    Neanderthal in the valley!!!

    AI is progress! It came out of nowhere, just like tractors, combine harvesters, and cars suddenly appeared.
    Whether you like it or not, you have to live with it.As always, technology is both a blessing and a curse...!

    AI comes from here: Planetary system 23, 4 billion kilometers away, at the Red Shield Galaxy—turn right... and stick to the speed limit of Mach 12, or else you'll get a hefty fine!

    And not only that: as citizens, you will also pay the electricity and water costs for the data centers.

    If AI scrapes human knowledge, and humans haven't a fucking clue how to cure cancer for example, then how the fuck is it supposed to... or anything else we don't know how to do. :hillbilly:

    You answered the question correctly and passed the aptitude test—welcome to our company!

    The AI machine doesn't get sick, doesn't need a vacation; it is perfect, knows more than any single human being, and is vastly faster...!

    Team up with others in an union with solid international connections with other unions. If you focus on the local only you will keep getting fuck by the industry. This AI disruption is not about music or creativity alone, is about impoverishment of the workforce via theft in plain sight, sanctioned by or own governments and subsidized with our own taxes with little to none collective resistance by our part.

    Even AI companies are trying to limit their own hubris.
    Because we all know in the inside how it is going to end : if you can clone/mix human songs on an unlimited market and time, and FLOOD the market with it ... music business will simply die soon.

    Who is going to pay big bucks for studio recording ?
    For advertising campaigns ?
    For touring ?
    For albums ?
    For streaming the same sh*t ?
    ...

    So yes, go AI !
    And destroy this world of LIES.

    I am facing reality: AI is unstoppable.
    I read up on the pros and cons, as well as how to protect myself and lead a self-determined life.

    If things get really bad, I might eventually give up the internet, toss my smartphone in the trash.

    because it can search endlessly for patterns, and run endless equations and theoreticals, all while having all knowledge freely within its "brain".

    AI is a product of human data accumulation!

    First, knowledge was shared by word of mouth. Then it was carved into stone.
    Then came the printing press. Then the PC and computer technology. Then came AI.

    After that, we'll probably be storing data in glass, etc.!

    Amazing nobody has said "I told you so" considering how many people tried vehemently to say it wouldn't replace and steal everyone else's work on here for quite a long time. If anyone still bothers to read Global news, a few places already have redundancies due to A.I.
    I am neither saying nay or yay, I want to see how far humans let it go before they wake up and remember it is only another tool, or if they follow the historical path of human ego and stupidity and let it completely run their lives to the point where it is almost irreversible like The Internet and everything is in it, including your bank accounts. Think on that one.

    The crucial factor is always whether you, as a human being, can make a living from your job—or, if your job is replaced by AI, whether the state you live in covers your living expenses. Bill Gates once floated the idea of an AI tax to fund payments for the unemployed.

    I'm afraid at this point that's nothing to brag about. Also, very few thought it would get so out of hand three years ago
    I don't get that part. Oversimplifying here, most people we are average consumers and a minority have most of the power.
    So which group of people are you talking about, do the average people have a choice and these things would be necessary context for me

    At one point I came to peace with the taught that majority of people are just speed running their demise and only thing they care about is few seconds of personal satisfaction even at the cost of someone else's entire life, they don't think that far ahead, they don't even care about themselves that far ahead. Talking to this people is pointless, they don't have ability to empathize, think rationally, they are guided by lowest common instincts.
