| "Could" does a lot of work in these kinds of claims. We need to build it as fast as possible because it could cure all disease. Ignore whether that's possible, how it might happen, whether all we're missing to do it is more intelligence, etc. The only way I see us curing all disease is to throw out all the names we've given to collections of symptoms. What disease? I don't see no disease, you just have a sore throat, runny nose, and mild fever. |

We need to risk pumping out even more CO2, causing more environmental disaster, ruining entire human communities, just to cure diseases? You might as well say it's better to be in prison because you're guaranteed three meals a day. The logic of some pro-AI people is baffling. |

| How has AI given you less free time? |
| |
| ▲ | bemtevi 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I have to spend extra time just trying to find AI-free things, AI-free writing, AI-free communities, and people who aren't addicted to AI. And get noticed/get a job by having to push through all this AI static. And having to interact with AI-based customer service agents that take 10x as long to resolve the problem as a human being. And having to wait a bit longer because there are 10x more 'Are You Human' Captchas slowing down website loading. And having to download OS updates that are 2x as large because they contain AI models. And having to double-check everything because there's so much more hallucinated crap out there. The other day I hired an accountant and even he sent me an AI answer that sounded right but was actually bullshit. In short, it takes a LOT more time just to find some sanity now. AI is shit. |

| That's the whole point of the site. Did you read it. AI should not cause harm, direct or indirect. |
| |
| ▲ | bemtevi an hour ago | parent [-] | | Of course I read it. But my thesis is that one cannot avoid that. Causing harm, whether direct or indirect, is the fundamental nature of AI. | | |
| ▲ | perarneng 19 minutes ago | parent [-] | | It can be avoided, humans control AI still. Humans are the ones causing harm with the help of humans. |

| I mean, it could if "we" "just" got out of globalized financial capitalism, changed everything about our political, economical, financial, social systems, etc. Only 14 years old and accelerationists think we can just push the capitalism pedal further and somehow get social changes going their way |
| |
| ▲ | bemtevi 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I don't think accelerationists think we can do anything. The thought process of the accelerationist is partly fueled by the 'excitement' of betting and playing musical chairs and hoping to be the first ones out holding a bag of money and partly fueld by the delusion that technological advancement is always good at any level of complexity. | |
