I will def.watch it. Bernie is awesome. I agree with his first question.
I really hope he also points out that it is overrated junk. My only issue with some ai criticism is it ends up perpetuating the fraudulent humblebrags of those guys.
Both Ed Zitron and Adam Becker point out how mostly it is just overhyped clunkware.
Important to point that out because it is such false advertising to portray it as this omnipresent, omnipotent, superintelligent threat rather than obnoxious, parasitic bloatware.
It is demoralising when you know that stuff is bunkum and yet other people are buying it and or repeating it. That’s what their shills in the tech press want.
Its a space and wealth grab without even a marginally commensurate return.
Would the average person consider it a good contract to hobble themselves all the time with bloatware with no expectation of any return on an investment you never chose to end up with fearmongering that these ai oligarchs pitch that dwarves Y2k but sidesteps the very real and serious nuisance value their “ai” has as invasive spyware engaged in an economic war of attrition hogging everything? It is not GIGO.
It is more like the human response to a pointless parasitic technology with no clear value except to these charlatans.
That is the worst deal ever when spelt out.
AI scares the crap out of me. (Thanks, Bernie.) With all the commotion and craziness about Trump and his antics, WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION to other real and present dangers!
