And which are those? There is no technology all major tech companies have invested in like AI AFAIK.
Maybe the dot com wave way back, but are you arguing the Internet came to nothing?

AI is already VERY successful in some areas, when you take a photo, it is treated with AI features to improve the image, and when editing photos on your phone, the more sophisticated options are powered by AI. Almost all new cars have AI features.
These are practical everyday uses, you don’t even have to think about when using them.
But it’s completely irrelevant if I can see use cases that are sustainable or not. The fact is that major tech companies are investing billions in this.
Of course all the biggest tech companies could all be wrong, but I bet they researched the issue more than me before investing.
Show me by what logic you believe to know better.

The claim that it needs to be strong AI to be useful is ridiculous.

saying every X user is a fascist seams an oversimplification.

That’s a straw man, nobody I saw here claimed that. The claim is that they don’t mind fascism. Which is not the same.
You can take a country with only 10%, if the remaining 90% remain passive. Staying at Xitter is remaining passive about their fascist propaganda.

I think you are confused, this is not lemmy.ml, and lemmy is open source, which is the part where it definitely becomes a false equivalence.
Because just because the developers may be communists, that has zero bearing on the content of lemmy.world.
The developers do not own lemmy. And do not claim control of the platform.
Musk is a fascist who owns and control twitter, and has used it to push his fascist agenda, spending $40 billion to be able to do that!

Lemmy is by the people for the people.
Xitter is owned and controlled by the worlds richest narcissist, who has claimed total control, and is using it to push fascism.

So very much a false equivalence.

I see you are unable to actually argue your point, and instead choose to continue with the ad hominem.
I’m still interested to hear what bubble it is you consider me to be in?

I understand you are hurt and angry.

That’s ad hominem.

But you have to understand there are people out there from all around the world

That doesn’t change anything, whatever country you are from, using Xitter means you are using and thereby supporting a fascist platform.

You are in your own bubble

OK, and which bubble is that?
Seems to me that the ones in a bubble are those that continue to use Xitter, oblivious to it supporting fascism, or accepting that it does. Now THAT’s being in a bubble.

False equivalence.

that have no contact with politics

Ergo they are not against fascism. Which means they are OK with it, because they don’t care either way.
Good job, you just helped prove the point.

who ate firmly against fascism

Eat the rich. 😋

Ooohh if it’s for MUSIC I guess it’s OK to be a fascist.
But you know the bands go where teir followers are right? And he is supporting bands that ALSO don’t have a problem with fascism.
It goes both ways.

So because there aren’t other options that are as good for your personal interests, you are OK with using a fascist supporting platform. But somehow you think it’s unfair to say you are sort of OK with fascism, since you are using a clearly fascist supporting platform.

You know, that’s called compromising your ideals for convenience. And if you are American you got what you deserve with Trump.

Seems to me the rationale is flawed. Even if it isn’t strong or general AI, LLM based AI has found a lot of uses. I also don’t recognize the claimed ignorance among people working with it, about the limitations of current AI models.

He is writing about LLM mainly, and that is absolutely AI, it’s just not strong AI or general AI (AGI).
You can’t invent your own meaning for existing established terms.

To have to navigate a screen to find a control is a traffic hazard. Also if it’s just to play music.
Physical buttons are always ready to be pushed.

Seems to me a lot of people are getting an intolerance to light, so don’t expect too much.

That’s it!! Now I will NEVER use an iPhone as a server. 😋

You are delusional both about Musk and conservatives.

Ah yes, every year every grade gets a little bit easier, because everybody can just take what’s been done all the previous years.
I listened to this crap about “stealing knowledge” when Japan rose like a rocket among international economies, the song is always the same, and it’s completely ignorant of the fact that ALL rising economies did it on the knowledge of others. But probably none more than USA.
There is nothing wrong with that, and now USA has advanced far beyond the technologies they originally inherited from Europe.
And China is doing the same now, just like Japan did half a century ago.

Yes they are even stealing more advanced technologies from us than we have, I don’t know how they do it, it’s quite amazing. /s

I don’t see how China can be prevented in becoming a global leader in many or even most industries and technologies. The more important they are, the greater the likelihood that China will take the lead, because they will make greater effort.
As I see it, China has the economy, educational system, people and leadership to achieve it.
USA has better economy, but lacks in leadership, and can’t even maintain their infrastructure properly.
India has similar population, but is behind on economy and education.
Europe lacks in population and leadership, and is somewhat hampered by language barriers.

The only way to prevent Chinese dominance in the future, would be for USA, EU and allies to pull together. But there is zero political commitment in that direction, and with the election of Trump, I don’t see that changing for at least the next 4 years. And without it, China will soon become undisputed economic industrial and technological leader of the world, because they have ALL the necessary ressources, and make the necessary political decisions followed up with economic incentives.
China is doing this in every key area, while USA is trying politically only in ONE SINGLE AREA!! (chips)
There is no doubt who has the political leadership for the future.

PS: I am absolutely not a fan of China and their 1 party system, or their foreign policies ATM, they have become more aggressive in international politics and against their neighbors.
I am warning against letting China get too far ahead, just like we were many that warned about Trump. And probably with the same result.
