All of that is because the incentives are coming from those with the most power/money who are the most psychotic cancer cells in the history of the world. You’re only aware of such a tiny sliver of it because that’s the most problematic and gets the most news. Those are all huge problems that need to be solved, but the cause isn’t AI. AI is just an accelerant for a sick hypercapitalist society that is doomed to collapse. AI itself has been used for millions of great things that improve all of life on earth, but in the hands of these psychopaths it’s just being used for the ultimate triumph of Capital over Labor, at the expense of literally everything else on earth.

I had, like, a bunch of paragraphs lined up because I thought you didn’t understand this. But as it turns out, you seem to be perfectly okay with the world being raped to death.
I hope your academic field is entertaining, at least.
I know. I am perfectly capable of reading more than one comment.
zd9, you are aware that AI is making things worse, you say so yourself, and yet you feel the unsatable need to stand here bitching that no one understands your unique, special use case. For what?
I. Do. Not. Give. A. Fuck. that academics are using machine learning to solve problems. That is their business. <- Is that what you wanted? There you go.
So do you feel this hatred towards Monte Carlo sampling methods, or Gaussian Mixture Models, or Finite Element Method solvers? It’s all just math and it is being applied towards both how to grow crops better and how to make bombs. Seems pretty naive.
You know what the problem is? You think that you’re too smart to be caught with a meth addiction. See, your neighbor got fucked up, lost a bunch of his teeth, but you, you know about microdosing.
Your other neighbor fell off a construction site that was missing its guard rails, but that wouldn’t happen to you; you have excellent balance.
The movie Jurassic Park is literally about people like you.
Do you have a reason to restrict Gaussian mixture models you’d like to give me, or are we just pissing in the same bush?
Do you hate the concept of iron alloy? Because it was used for hundreds of years in swords and weapons to kill millions of people. See how silly that sounds?
Iron alloy doesn’t convince people they shouldn’t have their noose visible in case someone might see it and intervene. You’re not going to change my mind. Once the bubble is popped and all our lives get worse and 3 people control all the technology it’s not going to matter that it saves people time, or it creates efficiency.
Just because you don’t like my points doesn’t mean I’m arguing in bad faith, and I find it a little insulting that you’re trying to dodge instead of responding to my point by insinuating I am.
No I’m saying you’re not even trying to understand, you’re just saying you don’t like it no matter what. To that I said, ok keep living in your echochamber. I’m not saying that’s bad faith, it’s just not trying to reach truth.
And what is the truth? You don’t get to define away all the bad parts of the technology and just point out the good parts. My life is materially worse because of how this technology is developing and being implemented. Some extremely vague wins aren’t enough to convince me to change my mind. I have heard your argument, I have measured it and found it wanting.

…I work in earth science…

Yes, of course. Monte Carlo killed my father.

lol ok, please keep sharing how you don’t understand anything about ML or even just… math/science in general, it’s actually entertaining
Understand what? That you have a robot girlfriend you don’t want to give up? That you would burn the world down for Her.
You know, human love is just a biochemical response to external stimuli, I’m sure there’s a drug that can replace it.
ok buddy, best of luck to you I guess
You know what all those methods have in common? FUCKING evaluation of smooth continuous functions based on a limited number of samples.
REAL MEN WRITE REAL PROOFS. They don’t use God damned computational methods which completely IGNORE non-converging regions.
I used opus to generate this lean-verifiable proof that you in particular are full of shit!

You’re not um… you’re not even reading, but ok. Keep living in your echochamber I guess.
