If it turns out to be cancer will we still be able to say "fuck cancer"?

Is it bad that we no longer learn how to get around because we rely on GPS? Shrug. Is it bad that we no longer learn math because we rely on calculators? We get by, but we make bad choices about money. Will it be bad when we stop altogether writing, thinking, and creating because we rely on AI?

Sure, I understand, but leaving this link here will result in more people seeing and repeating the claim and when they're proven wrong it will subvert the message we're trying to argue.

This headline is false, it's a misstatement of the linked article's quote "25% of BNPL users say they’ve used the loans to buy groceries."

This article links to another that clarifies, "25% of BNPL users say they’ve used the loans to buy groceries" which is much less dramatic than what the original quote suggests.

We were optimistic about how social media would change society when in hindsight skepticism and discretion could have helped us. We have a model for how AI will be weaponized. We don't have certainty, but also it's not responsible to assume it will be a net positive without evidence that's likely.
Todd Federman (@tfederman.bsky.social) reply parent
You're right, optimism vs. pessimism underpin the debate. If you think things are going well and people are in practice empowered while I think the opposite, it's unlikely either of us will be convinced we're wrong.

The forces working to use it against us have more money and power and will. AI alone is cool, but it's the intersection of AI and 2020s era capitalism and crumbling institutions that's the problem.
Todd Federman (@tfederman.bsky.social) reply parent
AI will be a strong force multiplier for all sort of enshittification and predation, but you're right, all those things existed before. It's just not a good time for there to be more tools that can be used against us.

Automated customer service is useless garbage but has displaced human labor. There's no incongruity here. Garbage will be fed to us because it's cheaper to produce. It's the old same race to the bottom.

1. The population of this "channel" is more discerning than the docile and passive community still on Twitter. 2. There's broad hate for AI across many socio-economic-creative contexts. If people are wrong about your specific approach, it's immaterial. Adobe is profiting from our slopcore future.

SQL, coding, whatever the skill, a good place to be is the point of mastery where AI would slow you down rather than help you. It's not in OpenAl's interests to help you get there.

I don't think it's Helena. It would feel lazy for the writers to pull the same trick twice, and they've been better than that so far. Also, Mark's choice was the emotional climax of the episode/season so I think they'd want to let it stand rather than subvert it with a plot twist.
Todd Federman (@tfederman.bsky.social) reply parent
Yet he'd indicated earlier in the episode he wasn't going to end his existence, so he was at least consistent with what we should have expected. Even though it was frustrating and sad to watch.
