The funny thing is that meth actually increases productivity in a way where YOU are actually doing the fucking work.
Unlike AI which not only does it for you so you begin to get rusty and lose your ability to be effective, but it gets all the work fucking wrong as well.
Essentially what I’m saying is that meth is a more effective workplace tool than AI. I’m sure a lot of psychopathic, shark tank type business people would agree with me.
I’m not trying to say meth is a good thing. I’m just saying it’s legitimately a more useful tool than fucking AI.
Work in cybersecurity. Don’t use AI. Thanks to AI all the search engines are fucked.
Please let it die.
Jokes on you, I use AI as a search engine to wade through all the other AI generated slop. It works some of the time, unlike google which is only ads.
I think he doesn’t understand “anti-ai”
rhetorical question: when you’re anti-*, do you go out and do the thing you’re against? Like if you’re anti-smoking, do you go out and smoke a big fat vape? No, you do not. In other terminology, we call that hypocrisy.
I’d say the majority of people’s reasons against AI isn’t just about the environmental impact but the offloading of your cognitive and mental ability, why would someone be anti-ai and still use ai when it directly hinders the ability to cognitively think in the first place.
Anyways, the reason I’m pointing this out, is if you’re anti-ai, the philosophy assumes you don’t use LLM’s in the first place. So when someone asks this (redundant) question of “can you work without chatgpt?” or “if chatgpt disappeared, would you still be able to get through the day?” I’ve already been doing it.
I can get through my day without using chatGPT. It’s a tool for the briefest of my circumstances (mostly for tedious work), and I could do my day without using it and without hindering my performance.
I use AI at work everyday. If it went away the only thing that would change is I’d just go back to googling stuff
And if googling went away I’d just go back to those giant books with the animals on them.
You’d need to lift the monitors off them first.
Has anyone ever opened one of those books? For all we know, they could just be a bunch of blank pages on the inside
I’ve opened some. It’s genius, it’s like a giant webpage with lots of information, but without all the ads, cookie banners, etc. Unfortunately the ones I have don’t seem to support any way to quickly search in the text. Though they’ve also thought about that, rather than implementing search these books tend to have a big overview at the start with all the separate chapters and sometimes a search index of commonly searched words at the end. Quite genius for what’s effectively just a neat monitor stand
I have read these ancient tomes. The knowledge does exist.
The same, the animal revelations hold forbidden knowledge, but one can derive great power from them
Nah it’s actually just analog AI, someone opened one a few years ago and that’s where all this mess started

Hey there buddy, wanna overthrow the prime minister of Malaysia with me?
As soon as you answer “but why male models?”
Me, a Meth Addict, constantly trying to blow meth smoke in your face and stab you with meth needles: “You’re going to have a pretty hard time getting by without it!”
Me, an ADHD sufferer, “Yeah, meth is terrible. But please don’t try to ban amphetamines universally.”
Right now I could probably get meth easier than adderall even with my prescription.
I’ve been wondering why is meth still allowed as a treatment for adhd? Do regular amphetamines not work for some people?
In my experience, LLMs have been very good at writing unit code. Definitely don’t miss Stackoverflow. Besides this (and framing silly stuff), they aren’t there yet. They will be at some point in the future with some interesting architectural progress, but I haven’t personally experienced this future yet.
Um did buddy not exist before AI? We got this far without it so…
I think the most upsetting part of AI is discovering how many people were so ready for it, like they were just waiting for something to show up that they could offload their lack of creativity or responsibility onto.
I instantly lost friends because the first thing out of their mouth was ‘thank God I never have to pay anyone to commission art ever again and the little guy has access to good OC art.’
These people were not functioning before AI.
No absolving the LLM-obsessed but I believe the average person is just so overwhelmed with society that they salivate for easy answers, just so that something is easy in their lives.
I imagine LLMs wouldn’t be as persuasive if humans had the leisure to satisfy their curiosity, indulge in artistic expression, and socialize with their loved ones. Instead we’re inculcated to this rat race and get surprised when people fall for any scraps they can get their hands on.
