"A computer can never be held accountable - therefore a computer must never make a management decision". - IBM Training manual, 1979.
So jazzed to live here in the future where we have AI making insurance denials and deciding drone targets! /s
Good on her for standing against the Silicon Valley doom hype machine.

It's so apt for our time @.@
There are some things it would be nice to have a brain in a jar to do for me.
I do not, however, want that jar sitting in an Amazon-owned server room somewhere, where they can modify the jar to change how the brain works.
Take back your brain-in-a-jars from big tech! /j
This is the primary reason I've not given agents more power than something extremely controlled (I.e. only a function to turn on/off the lights). As I was always concerned that these generational models might accidentally do something dumb or annoying, let alone something that might be illegal or harmful.
I don't really see how anyone would ask AI to complete something completely autonomously at this stage, without oversight.
Good for image classification and tagging to automate sorting all the images off my phone. Some fun chatbots to soundboard ideas off. Anything involving credit cards, bank details, personal info near the internet? That's a big nope.
Well put
hero material.
my family contributes $5 monthly to the signal foundation. consider doing the same if you are able.
the entire family uses it personally and for business so its among the best montly contribs we make.
It will be interesting tracing accountability when AI does something less than legal while trying to implement a legal command.
Thanks for posting this. I haven't heard her before. She knows her shit.
I mean shes not wrong, but imagine I use this to do my bullshit day job so I can work on what I really want to. I would totally use this to get some rube to pay me for a job while I GameDev or something. Or at least some excel sheet monkey could probably do that I know these can't do my job.
The problem being: Why pay you, if all they'd need is an AI agent?
Technology like this will not be used by the workers to prevent having to do bullshit jobs, it will be used by employers to prevent paying people.
In a world that lets everybody profit from the advances we make, that would be a good thing, but in the world I see us living in, that'll just grow the gap between poor and rich.
Its out now. I'm talking about taking advantage of this toilet bowl before the last flush. We never got rid of Citizens United. We never controlled these corporations. As a people, we were content until just about this point as a whole. Unless everyone marches to DC. The tech bros are getting their little kingdoms.
AI autoresponders are developing into artificial personas that interact with the world on our behalf, which we won't even pay attention to until the police show up because one of them threatened to assassinate the president or something, and we'll say, "That wasn't me," and they'll be like yuh-huh it was.
Why Signal is not in f-droid? Is there a statement from them about it? What I know is only in Google store . And talking to much about privacy and not being in a f-droid repo, is ironic
actually, years ago there was a long drawn out drama about people in Signal's team refusing to publish on F-Droid because of "security concerns" in Moxie's time. IIRC they worked to take down builds on the main repo
you can probably still find the old github threads with the lenghty discussions
I didn't know, Thanks for the info . Well nowadays f-droid is a standard for privacy . They should reconsider
It's available on F-droid through the Guardian Project repo.
Yes that's correct, is listed in guardian project but with big red flags anti-featires, heavy thetered services with Google
huh didn’t know she was this good looking. Also, fair points.
Do you qualify all women you meet this way or only those involved in your interests?
Whats wrong with saying someone is good looking?
It implies that that's a quality you should be judging people on, even if their looks have no bearing on the situation.
Of all the things or even subjects you could have made a comment on in this thread, you left one on the looks of a woman.
She doesn't need your validation. Other Lemmy users don't need your opinion on who's attractive. It's meaningless and detracts from the conversation.
It implies that that’s a quality you should be judging people on, even if their looks have no bearing on the situation.
That certainly shouldn't be how it is, but there's a lot of evidence to support that it is how it is. Just because we don't like it being that way doesn't mean it doesn't impact people's perceptions.

To quote Eddie Izzard from her special Dress to Kill:
I don't disagree that it was kind of pointless to bring up, but just saying... it's a thing.
to save some folks a click:
the phenomenon is called the "halo effect", and the opposite is also the case and called the "horns effect" (ugly people/things getting more negative judgement based on appearance).
there's a LOT of research into these effects (for obvious reasons)...
That’s taking my comment waaayyy to serieus
Hey, you asked. What part of your comment do you feel is being taken way too seriously?
It's easier to (figuratively) say "You guys are just not understanding my comment. It's all of you who are wrong!" than to just take a second and understand why people don't like what you commented earlier.
It is not a problem in many contexts. For instance complementing people in social non-work gatherings. "Wow, you look great in that suit", or "You are even prettier than I remember". Or when talking about someones ability to attract attention.
However in the context of an important message from a person, it derails the conversation and kinda just objectifies a person. As if it is more important than what they are saying or contributing.
It basically boils down to this: Do you want to be remembered for being good looking or your contributions to this world? How does it feel to be unsure if you got the job, because of looks? Or if people are listening because of your looks?
I am glad you asked, and I already saw someone gave a great explanation, but wanted to pitch in as well 😊
I would agree if i was directly talking to the person i was referring to. I would not brought looks up in that context for all the reasons you listed as its disrespectful.
Am i offtopic, very much. But thats what the downvote button is for. This was meant as lighthearted comment. Not about disregarding her statements.
regardless, thank you for your reply as i def can see it but it feels massive overblown.
Yup, it's overblown. Just wanted to give an explanation, you never know what level of awareness other strangers have online. Wish you the best, and see you around!
It's weird that you think it's relevant.
Talk about irrelevant comment. Blocked.
talk about a n irrelevant comment! you're informing us you've blocked someone, hahaha
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
