It sounds comical, but it's terrible that they think consumers are so stupid as to put their trust in Coinbase, which looks more like Evil Corp to me. What's worse, they're right to think so, because the normies will run to the safety of their recommendation, the stablecoins that are nothing more than garbage backed by more garbage. Not even the subprime mountain stank as much as the ETFs and stablecoins backed by fiat currencies and bitcoin controlled by corporate insiders.
I don't know if they've ever done this, but it would be interesting to know how corporations work to maintain the appearance of control over something as individual as bitcoin.
Perfect, faultless. Except for the following:
use it for tasks we don't value, not ones we do.
Even in these activities, attention and human work are needed, otherwise the criteria for everything, including what art is, become contaminated by an opinion about something that people think is the supreme of human creation, and if it is, there's nothing wrong with that.
Machines are incapable of judging art; they can only replicate what is already there.
It's good to see that no matter how much you've participated, you have firm and clear positions on this. That quote is beautiful.
There seems to be a lack of this being and differentiation between people, art is not and never will be something that a machine can create. No matter how beautiful it is, the moment it is established that it was made by a machine pure and simple, it will become dead.
Without detracting from the work you presented in this competition, what you did there is more like a hacking job.
Unfortunately, and I say this with regret, not everyone wants or will have this freedom. When the normal thing is not to give a damn about your privacy, sharing your entire way of thinking and acting with completely useless technology will be the normal thing. What you can do, you do for yourself and for those you care about. Social networks and anything decentralized is good, but nothing replaces acquired knowledge. Whether it's online, through books, guides, articles and courses, or through formal education. Knowledge and human connections ennoble us.
Ps: I'm not talking about you @optimism, but because I know that people will read your question and then my answer. It's a joint construction.
The dystopian technologies of fiction don't seem so fictional nowadays, just as they don't have that air of technology that we see. They're blending into normality like a symbiosis.
Haven't computers and a big tech be doing the same for decades now?
You made a good point, big tech did this long before AI. It's just that now they have the help of something that takes not only attention, but also trust, the core.
As you've said in recent posts, it's hard not to notice when art is being pushed aside in favor of reduced costs and uncritical shareholder demands.
It makes a lot of sense, I hope this wave passes and while I wait I'll be there to put the issue back on the ground.
I don't think that's the case, I'm using the recent tab. As @chaoticalHeavy said, I seem to have entered at a bad time.
Quality content about lifestyle, freedom, diy and anything else that's useful and catches my eye. Science and economics are topics that interest me a lot. I have my sats and here I intend to spend my time consuming quality content and criticizing the bad ones. I'm demanding, so I'll be as annoying here as I have been with stupidity.
Are you studying this? Very good, I'll definitely read it when you share it. What I've noticed is that this kind of content doesn't get much attention because people aren't going to waste time and money on it. Point for the platform.
“When an inscrutable technology becomes an invisible technology, we would be wise to be concerned. At that point, the technology's assumptions and intentions have infiltrated our own desires and actions. We no longer know whether the software is aiding us or controlling us. We're behind the wheel, but we can't be sure who's driving.”
What an excellent quote to describe this problem. We have it with many technologies, tools that have made work easier and left us lazy in the eyes of our parents and grandparents. AI is on another level, it's something that presented itself during a moment of great fragility for all of humanity and that has been taking the place of people's Ego, almost like a small surgical replacement. It's on a deeper psychological level and that's why it's more damaging.
Unfortunately, I don't have the same technical knowledge as you, so my defenses in this case are good old-fashioned staying away and listening to what the community has to say, if you find anything, please share it.
your concern is not without precedent
Good old-fashioned telemetry delivering everything that someone with good knowledge can triangulate. Terrible.
We recently had chatgpt data leaked in google results, it doesn't refer to private machines running their own models, but it's still worrying.
We had a discussion about this not too long ago
All the points raised there are very much what I observe in relation to people who make continuous use of it. Especially this one.
Now I understand your point and from what you've told me it must be tiring to have to go through different types of content and quotes to rebut a point someone made in one of thousands of podcasts. I hope it's useful then, just as I hope you remain as resilient as you seem to me now.
Data. It's not because it's running locally that your information is completely protected, the model is processing and being trained, what guarantee do you have that it won't share insights with the developer, or that it will do so in a future moment of carelessness during an update or through an extraction from an agent who has an interest in data like this?
Most importantly, making yourself dependent on an AI makes you open to concepts where the AI is controlling many aspects of your life.
This type of transcription existed in the community, but unfortunately it didn't catch on. By that I mean it didn't have to be done by you. And why do you need to summarize a video like this, when faced with situations like this the most common question I ask myself is whether it's worth it?
I don't care about appearances.
I misunderstood that you could use summarize to make it more presentable in an email or other type of communication. That's my criticism, but not yours.
why are there so many posts about AI here? I figured there would be a lot about bitcoin, not that I'm totally interested. Have I entered at a bad time?
For all these tasks we have machine learning, a term that has been suppressed by the AI trend. It can already find these things better than keeping a trojan horse masquerading as a productivity assistant that feeds on your routine and data to supplant in the future that dependence you already feel on being a disorganized and somewhat clumsy human.
Besides, for all these things a good personal organization is enough.
You can do it yourself and you'll gain more knowledge by doing it. Maybe even ask a human friend for a review.
I've used AI for this and I've seen how silly it was to waste time on something I could do myself and still get out of my comfort zone. It puts you in a low-level dependency zone, modifying something that should be authentic out of a need to appear better to those who will read it, which you are not, robotic and shallow.
Yes, you'll be fine. Especially considering that you're above average or very close to non-standard knowledge, a kind of knowledge that makes you free and immune to all kinds of bullshit that comes to steal your freedom.
Not using it is extremely feasible since you haven't needed it so far. As mentioned in the article itself, AI is reactive and not active, it depends on commands even when you put it to do repeated tasks it's just following your “from to”. There's no point arming the enemy with something so trivial when we already have software that does it and it's not LLM.
