@BillySmith I was there with the first minute or so, then it suddenly went "but what if we good-AI-ed?".
I've seen people doing interesting experiments with Open SOurce AI's running on local machines using their own training models, rather than the commercial versions that are part of the stock market bubbles.
I think that they're talking about the local versions. .
@BillySmith In the interests of "what if I've overlooked something?", I ploughed through the first 30min of the full 45min video.
Just nope. So much nope.
There's definitely value, beyond a certain community size, in having information dashboarded and making decisions in an online, asynchronous way. But there's nothing he shows on that front that needs "AI", just someone passably competent in data-vis.
The suggestion that it improves decision making because people who "don't care about a particular subject" can delegate their vote to the agent is... somewhat horrifying.
He doesn't know the difference between consent decision making and majority voting.
The answer to "what if there isn't an expert" is "the AI knows". Like how to fix your chainsaw apparently. Mmm, so much resilience.
There's a whole load of AI-psychosis language "it knows everything" etc.
@BillySmith Beyond the AI, it's also somewhat incoherent.
The intro is all "resilient community, systems that can outlast western capitalism", but then half the video is "build cool holiday resorts around the world for digital nomads to hang out as they jet around following the seasons".
@dash @BillySmith Yeah, I didn鈥檛 go as deep as you but I definitely got that vibe. You see it a lot in people who really want something to be real but don鈥檛 want to engage with what you鈥檙e actually going to have to do to make it happen. (No judgement - I say this as someone who is very susceptible to short cuts!)
@BillySmith @pete I only got that far through because I was watching at 2x speed 馃槃.
No need for apologies. The first few minutes were really promising. It's likely that there are others in that community (the ones doing the actual work with their actual skills) who would be interesting to listen to.
