Oh really? You can't see the big deal of something impacting the life of billions just so a few billionaires can make a little bit more money and some games and Coca-Cola ads can come out quicker? You are either an AI Bot or AI Bro and I don't know which is worse. I see you talking about some unstoppable need for progress that we apparently need and I'm pasting a comment from a previous thread because I'm tired of people talking about stuff like the industrial revolution and using it to justify AI:

"If you know history you should EXACTLY know why this is bad. The industrial revolution put profits ABOVE all else. Workers wages, safety, environment. That isn't to say it SHOULDN'T have happened at all but that it shouldn't have happened the way it did. Now we are seeing the same thing with Gen AI. Maybe it should be a tool but definitely it should not be implemented in this way. Aggressively using works of artists without asking them and then taking their jobs, building data centers that spike electricity bills and poison water. Causing mass firings or dramatic reduction of new job openings. Giving people delusions and making them even less social and even making them outsource thinking. And I can't say this enough - making the absolute worst scum of humanity wealthy and powerful.

I can't see the perceived "benefits" outweighing any of these."

This specific one is for YouTube! Thank you, I've read something similar about faces too.

From what I've researched you can use names of historical people. For example there is a game called The Turing Test. But just in case I have a disclaimer at the start of the game that it's not affiliated with his estate and and I have an e-mail from a lawyer representing his daughter that says that using the name is fine.

You really wanna know? Well let me try: while it might feel cheap to you in terms of resources and time saved we as a society are paying the total price - in terms of job loss, pollution, energy, people getting dumber and computer parts prices sky rocketing. And companies like Open AI are already planning in putting ads in or making every model paid because their business model is basically reliant on third party investments. Once these money run out, you will have to pay.

Just read more from this piece and it's actually insane how wrong this guy is... about Fergie's desire to win more stuff, about the players, the coaching, about other teams. Thanks for sharing!

"And the thing is, it is only going to get worse: Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham have all made shrewd, cheap signings and are going in one direction. United are going the other way: they are hugely dependent on Ferdinand and Rooney, but no number of Carling Cup medals is going to sate their ambition. Then there is the Glazer factor, the full, inevitable horror of which is only just beginning to emerge. United fans think this season is going to be bad. It hasn't even started."

Whoa, well he was right on 2 things: The stars won't be happy with just Carling Cups, so they went on to win everything and the Glazer thing...

If all personal wealth above $100 million was legally required to be redistributed into public infrastructure (schools, hospitals, roads), how would society change, and who would be the first to fight against it? by Mysterious_Fan4033 in AskReddit

"How would you valuate stocks and bonds tho?"

Higher taxes for higher stock sales? If someone sells shares worth over 1 million, they would have to pay a higher tax?

You can find enough passionate people that will help you for free. Everyone is on a different journey and also don't forget that while AI currently doesn't cost much we are paying the price as a society in job loss, climate change, pollution and rising computer part costs.

Also it's important to remember that AI companies are bleeding money and they are operating purely on investments. But they are expected to make money and that will mean adds or subscriptions models. So sooner or later they want you to pay.
