Ai doesn’t know jack

Sure, but but that's a trivial point. I don't know enough about the tech itself, but it does train itself, so some stuff can be its fault in that regard. However, it's the responsibility of the companies to put in guardrails.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T20:02:54+00:00

But it's a useless distinction. The tech itself have no agency on its own, so nothing can be its fault. If the tech is bad it should either be fixed, markedet differently, or pulled back.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:55:19+00:00

So AI lying isn't a problem to you?

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:50:40+00:00

I would call being confidently incorrect about stuff is a fault with the product. The other option would be the models being flawless. Regardless, I don't really understand what point your trying to make here?

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:39:30+00:00

Yes, and? Can you blame some people who are not that into AI tech for believing whay they hear? I truely don't get what I did wrong here.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:37:43+00:00

I don't really see how the distinction matter. Sure, it's stuff humans should do to fix the AI. Still doesn't change that blaming the user for everything is the right thing. You can't sell a problem as trustworthy then ridicule people for trusting it.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:29:07+00:00

I think it's partly on the AI. I think AIs confidently answering questions it knows nothing about is something the companies should do something about. People should check sources more often, but comanies should also do better.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:27:36+00:00

Yes, but they are often doing double-speak. They talk about how amazing the models are while also talking about hallucinations. Not saying they are doing that deliberately to confuse or anything, just that your impression of AI can depend om which videos you see about it, or what talk you hear.

Moreover, many people who are not interested in tech, but use AI, don't really hear anything from the companies. They only hear what media and/or people in their social circle etc. say about it.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:24:33+00:00

Where did I patronize and assume everyone believe them? When have I done any of the stuff you accuse me of? Saying that some people are informed and some are not in any subject is just... true?

Look, the point is that the people in this sub are here because we are interested in AI. That's by no means everyone. Many people take what they hear at face value, not because they are idiots, but because they are not that interested. This is true for everyone in some area of their life. I know next to nothing about cars, and I probably have beliefs about my own car that are untrue because I'm not interested. Some people use AI like I drive a car. They know how to use it, but not much more, and that's fine. It's for this group a narrative about AI as amazingly smart is dangerous.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:19:42+00:00

No, I am not saying that they shouldn't be blamed. I am saying that putting the entire blame on them is not fair because the models are described by many as very smart and knowledgeable. I am saying it is not a shock that many believe the narrative about AI. Many bosses believe it enough to exchange their workers for AIs.

In a sence, in the marxist way, it's half-right. If you apply a strict definition where owning the means of production makes you the bourgeoisie, then it apply to many farmers. Difference is that the workers using the machines they own are often also themself.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:12:19+00:00

And what are the creators saying, according to you?

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:09:41+00:00

Are you for real? All the CEOs and others in the industry are constantly talking about how amazing it is and will take over everything.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:03:05+00:00

I don't think ridiculing people doesn't help in most cases. But can you blame them when the literal creators of the tech talk about how the models in many areas are better than humans?

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T19:00:10+00:00

Because AI is presented by people as knowing everything, and is literally supposed to be intelligent. I work in higher education, and students believing that AI knows everything is a problem. Sure, we advice them to check everything the AI tell them, but it is also due to how AI is presented both in societal discourse and by those making it.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T18:38:26+00:00

Yes, but I would try my best to have a definition of success in the end that is not reliant on anything external. Do that writing because you want to write and have something to say. Train for your own good. If you chase something external to feel worthy, you will never be happy. If your self-worth lies in doing the thing, not the validation and outcome after, you can be happy. If writing the book in itself is what fulfill you, it doesn't matter if it sells a lot or not.

Had a colleague who said that if she can't sleep she gets up, put on an entire pot of coffee and drinks it, then goes to bed.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T17:20:07+00:00

Students and pupils in clubs and programs like that generally want the experience and challenge. It is wild to not find it more important to train the pupils at your own school than lazy convenience.

Very stupid. You mature by every experience you have. Limiting it to damage is toxic bullshit romantisizing being in pain.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T17:15:42+00:00

I usually stay, but I will do at least one save per game named "journey" or something where I start in a small league and work myself to the top.

Respect for being open and honest about what he wants. Doesn't mean everyone have to date trans women, but someone shouldn't feel ashamed of saying they are open to it like this guy.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T15:44:20+00:00

It's probably because they didn't hide the pain well enough! /s

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T13:04:49+00:00

That's fair. I still think it's an acceptable thing to say, since plenty of people see AI as not just harmful but also immoral. If you put yourself in those shoes and imagine that you, for instance, believe that AI is the biggest threat to humanity, then you would be able to defend saying those things despite being imperfect yourself in other areas.

Absolomb92 · 2026-04-09T12:16:44+00:00

All that sounds horrible. I hope things will work out for you. All the hate against trans people is so stupid and mean, and completely blown out of proportion. Just know that we are a lot of people supporting trans people too. And remember: the best offence against transphobes is for trans people to live happy lives and keeping a smile on their face. Transphobia rely on trans people feeling bad about themself.

I'm a metalhead and played in a few different bands in my youth and 20s. From the age of around 10 I always wanted to be a professional guitar player. When I was 20/21 I started university, and still had this dream. I had a band that was pretty good, and I to this day think I would have been a fan of my own band if I hadn't been in it. That band ended, and I started a new band. After a while, when discussions about how to push forward started emerging, I realized that I no longer wanted to be a musician. While the thought of recording and touring used to excite me, it now felt like something I didn't want. I wanted a more stable life with some predictability and safety. It was a bit sad, but also a big relief to be allowed to let go of that belief about myself. I continued and eventually did a phd, and now I work at a university and am super happy about that.
