  • I tend to think that the pro AI people are of a younger generation, because if they were closer to Gen X, they’d be feeling betrayed rather than excited.

    Gen X and Millenials built the internet. We populated it with our forums, our blogs, our facbook profiles. We were the first ones sharing our photos, our very lives, with all of our friends and family. We created what it would become and we trusted that it was a community resource. Then along comes a couple of billionaires, they suck up everything that you have built and then have the balls to charge you an entry fee!

    It’s like if you and your neighbourhood all got together and decided to build a playground for your kids, and when it’s done, some asshole asks the city for the right to the land and puts a toll booth up.

    More than any other concern, THAT betrayal is what pisses me off the most. How fucking dare they say that I have to pay to access a system that was built on community content. They can fuck themselves sideways with a rusty sledge hammer.


  • Using AI to double check your code is very different from using AI to replace your skilled creative talent on a motion picture. It’s not even an accurate comparison… GL isn’t talking about coding, he’s talking about visual effects, writers, even actors…all of whom who’s careers are at risk.

    You want to use AI to make sure you didn’t miss a semicolon at the end of a line, great…knock yourself out. But that has literally nothing in common with what Lucas is blathering about here.









  • Morality doesn’t exist.

    Morality is just Empathy re-branded by religion in order to be codified and used to cudgel uneducated medieval serfs.

    What they preach about in not killing, not raping, not fucking deer, etc… etc… literally comes from simply giving the barest minimum of shits about the people around you.

    Their problem however, is that Empathy not only predates their religion by hundreds of thousands of years (if not millions), but that Empathy is not limited to humans, which would mean that they’re no longer the creator’s “special little boy”.

    So they rename it, put it into neat and easy little Mnemonic devices (lets call them sins) and then run around telling the uneducated peasants “don’t do this, don’t do that” even though most people weren’t doing those things anyway because most people have empathy and simply aren’t assholes.
