I'm not unwilling to use AI in places where I choose. But let's not pretend that just because people do use it in one place, they are willing to have it shoved upon them in every other place.
I was searching for something on Omnissa Horizon here: https://docs.omnissa.com/
It has some kind of ChatGPT integration, and I tried it and it found the answer I was looking for straight away, after 10 minutes of googling and manual searching had failed.
Seems to be not working at the moment though :-/
If you answer no, does that make you an unwilling user of social media? It’s the most visited sites in the world after all, how could randomly injecting it into your GPS navigation system be a poor fit?
All the anti-AI people I know are in their 30s. I think there are many in this age group that got use to nothing changing and are wishing it to stay that way.
I just don't participate in discussions about Facebook marketplace links friends share, or Instagram reels my D&D groups post.
So in a sense I agree with you, forcing AI into products is similar to forcing advertising into products.
Or are they the only ones who understand that the rate of real information/(spam+disinformation+misinformation+lies) is worse than ever? And that in the past 2 years, this was thanks to AI, and people who never check what garbage AI spew out? And only they are who cares to not consume the shit? Because clearly above 50, most of them were completely fine with it for decades now. Do you say that below 30 most of the people are fine to consume garbage? I mean, seeing how many young people started to deny Holocaust, I can imagine it, but I would like some hard data, and not just some AI level guesswork.
So what are you talking about?
Personally, I'm still optimistic, at least for the emissions due to primary energy, because renewables and storage are just so ridiculously cheap now.
Unfortunately, all the other emissions are still enough that prisoner's dilemma type defection still comes into play. But I'm hopeful for cement, and have good reason to expect electrolytic reduction of metal oxides (beyond just aluminium) to become viable soon, as the primary energy is made increasingly renewable and cheap.
I agree that iPhone was revolutionary, but it was released back in 2007, well within the timeline.
Also once again, the general populace didn’t call, and doesn’t call those smartphones. I had a P900, and exactly zero people used the word “smartphone” back then, except marketing people. You remember terribly wrong, if you think otherwise. Also smartphone penetration skyrocketed not in 2007, but between 2013 and 2015. In 2010-2011, I was still considered early adopter. In 2015, half of internet users came from a phone. So no, that change didn’t happen before 2005, no matter how you want to distort reality.
