  Bruh, I get how you feel, but your complaints are with capitalism, not algorithms that are wildly better than previous ones at fuzzy pattern matching.

  Here is an example of how AI has already literally revolutionized science through one targeted project:

  My best friend literally did his PhD in protein crystallography and is at MIT doing a protein structural analysis Post Doc, and the work of the new AI based protein structural predictions has literally completely changed the direction of their lab’s research, basically overnight.

  Yeah there’s a lot of dumb tech bros over hyping AI, and a lot of giant corporations that care about using it for literally nothing but getting personally richer, but you’re going to be misinformed the other direction if just read nothing but AI doomed blogs from people who don’t actually bother trying to use or understand the technology.

    Capitalism is merely a child of heirarchal domination. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1ZK2-viyAo

    Real shit im glad you’re able to find a few diamonds in the rough – BUT from the fashy techbros you mentioned to Corpo wide mainstream forcefeeding it, absolutely a net negative.

    Truly, I love new tech. Always have. I wanna love AI…but as things stand I come to the inevitable conclusion that it is tossing gas on the climate crisis, on social and economic inequity and much more. I’m far from a doomer. Pull your head out your ass.

    “bruh”

      In what way are they causing more harm than they were with crypto, or with gamification, or with social media, or with whatever tech fad came before that?

      The point is that tech bros and conman have always existed and have always been shilling overhyped shit. That’s a reality of the world we live in, not a new invention of AI.

      And by “few diamonds in the rough”, I assume you mean a literal entirely new class of problems that computers were unable to solve for before?

      Truly, I love new tech. Always have. I wanna love AI…but as things stand I come to the inevitable conclusion that it is tossing gas on the fires that are the climate crisis, on social and economic inequity and so, sweet summer child soooo much more. I’m far from a doomer.

      Just because you bookend your doomer statement with ‘i love tech’ and ‘im far from a doomer’, doesn’t make it not a doomer’ statement. You literally start it by saying that your conclusion is inevitable.
