I Am Tired of AI 2 years ago

Without any sort of AI we'd probably be left with the most exciting yearly releases being 3-5% performance increases in hardware (while being 20% more expensive of course), the 100000th javascript framework and occasionally a new windows which everybody hates. People talk about how population collapse is going to mess up society, but I think complete stagnation in terms of new consumer goods/technology are just as likely to do the deed. Maybe AI will fail to improve from this point, but that's a dark future to imagine. Especially if it's for the next 50 years.

These amazing machines weren't consistently able to tell if an image had a bird in it or not up until like 8 years ago. If you use AI as a calculator where you need it to be precise, that's on you.

I had a dream like that a few months ago. Woke up around 5 times in my supposed bed. Each wakeup became more and more realistic but there was always something out of place like my lamp suddenly not being there or my door being open which then would make me "wake up" again. I was pretty damn conscious/lucid by the last wakeup but I didn't realize I was dreaming until I turned on the light, turned on the TV, switched to YouTube, selected a video, watched some of it and saw the video controls being wrong. Being aware of me having woken up so many times already at this point and this also being fake gave me the biggest sense of dread I've felt in a long long time. Luckily then I actually woke up for real.

I guess I'm the weirdo who actually always considered the unconditional love of a dog to be vastly inferior to the earned love of a cat for example.

Most likely you'll be playing alongside or against AIs without ever knowing. Either AIs from the game developers to make their online game seem more popular or people who want their stats leveled up without any effort on their part.

A few months ago ai generated videos of people getting arrested for wearing big boots went viral on TikTok. I think this sort of silly "interdimensional cable" stuff will be really big on these short form video type sites once this level of quality becomes available to everyone.

I honestly expected video generation to get stuck at barely consistent 5 second clips without much movement for the next few years. This is the type of stuff I expected to maybe be possible towards the end of the decade. Maybe we really are still at the bottom of the S curve which is scary to think about.

Call me evil however you want. But they could kill 1000x the amount of monkeys if the outcome is severly disabled humans regaining their life in some capacity. Worse is being done to animals for less useful things.

They must've done that intentionally. You can't tell me he wouldn't have been able to communicate through drawing, writing or some sort of made up sign language that he's hungarian or that he's mentally well.
