I’m not against AI. I’m against how it’s being used. I’m against it being unregulated. I’m against it pushed as a solution for things it has no real need for. I’m against the massive energy cost for the miniscule benefit it produces.
I fear that as the technology grows coupled with robotics that those in power will squander the wealth and provide only suffering. I fear it will be used to distort reality to benefit a select few who already have too much unchecked power.
I don’t need or want it to tell me how to do things I can research myself. I don’t need it to be in my web browser or in my computer or in my phone. I don’t need it to create media. I don’t need it to think for me or write my papers or pretend to be my girlfriend.
I do think it has potential to be a technology the could revolutionize math, science and medicine.
The technology has a long way to go until it’s intelligent, more than just fancy predictive text that often gives the wrong answers.

Under songs by characters i can think of one. When the Tachikoma sacrifice themselves bringing down the satellite that held their AI backups in SAC Individual Eleven. Wasn’t particularly beautiful but was touching.

- Comment on In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks 5 weeks ago:
Kde is working really well on linux-surface. Had to change the OSK to maliit(?) but everything I need works. I haven’t tried to install the camera driver because I never needed it. Stylus works really well ootb. Use it with Krita. Screen rotation works great and I use it as an e-reader. I choose an easy arch distro because disk encryption works with the native keyboard although it has been some time since i tried a non rolling distro and other distros could have addressed the startup keyboard issues by now. 10/10 would recommend.

One set works within a system that they have set up to benefit only themselves.
The other works outside that system either for themselves or a separate collective. Working outside the measured control system is a direct threat to the profits the beneficiaries of that system.

I was fascinated for a couple years, back when flash player was coming to an end. I built a deck of cards in AS3 with the original goal of a simple single player blackjack. This was introductory research I came across that has held a fascination for me ever since.
