Perhaps I can now, finally, know peace. What they're calling #AI is inevitable because it's just computers, computing, and computers already exist and are everywhere. We cannot stop it, unless you have a plan to stop all computing, forever. Meanwhile, AI products are becoming more useful to people all the time. So, when it comes to critique of AI, we have to up our game if we want a future worth living in. https://redeem-tomorrow.com/the-average-ai-criticism-has-gotten-lazy-and-thats-dangerous  @danilo re: your energy critique, I was eagerly reading to see if you had gotten better stats than I had previously found, but I didn't see any. I don't know if it's worth editing to update, but I was saying exactly this last month: https://mastodon.social/@glyph/111251549055579334 everyone who wants to do this self-righteous finger wagging bullshit about AI’s energy impact needs to explain what we’re going to do about the hundreds of terawatts of mundane data center energy expenditure that’s ALREADY HAPPENING, orders of magnitude greater than AI This is a software engineer writing this. If the future of AI must be stopped on energy grounds, shouldn’t all technologists put down tools and disrupt their nearest data center? It’s absolutely incoherent. Some thoughts on the post-monitor future that a Vision Pro may unlock It's just barely good enough… but that might just be good enough https://redeem-tomorrow.com/leviathan-wakes-the-case-for-apples-vision-pro so look, I'm pretty geeked. It's happening. The next chapter of computing is actually fucking here I've been excited about this since I was in middle school. This has been the longest wait of my life if that's not for you, I get it, but I'd unfollow now, this is going to be a serious focus. Next I'm making the case for Augmented Reality as goal and medium. https://redeem-tomorrow.com/cyberspace-the-case-for-augmented-reality |
@danilo @eieio
This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time
@danilo @eieio That's fantastic, and also, I very much appreciate the "Oh, this is what they're doing with the million bits of data I've given them, that's exceedingly cool, carry on." attitude upon discovery of what was happening. This is good hacking.
