    Buncha wet blankets on Lemmy. JFC.

    I know there is a ton of hype around AI, but at least there is actually something there (unlike crypto).

    This is the most exciting thing to happen with computing in a while and if you read Lemmy you’d think everything is bleak and hopeless.

    There is so much opportunity to change the way we interact with computers and innovate.

      I’m actually worried about the next few years.

      All it takes is for a deep learning algorithm to learn and perform menial tasks better than humans and that is it. Suddenly whole industries of workers could be made redundant, which would spike unemployment rates. We are not ready for that.

      And before you say Universal Basic Income will save us, UBI is little more than a leftist pipe dream that would bankrupt any nation that tries to pursue it as an actual policy.

      AI peeps so insecure that they gotta attack crypto (vaguely). Despite its many problems. crypto is a viable alternative to the legacy system of stat currency that’s literally creating war and destroying the planet. It’s the only truly international currency. AI solves no such problem nearly as important.
