I’m not saying that all that stuff is good, I’m saying that focusing on the environment aspect is weird when the environmental aspect is minuscule compared to all of the other stuff we do.
The other factors you mentioned such as increasing RAM prices are pretty much exclusive to ai and thus a better argument against it. Most people have computers or want a computer, most people have a phone, and so on
Some would argue that the meat industry does not, in fact, produce food. Many have argued as such, in fact.
I think maybe this is something older than Abrahamic religions, but who knows. It just seems so coordinated across different faiths.
Nope. We’re done. I repeated myself over and over. I’m sorry if you’re still confused.
No dude it’s not helpful to tell someone to “just do it” when they can’t just do it. You’ve got to meaningfully help them do it. I’m not gonna repeat myself again.
I don’t actually think AI is doing all of those things. I think the economy is already fucked and AI is a scapegoat for companies who were going to lay off a bunch of people anyway. I don’t think the water and electricity consumption compares to the meat industry, but I could be wrong. I think it’s weird that there is such an outrage over AI but not cattle, but I guess because people like beef more than they like hallucinated AI results.
It’s probably a good idea to self-host your own AI for privacy reasons alone, if you use it.
Your assumptions about me are off by a lot. (Except for me thinking of a small population, which made me reflect, thank you)
It’s not you in particular. Most people, when they hear autism, intellectual disability, or developmental delay picture a drooling helpless patient wearing a helmet who barely knows he’s indoors. Those guys exist, and they deserve care, but they do not represent the vast majority of disabled people.
And it’s obvious you believe it helps some people if I say “be social”.
No, I don’t think it helps at all. The people who are capable of being social are already social. Some may or may not use AI but the people who are capable of hearing “be social” and acting on it are largely already social and do not totally depend on AI. The reason you’re seeing “normal people” get AI psychosis is because THAT IS WHAT DISABLED PEOPLE LOOK LIKE. THEY LOOK ““NORMAL.”” Vulnerable people do not have a sign on their forehead that says I’m Vulnerable. That isn’t how it works.
Why is an advice “not beeing helpful” to some reason enough not to say it?
Because it’s exactly like saying “you should just make more money,” in my opinion.
What’s the difference?
That’s not where my brain was going but I agree, even neurotypical people with enough spending money to care about other people’s problems don’t really want to hear about it, that’s a good point too
While some individuals with developmental delay (AN INVISIBLE DISABILITY AND NOT AT ALL WHAT YOU’RE PICTURING) can improve their social skills by being social, for many, their disability (NOT WHAT YOU’RE PICTURING, STOP USING YOUR IMAGINATION), is something that they were born with, is permanent, and requires outside assistance. It is not helpful to tell people with no social circle, whether due to disability, poverty, depression, or something else, that they can magically be social or become social somehow without outside assistance. You may be capable of just being social and you probably have been since the day you were born. There are a myriad of reasons why someone wouldn’t have a social circle, and many of those people cannot simply “be social.” That isn’t how it works.
I have been trying not to say the words disability or poverty or depression because I knew your brain would shut off and you’d focus only on your own imagination and not what I’m trying to say. You’d also probably imagine that I’m talking about a small population of people.
Edit: Why don’t you write a poem about paying psych workers at least $40 an hour?
No, the individuals I am talking about almost universally require outside assistance to form a social circle, and many of them do use AI to socialize. Not because it helps them be better at socializing, but because being lonely is painful and talking to an AI is a substitute for what they actually need.
utilize the social circle they have
Some people do not have a social circle at all whatsoever.
it’s better to turn to people than ai.’
OK. It’s better to eat salad than to eat a hamburger. Does saying this materially help people with food addictions or who live in food deserts? Does it help someone with no access to salad to tell him that it’s better to eat salad?
I can only speak to personal experience, which is admittedly limited
I have some experience with vibecoding, and while it does help, it only cuts down on development time a little bit. I’m talking about markup language. I have a hard time imagining that someone can build an entire app with this.
Is AI good for anything other than boilerplate code though? I worry when people talk about databases.
A few content creators and independent news organizations I used to follow turned out to be funded by Russia, so I’m a lot more skeptical now
Got it. Why do people use agents? I’ve used vibe coding before, it is possible to copy-paste the boilerplate code you asked for, although you’ve got to then edit for about two hours…
But using AI is all about cheating!
