Brey, every single debate about the inevitability of AI is literally the scene from Jurrassic Park where Jeff Goldbloom says: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
So if you want to get a handle on why these guys are full of shit, whenever they say "the power of AI" in your head just substitute "a genetically engineered giant dinosaur park with little federal oversight" in its place and you'll be prepared for the convo.
@AnarchoNinaWrites Jurassic Park is the peak idiocy rammed full of computer generated hallucinations for lolz.
We're not gonna get any stupider than when we made Jurassic Park anytime soon.
The only bit of the legacy I tend to revisit is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIxTjDjWyew
@proinsias I have no real desire to talk with you about why you don't like Jurassic Park. I don't really care, the quote is about capital's relationship with innovation.
@AnarchoNinaWrites sorry, my post was also about that but Jurassic Park the movie as peak capitalist computer generated shite hellscape.
Just cool to see people dredging up old capitalist AI slop to like it's the book of Revelation.
@proinsias It is a very bad movie, and was a very bad movie when I saw it as a younger person. We did however all see it, which means folks are familiar with the quote and its context.
No foul or whatever, but I am not actually a fan of the movie nor saying it has valuable lessons to teach us. It was just a quote everyone knows but rarely understands in context.
"If *WE* don't build the genetically engineered giant dinosaur park with little federal oversight, China WILL and then we'll have a genetically engineered giant dinosaur park gap, which would be a catastrophe!"
See?
"We revolutionized the world by building a genetically engineered giant dinosaur park with little federal oversight, and now we need a bailout to continue the genetically engineered giant dinosaur park innovation."
"Uh, what does the genetically engineered giant dinosaur park actually *do* tho?"
"Crimes, mostly."
