Programming your drums yourself is perfectly ok, hiring a drummer is ok, both involve humans, their vision and feelings. AI is not ok.

If you played a lot of parts yourself and put your effort into them, why drag those AI drums in? That's like sculpting 90% of a sculpture with your hands and then generating the remaining 10% and 3d printing them in. For what sake?

Answering your question, it diminishes nothing except your own honesty with yourself and your listeners. If you're fine with that, well, you do you.

I can mitigate that in a number of ways, but the title was about ambitions of creators, not consumers.

You answered your own question :)

What's the name of this rhetoric trick when you equate people and government?
wartywhoa23··on Quad9 to exit France
It's hard to monger WWIII when people from all over the world talk to each other and know for a fact that it's not the guy to this or that side of a border who's the enemy, but their own governments are (working to the same squid endgame).

No, the LLM takeover is mostly by the samurai sword, but IPoP would definitely be of aid!

These snarky redditors, their go-to way of making an argument by picking at a single word in the whole sentence checks out every time!

Worry not, AI people! Greenhouse gas exemptions will be made for the future of work, maths and art, the salvation of the humankind, the genie that is out of the bottle, etc, if only at the expense of taxing your and your dog's fart.

> Some of my colleagues believe that this is a nefarious Company, whose only goal is profit, if necessary at our community’s expense. Perhaps there is some truth to this

> I do not blame the Company for getting there first. Who got there first is an irrelevant detail, a historical footnote

Oh, such a noble mathematician, he's so above the questions of moral, Truth is all that matters.

Almost as much as a paycheck from the Company.

Your feeling of inevitability is their private islands, mega-yachts, jets, mansions and immunity from prosecution.

Why, some morons have been summoning the Singularity for quite a while. Ask them what they're gonna do in that Singularity and get an answer along the lines of "pursuing hobbies".

There's a huge lot of suicidal people who ideate their afterlife as "pursuing hobbies".

They killed your comment, but you should know that you've posted it on the world's #1 AI propaganda site, where literally trillions of dollars are at stake and ROI depends on the correctness of the discourse running among the meat LLMs foraging or lurking here.

wartywhoa23··on Patch the Planet: global response coordination as agents uncover vulnerabilities
That's as noble as throwing breads at the crowd while being perfectly aware that there lurks a number of armed henchmmen of "noblety" in it, who won't miss the opportunity to amass those breads to resell them.

Or at least just childishly naive for failing to notice that beforehand.

Imagine a world full of locks that humans can only rarely pick.

Then, someone releases a pick that works for many more locks humans couldn't pick.

And says: You can't stop the progress. Now pay us to upgrade your locks (no-no, they won't be doctored to fit our next-gen picks, trust us!)

They're not unrelated, though.

Without massive scale weapon-grade NLP coming out of AI PR depts and targeting unwitting programmers, the LLM psychosis wouldn't happen.

I wonder how the humankind is supposed to avoid repeating the history if it's afraid to look at it?

Someone is very interested in averting people from knowing it in detail, and most people play along self-censoring.

> Be and let be

That's not quite practiced by those who preach "the genie is out of the bottle, and we invested too much to allow him go back, so adapt or die".

Do you realize it won't last long at such rate?

I am pretty sure that the whole open source ideology was developed and disseminated exactly by a cartel of those massive corporations with the sole intention to amass as much human-written code as possible to train AI.

AI algorithms were developed in 1950s, and what all those vultures were waiting for was a good dataset and enough compute power, which they saw coming in advance.

> It's easy to say that such people are prideful, arrogant, only cares about being better than others

The most vocal denouncers of egoism are utterly pathologic egoists themselves.
