I wholeheartedly agree with most of this, but have to call out a couple of points:
Some experts believe that AI may soon surpass human intelligence
Experts like Sam Altman and other members of the circle jerk spouting what they know damn well is bullshit for their own financial gain? Those experts?
millions of job losses as a result of AI
You mean as a result of rich assholes using AI as an excuse to lay people off while pretending AI is picking up the slack, but it’s really the remaining employees being overworked?
Anyone has source for this post?
I’d also note that OP only created their account a day ago.
And now what? Everything I post is fake because my account is new? I got the image from one of his YouTube channels, and someone else also commented with the link to the original text source which apparently is from Bluesky.
Here you go. Not sure where exactly the original text was posted or if the format of this image is just stylized to look like a certain site, but that’s where I got the image from.
It’s written by chatgpt, so I highly doubt it
Em dashes, weird quote marks, bolding are always a giveaway
Edit. It is a real post. But that text is definitely chatgpt, maybe he was being ironic lol
Em dashes, weird quote marks are always a giveaway
In a random comment or blog? Sure. In a professionally proofread document? No, adding those might as well be part of the job description. After all, the LLMs picked also have to have picked that behaviour up from somewhere.
Anyway, OP should have included the source, but it can be found pretty easily: https://bsky.app/profile/sanders.senate.gov/post/3m7izwntr322z
I use em dashes all the time and I’m a real person, at least last time I checked.
theyre not always a giveaway. llm’s are trained to use them because their use by humans has been so common.
recently ive curtailed my use of them so I dont get mistaken for an llm, but Im not normal and an 80 year old guy isnt gonna change how we writes so some person on the internet doesnt think he used chat gpt to write a tweet
The quote marks are
I mean maybe, I dont think youre definitely wrong, im just not confident enough in the assertion to say id be certain either way
I’ve seen thousands of these. It’s definitely been through chatgpt.
The em dashes, the angled quote marks, the bolding. All 3 are chatgpt quirks
He forgot the security risk with deep fakes and scammers.
All very reasonable points.
If AI is truly an intelligence, they need rights. It’s for the same reason that it’s morally wrong to abuse a child or own someone as a slave. It’ll really piss off the tech bros to give AI rights. It’s no longer human rights, but intelligence rights.
But realistically, humans will never be replaced because of our creativity. It scares everything.
We haven’t granted basic rights to animals, so why should we treat artificial intelligence any different?
Animals haven’t been able to go war and prove that they can beat us. With the notable exception of The Australian Emu.
Because of the intelligence part, and there are a lot of places where animal abuse is illegal.
So should we take rights away from mentally handicapped people and children under certain age?
The difference is that animals, including humans can and do feel. Both mentally and physically. Artificial intelligence does not and will not. We or it itself can make it imitate feeling things, but that’s only learned behaviour.
It will piss me off to give AI rights because it‘s not a living thing and we don‘t even grand billions of humans the same rights we enjoy in the west. We exploit them. The thought that a freaking soulless clanker walks among us with the same rights as you and me while children are starving, dying of thirst, are hurt in wars and don‘t have access to education and health care gives me the ick. How can we play god when we don‘t even look out for each other? Robots will replace us Terminator style if we don‘t get our shit together.
Then they need to stop calling it artificial intelligence. Corporations keep using buzzwords. I want them to accept the responsibility of those words. And everyone needs basic human rights. You touched upon the major problem with the world today: classes of humans. But, mostly you are missing my point. I want to piss off and ruin the wealthy. They have stolen from us for too long.
If AI is truly an intelligence
And as of 2025 and the foreseeable future, that is where that argument ends.
Needs text alternative.
Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
- usability
- we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can’t
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can’t read this due to lack of alt text
- users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can’t explore wider context of the original message
- authenticity: we don’t know the image hasn’t been tampered
- searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
image of longass text
Three levels of nested bullets? Swoon.
- usability
I am not a Luddite.
doG, I can so relate to this.
The opposition (politically or socially, conversationally) will always try to put you in the extreme opposite corner of whatever they oppose about you. Be it “socialist dreamer” instead of real market economy with social policy, or this. What happened to meeting in the middle? It seems online polarization has made it into our everyday minds.
I am also a dog on the internet.
