uber how the actions of their employees and contractors aren’t their responsibility.
Emphasis added.
Sheesh, you’re still obsessing over me? What a sad and pointless life you lead.
“More room for deniability” doesn’t mean “perfect universal deniability.”
I don’t see how this distinction affects the question of responsibility at all. If anything, “it’s an employee” gives the company more room for deniability.
There’s been a spate of Discord-based hacking attempts lately, two of my friends have had to do this. They can’t get their old accounts back, Discord is basically just ignoring them. Starting new accounts is easy.
The hard part is that they also lost their gmail accounts, that’s a lot more important for most people to be able to recover. I recommend everyone with a gmail account do the “create an emergency recovery code” thing, print it out and store it somewhere safely off anything digital.
The bed just keeps getting comfier and comfier over time.
That’ll take too long. Eat it five bites at a time.
I ignored the first half of your statement because it was just pointless badmouthing of me.
I’m ignoring the rest of your comment because it’s a weird goalpost shift. Why would Mozilla ask a bunch of random people on the Fediverse what they want? You’re upset because they didn’t personally ask you what to do?