Some people are mindless by nature, but this set-up was nutured (intentionally or not) by those wanting to exploit the commoners.
I had this sort of sympathy until I saw how openly hostile people were in their open jealousy over talented people. I kept running into these people for years who were just so angry at the fact that they had to pay someone for their time and talent.
This gets to be a little offshooty for other things I tend to have less popular opinions on, but it’s the same people who feel that piracy should be the norm. No art, performance, or entertainment should be allowed to compel payment and it should all be free. This includes people who absolutely froth about advertisments on their Youtube videos. Granted 5 ads in a row is ridiculous but peraonally I want my artists and performers to be paid egregiously and I will suffer some small inconveniences to make sure they ateast get something from me.
But I think the venn diagram of people who are obsessed with AI and the people who just take offense to having to spend money on anything is a pretty tight one.
I’m staunchly anti-AI, pro-piracy, and pro-adblock. You should never pay for anything made by Disney, Warner Brothers, or Paramount. You should never watch an ad served by Google or Meta. And you should never use Elon Musk’s child porn nazi machine or Sam Altman’s child murderer machine.
There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. But you can make your consumption less unethical, by refusing to give time or money to billionaires.
That doesn’t change the fact that artists and creatives have no other outlet than to be beholden by their platform. Unless you’re going and buying hatsune miku fanart prints at your farmers market, unethucal consumption under captitalism also means trying to find out how to provide for the staff who still contribute to meaningful art, even if that is the set designer for an Avengers slop movie.
Yeah, obviously you should throw money at creators you like on bandcamp and patreon.
But Owen Dennis ain’t getting My money if I subscribe to paramount plus for Among Us, and he sure as shit ain’t getting any money if I watch an ad on cartoon network’s website while trying to figure out how to watch Infinity Train. I really love Infinity Train, but you can’t watch it legally anymore. And it’s not like Owen gets a big bonus if enough people subscribe to catch Among Us.
So anyway I just sent Owen Dennis some money on Patreon to show My appreciation for his amazing cartoons. And I’m still gonna block as many ads as I can!
Hey cool. You make all the calculations you want. As long as you’re supporting creators then that’s all that matters. I reiterate, there are people who take great personal offense to having to pay money for anything and you don’t appear to be one of them.
These are things I already never use. Oh the horror
I’m 50. I would do just fine without AI like I did when we didn’t have the Internet. I’ll adjust. It might be a pain without GPS, Google Maps. Being without a cell phone would be a big one for me as well. It’s not like we have pay phones anymore. And I would have to go back to pagers/beepers. But i would manage either way.
The loss of AI would barely be noticable for the average person. A bunch of developers would have a bad day trying to remove all that integration they were forced by management to add, but beyond that, people would move on.
Removing the Internet as a whole at this stage would be basically impossible without halting pretty much every economic force on the planet, I think. The Internet acts as the backbone of pretty much everything related to monetary transactions or logistics in general.
This is wildly incorrect. If by AI you mean exclusively modern LLMs, then it would effectively halt quite a lot of modern research, including virology, epidemiology, physics, materials sciences, and many more.
If by AI you mean the actual definition of AI, then you can say goodbye to the Internet as we know it today. Translation services, fraud protection, GPS, 99.9% of all software development, etc. nobody had a problem with AI ~5 years ago. Those exact same algorithms are now flagged as evil because people misunderstand what they’re even complaining about.
The impossibility of removing the Internet is identical to the impossibility of removing AI. Or, if you use the incorrect term to mean LLMs exclusively, then say goodbye to quite a lot of critical modern research. I hope you don’t like antibiotics, because there was a recent breakthrough that used Evo 1 and Evo 2, both LLMs trained on genome data.
All of these people that want to end billionaires, or reduce their accumulated wealth, I have one question: if billionaires disappeared tomorrow would you still get through an entire day of your life? Imagine if the rich were eaten? Would you really be willing to give them up?
