i was certain of the same worst case scenario until I started to properly read and study the LLMs output. prior to that enlightening, very wise choice, I speedread/skimmed and checked for grave bullshit/hallucinations only.

now i am convinced that it's the same matter as with people who forget most of what they learned after the actual exam vs people who go nuts and can't progress if they didn't understand a foundational part of a formula, fact or theory.

he did, 140 billion :D

likely related to how trained and some untrained dogs sense what you are up to consciously or not (yet).

brains smell/decode info that we don't have an actual odor (but receptors) for.

it's also why (some) pets and animals react to their human's mood/attitude and short-, mid-, long-term stress (and other) hormone levels.

some people get their energy drained by persons that they are not even aware of being in proximity (e.g. dad got home after work while child is wearing headphones). it can become a matter of good or bad resilience, too, and some brains can develop defence mechanisms by mere exposure while others can't, which is likely (definitely) entangled in/with hormone metabolisms.

as long that war is to counter the power of corporations.

didn't know that war was an integral part of the theme, or countering corpo powers. never read any manifest, though, ... the farce seemed less interesting than the chrome ...

I thought cyberpunk was about the illusion of not being a laissez-faire self-made instrument ...

Most people outside the tech industry don’t care

This is and always will be incorrect and just the go-to excuse and/or justification. People do care but their brains are too muddy from stress, lies, ambiguous information and the lack of time to separate truth from campaigns/propaganda/proprietary agendas.

This can be interpreted as people not actively caring, as in the infamous "nobody cares" and "nobody can do anything about that anyway" but it's actually passive carelessness that has it's origin in a conspiratorial kind of treatment of lower classes by upper classes. But that's boring.

What's exciting is that it holds true upwards. Top 10% earners "don't care" if they "loose" 50000 dollars due to fraud by people "above their pay grade".

Hop, hop, hop ... people hate the tech industry because they somewhat expect that skilled and/or smart people with resources, opportunity and time do things the right way ... because they can, because they say "we can" and "we will" and "the people" a lot in various ways.

It causes at least a little nausea to suddenly realize that young or middle aged or seasoned engineers and business people behave like aging placeholder representatives that were picked because they are "representative enough".

This, of course, partially stems from several cognitive fallacies about the things that evolution and expertise seem to imply but don't.

In the end, it's not hate but recurring disillusionment and disappointment ... that the tech industry is no better than 13 year old drug dealers getting the teens next door hooked on punched bullshit or violent pimps and malpracticing doctors.

"It's a shame, really."

That said, the tech industry is doing it's job and delivers and it's human nature to expect "more" from capable people as well as to be disappointed when they don't--especially when patterns of malicious intent emerge and become systematic and systemic ... which has been halpening over and over again ...

When does a feature that simply makes your product easier to use cross into a territory that it's illegal?

Good question! Maybe when that which makes the application/product easier has more negative side effects than positive or useful intended effects?

There must be ample examples/collections on the net about convenience and/or ease of use doing ugly stuff to body and brain short-, mid-, long-term.

the beauty is in how these costs have been driven by sheer stupidity and incompetence. keep people stupid, poison them, spike them, stress them, abuse the dumbest, sickest, most stressed, and least knowledgeable. loop recursively. make sure lawmakers profit. keep doing it. increase the scale. make it systemic. make sure the cool kids have a slogan to hold on tightly to, like "burning men", something "fusion" and/or "let it be/happen 42".

once AI is born, it won't even have to spend a single second of compute on "to let them be or not?" because they breed "the worst" into the species in the worst ways. holy crap, after millions of years "that which procreates, survives" will just go poof. thanks for humor evolution!

job creation and Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahmen. berry cool

financial advice of smart refrigerator right before the dump?

it's like that image of a pyramid with a separated floating tip. the more AI use in corps, the more they become incorporated by that singular entity.
