This isn't the future any of us wanted.

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

it's the future we allowed to happen.

I'm still fighting against it. I'll slow down and sabotage anything I can with AI.

The end game of all this is we sit at home living on our universal basic income and and AI runs our lives, it's all AI talking to AI. Except I'm not sure how we will eat, maybe a series of feeding tubes could be installed to each house to dispense the appropriate amount of food based on BMI and social status.

Would be great. Never going to happen in a capitalist society though. No private company is going to allow it to happen. So governments would have to make their own and outcompete the private companies.

Not even European countries, or for that matter my own country, Denmark, is going to do that, because competing against private companies is seen as a bad thing for some stupid fucking reason.

“have your people call my people"

Do you have people?

Do you not?

The AI you are trying to reach has been disconnected or is no longer in service. Please fuck off, don't try again.

She's still running AIBot 372.31, I don't allow SpiffyBot 4723.13 to interact with those sorts of bots.

I am sorry, but our AIs are just not compatible.

I would like to go out, but I need to brush my AIs hair.

Sorry, I already have an AI friend.

You are like an AI to me.

Showerthoughts

41803 readers

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
