If you say so

It was literally in the reddiquette that you’re not supposed to use them like that, but in practice, you’re absolutely right and that’s how they’re used.

Yes I noticed, sorry, bad internet connection, I have deleted them now.

Practically yes, despite the way that they ought to be used.

It’s such a shame. Lemmy should be a place where we can collectively share ideas and debate openly. Comments and posts should only ever be downvoted if they’re off topic, hateful or misleading. However, in reality people get downvoted mostly because someone simply doesn’t like or wholly agree with them.

It’s still better here than reddits awful circlejerks and echo chambers, but not by much and we should be wary of devolving to a state where people are disincentivized to post because they have an idea or opinion that may only be slightly off kilter to the hive mind.

The mob is fickle, brother.

The hive mind has concluded AI=bad and any comment that doesn’t go along with the consensus is going to get downvotes.

It’s really not that different from the beginning of the industrial revolution, when cotton mills first started to implement the spinning jenny, leaving many workers out of a job who’d go in to the factories at night to smash the machines up.

No one wants to go back to spinning cotton all day now though and it will be the same with jobs taken by AI.

Well your comment sounded like you were implying that regulations are needed that currently aren’t there.

I used to be against losing the headphone jack, but now I’m without one, I honestly don’t miss it.

No more wires getting caught, tangled or damaged and the sound quality is just as good unless you’re an audio engineer.

Is the insinuation here that the AI industry is unregulated? Because I’m not against regulations that would drive these improvements.

I think it’s exactly what I’m thinking about, unless I’m missing something specific that you’d like to put forward?

If I own a bottled drinks company and the energy cost is 10p a bottle but a new, more efficient process is invented that would lower my energy cost to 5p a bottle, that’s going to be looking like a wise investment to make. A few pence over several thousand products adds up pretty quickly.

I could either pocket the difference as extra profit, lower my unit price to the consumer to make my product more competitive in the market, or a bit of both.

I think it’s fair to say that pretty much every industry is more efficient and cleaner than it used to be and I don’t see why AI would be an exception to that.

I don’t understand the hate for AI. It’s a new technology that has some teething issues, but it’s only going to get better and more efficient.