Look man, im already starving, you dont need to make me hungrier comparing it like that
Last time I sullied my fingers with a copilot prompt, it decided lobster was vegan so I immediately scrapped that idea and went back to real intelligence. I would be 100.00% delighted if “AI” disappeared.
I dig trenches with a shovel. There is no USB port on my shovel. I thank the almighty gods for that small blessing.
But it’s the universal shoveling bus
Definitely. I haven’t even begun to use it yet and its already pissing me off. If I touch the phone in just the wrong way it starts doing AI at me. Turns out it starts doing AI at me if I hold the power button down to turn it off. Imagine my anger.
Every time I turn my Windows laptop on it throws more and more copilot bollocks at me that I dont need or want and dont have the time to try and disable so I just have to spend the whole time fighting it off like a dog trying to hump my leg when I’m trying to cook dinner.
Win debloater. You can kill cp entirely and save your bullshit gutting script to run again in the future
Please don’t abbreviate copilot and please don’t make me explain why.
Oh no no no that was deliberate. I want that association to tske flight and fuck their branding
You are playing a dangerous game with cheese pizza.
i have no idea what that means
EdiT: ih. yes, of course. Cock pirate. Apologies for the slow draw, been building a basement brewery all day
Sounds sick. Got any pics?
Of your brewery - not the other thing 💀
Cheese pizza is also perverted. You’re covering a perfectly good pizza with stolen rotted breast milk from an animal. Vegan cheese pizza is fine.
Fuck that. Cow milk goes moo oo oo oo oo.
…and yes, I’m Nordic and tolerate it fucking perfectly. The only American I’ve ever dated got into this with me so hard I thought she’d die on the sidewalk out of pure spite right there. “Milk is for baby cows,” my hairy ass. It’s for delicious fucking pizzas, amongst many other delicious things.
…also if you’ve been in Finland for close to a fucking decade and haven’t figured out that yes, we fucking drink it just like that maybe it’s time to figure out a new area in the world to settle. Like a Polynesian Volcano. Fuuuck.
Oh yeah good point, animal breast milk is also connected to race by right wing weirdos. Source: https://theconversation.com/milk-a-symbol-of-neo-nazi-hate-83292
Here’s a great (and by great I mean awful) historical quote on milk from 1933:
“A casual look at the races of people seems to show that those using much milk are the strongest physically and mentally, and the most enduring of the people of the world. Of all races, the Aryans seem to have been the heaviest drinkers of milk and the greatest users of butter and cheese, a fact that may in part account for the quick and high development of this division of human beings.”
I have seen multiple of those Windows debloater scripts online, but I struggle to understand which one is legit and which could be malware
I’m not anti-AI, but I’m most definitely anti-corporate greed. I wish there was moderation in all of this. I wish there were regulations instead of letting companies blindly buy hardware before it’s even made based on what they or their competitors might be doing 2 years from now. Fuck that.
With that said, yes, AI is a helpful tool, yes, I’m using it every day at work, and yes, I can do without it no problem - just like I have for many many years.
AI has been in development for a long time, I remember learning about neural networks when I was at school in the 90s, they weren’t very sophisticated by all accounts but the research was there. What’s happened lately is that scientists have been replaced by tech bros and all the research is now happening out in public, and it is on sale, rather than in the labs where it can be regulated by people who are not purely profit motivated.
The internet didn’t vanish when the dot com bubble burst, all that happened was that businesses were more accurately assessed as to their market value. If anything, the internet was improved by the dot com bubble burst, does increase the number of actually practical ideas.
I suspect AI will be better once the AI bubble bursts, and the research goes back into labs and starts being done by ethical scientists again.
Honestly I don’t need ai, but time is money,
I can survive without ai, but a lot of things are time consuming
So yes, I rarely use ai, honestly ai kinda sucks
It’s time to heavily regulate ai
Regulate dez nutz I vote for RPG
