This is different as you are wholesale giving over your thinking to an AI.

No they're not. Using GPS and blinding following what it says is "wholesale giving over your navigation to GPS". Writing things down is "wholesale giving over your memory to paper".

AI chatbots do not have agency, they are not actively trying to take over your thinking. People can prompt them to do their thinking for them, or they can prompt to get examples and help with understanding.

There are a few people out there with AI psychosis that thought they developed a new mathematical theorem.

It takes two years to get up to speed on a job. It seems laying off will cost the company time even if they are saving money.

I always wonder what happens to institutional knowledge in American companies.

Picture a space station where there's an error when trying to seal the door and they proceed anyway and it explodes from the pressure differential as all the air escapes out to space.

This is literally a scene from Interstellar

what institutional knowledge exactly? all they know is politics and intrigues. zero useful knowledge there

anything thats useful is documented. If its not documented, there will be incident/outage and it will be documented later as a lesson

Them capital class is all in on those things and owns all the media. But the majority of us are not.

I disagree. People who use too much AI will not learn anything and will not contribute significantly to new developments.

You clearly missed that the statement in quotes. And didn't actually read the linked post.

Its not going to be big. There is no obvious use for them unlike email or the Iphone.

Do you really need to reach users on X. It is filter for a specific type of user who don't share the ideals of the EFF. And racists.

The US have been removing leaders for decades.

I love how we in Africa can finally see open corruption in US. You guys can't be high and mighty anymore. You are one of us now.

Fuck me, that is a deeply depressing sick burn.

As a Southern American I love it too.

Every single one of my ancestors who were in the war--except one--fought for the Confederacy in the War Between the States. (Or the War of Lincoln's Aggression, according to some. Yankees call it the "Civil War.")

Going further back, my Cherokee forefathers (the Chickamauga) were equally unimpressed by what they saw and experienced of this entity (they viewed it as a malignant tumor) that calls itself the "United" States of America.

I believe my ancestors are envious that I get to see the day when the truth of the Empire of Lies is finally exposed in front of all the world.
