  • I think your point is kind of silly. There are lots of people that can do lots of things but still people that can’t. I am also disabled. But I realized there are other people who cannot do what I can do that are also disabled. I think it’s pretty clear I was speaking of them. I’m not sure why they are suddenly unimportant in terms of a discussion. When speaking of a discussion, the most incredible breakthroughs are the ones that should be touted, imo. And also in my opinion, the ability to create where you couldn’t before, the ability to express your imagination that has been locked inside your head, is the greatest gift AI will give.

    Maybe you don’t feel the same way. That’s fine but don’t discount people with disabilities who cannot write or create right now.


  • I apologize that my choice of language was insulting to you. I am disabled(using your word, tho I grew up with and an comfortable with my own terms), so I rarely think about terminology for myself. I’ll try to remember I’m the future.

    As per your point, well I do see a problem with excess profits on the backs of other people, I also realize that innovation does not come for free. However you should probably look at open source AI . It is one of the fastest growing areas. I think if you are concerned about privacy and profits it would probably do you good to work with campaigns that are trying to get legislation passed in this area.


  • Ai will give opportunities to the handicapped in a very near future. Imagine a paraplegic artist or coder or sculptor who can describe to a machine their ‘vision’ . They can do that now even with a picture. Soon they can do that with a 3d machine. I don’t mean ‘make a painting of the mountains’ but instead ‘cadmium red mixed with yellow brush stroke in circles’.

    When you think of AI try not to think of the bad actors. Try to think of the good things that can come from it. All the worlds that will be opened up for people.







  • I suspect your downvotes are due to your ridiculous all or nothing speculation. No one can base the future on what’s happening right now. Yet you’re speculating it’s already failed. What a shit take.

    We don’t know if the fediverse will succeed yet on a larger scale. Sometimes migration is instant, like with digg, sometimes it takes time, like with Facebook exodus which is continuing as i type this. Not to mention people weren’t prepared for this migration so none of the tools to make it a replacement have been in place. But now people are actively working on building out the community. Maybe we’ll know in a couple years if this is a successful endeavor on a Reddit type scale. But we don’t know yet.
