FaceDeer
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.

FaceDeer@fedia.ioto Technology@lemmy.world•Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'53·1 day agoThere are better cryptocurrency options to Bitcoin now, including stabletokens that are specifically designed for this purpose. Hopefully they go to one of those instead.
FaceDeer@fedia.ioto Technology@lemmy.world•Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'6·1 day agoLong ago, I used to work for a small business that did most of its sales through eBay using PayPal. They were the single biggest impediment to our business, yoinking money away at the slightest excuse. It seemed like they just lived to screw us over.
It’s not the difference you think it is. Lots of people who use AI art generators don’t call themselves artists either. I certainly don’t, because I don’t care whether I’m called an artist. I just want the art.
I think you may be generalizing a stereotype.
This community where we’re discussing this right now is literally intended for following tech news. It is for people who follow tech news.
You are mistaking a specific kind of AI for all AI. That’s like saying a tulip isn’t a flower because you believe flowers are roses.
Jarvis is a fictional example of a kind of AI known as Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI.
Technology that allows us to do something we could not do before - such as create nuclear explosions, or propel metal slugs at extreme velocities, or design new viruses - unquestionably offer a benefit and don’t require discipline to integrate into our lives in a balanced manner?
The people who commission artists have no interest in being an artist; they simply want the product. Are people who commission artists also “slowly committing suicide?”
I think ego is an underestimated source for a lot of the anti-AI rage. It’s like a sort of culture-wide narcissism, IMO. We’ve spent millennia patting ourselves on the back about how special and unique human creativity is, and now a commodity graphics card can come up with better ideas than most people.
The term “AI” was established in 1956 at the Dartmouth workshop and covers a very broad range of topics in computer science. It definitely encompasses large language models.

You “believe” that they “seem” to be doing something else. Based on what?

That’s why OpenAI was so eager to move everyone onto it, it means more profit for them.
Whenever something on my computer tries to tell me I can’t do something with it.
