Everyday AI become more and more common, but can we say no?
We can control AI just fine. We cannot control corporations, who use sloppy AI for important decisions. A few court cases for unfair hiring practices will solve the problem rather quickly, it won’t be AI who will get fined, it will be CEO.
“No” - tech bros and republicans
To be clear, the article is about people who don’t wanna use AI and hes chois or not to do it in a personal level. No an impose to those who embrace AI. Is more like if a person can chose to say not to AI, or in words from the article “those who are left behind is widening and becoming a social barrier”.
Oh no, people are assaulting me with their different opinions!
No - you can’t say no. People have a right to use AI in their productions, and your opinion cannot force them to do otherwise.
As with anything - the moment your opinion starts to dictate other people’s lives, it becomes invalid.
Libertarians can fuck right off.
What we need is the possibility to protect the content we did created.
What if their use of AI affects me? Is my opinion invalid when my opinion is that you shouldnt be allowed to pollute a river that I depend on for accessing water? Have you thought about this for more than 2 seconds?
Have YOU? - Your example is clearly them violating the rights of others.
So what counts as dictating my life?
The government prohibiting me from firing my gun in the air, or my neighbor’s falling bullets prohibiting me from leaving my porch?
I’m always suspect of those who assume there is only “freedom to do” and not also “freedom from being done-to”.
They tend to think they will never be on the receiving end of someone else’s “freedom”.
Re-read your post and try to pinpoint where you contradict yourself. If you are unable to do so, you could ask chat gpt for help.
Is that because you can’t pinpoint it yourself? There’s a reason that you can’t.
Oh no, people are assaulting me with their different opinions!
No - you can’t say no. People have a right to use AI in their productions, and your opinion cannot force them to do otherwise.
They have no right to force me to endure said “productions” garbage.
this is all pretty comical to me because I remember the same articles being written about the internet in the 80s and '90s and here we are
Yeah, here we are. The majority of humanity addicted to social media, being brainwashed by far-right assholes into voting for Nazis. That worked out really well, didn’t it?
This is not very similar. As the other poster said, unregulated AI is a corpos dream, and it will destroy us even worse than billionaires already have. Give it 10 years, if you don’t work manual labor you’ll be jobless
Let me know how you feel when you are starving to death from not having any money from AI taking away every possible way to earn a living that isn’t manual labor or shitty service jobs.
well we aren’t there now and while I do understand it’s going to change things, that’s what new technology does whether it’s power tools or automated robots building cars or now ai doing things in software that’s how things evolve with technology and we just figure out ways to continue to exist

these negative comments are missing the point. Soon we may not be able to buy a phone that doesnt have an integrated intrusive ai that scans all you files. Android has one, ios has one. Whats the alternative? using lineage os or some other android rom? having to give up using banks apps and stuff that doesnt work in those roms? most people cant say no to having a phone, so lets ensure these phones arent so intrusive. lets legislate something about this…

Using a cheap android phone just for bank seems the solution.

What you really need is freedom. Not from AI but from corporations.

Fwiw I can use my banking apps and anything else on GrapheneOS. It’s been smooth sailing all the way.

im glad that it works for you, but my point is that we should have the right to have a non-intrusive phone just as easily as we have intrusive ones. People shouldnt be expected to learn how to unlock a bootloader, or import one of the few models that support these alternative roms with all security features in place. In the process of installing these roms, some people might fall into the trap of installing them from a suspicious source.

Yep I just have to disable a few default sandboxing flags on my specific banking apps and they work.

Same here. I’ve been using Lineage since it was Cyanogenmod and I’ve never encountered banking or payment apps not working.

I live in Denmark, their state identification app does not work if it detects that the Android ROM is not straight from Google. So when I switched to /e/OS I couldn't access anything any more. So yeah, in my case the solution was ta give up on one pretty critical app.
Thankfully the solution was as easy as getting one of those old fashioned code chips, and everything else seems to be working fine (including banking apps from other countries). So now I'm rocking /e/OS and I'm pretty sure there is no way I'm ever going back to Google Android.

Do Magisk and the universal fix no longer help with masking your OS?

btw, my bank recently announced that they’ll not let anyone login to the web bank from mobile phones. their justification is to “protect against hackers”, which is an obvious lie

Use desktop mode and spoof the user agent with an extension. I’m assuming you’re of average intelligence and already use Firefox.
