Well actually cod is meant to be played by adults only

So, you know, it's a good deed in a way. A very deceiving and lucrative one, but still good ๐Ÿง

Actually last time I checked apple did their keynotes mentioning the environment and stuff, greenwashing their choices... I'm curious what they'll do now.

Just like Tesla, they might have saturated their liberal userbase, I wouldn't be too surprised if they took a more "neutral" stance

Actually about Gates, does anyone know about his stance on the current fascist takeover?

Look, I understand it can come off as pretentious. Perhaps it is

But let's frame this a second.

AI, as I'm sure you are all aware, is a very old concept with useful applications dating back in the 80s. Not "the future is bright", but "this is a useful tool that is already helping in many fields".

Then one day, in the last 5 years, monopolists start doing generative AI to offer a flashy useless and wasteful service.

We then start calling this specific abuse of the technology, and of tens of years of passionate research, like the technology itself, overshadowing the rest.

If you think there's nothing wrong with that, I understand why my comment is unwanted. I think that it's wrong, a generalisation we wouldn't accept in other fields. I will refrain from making examples as I don't want to sound even more pretentious.

I guess I made my stand, I'll refrain coming back to this post at this point.

I'm sorry if it sounded OT, the title triggered my comment, and I think my point stands on that. With all respect to the contents of the article.

Let's please try to be more specific

"AI" in general is just overpowered statistics, which can be used in many very useful ways, including saving life and reducing the work needed to fulfill the needs of a population. AI can help plan maintenance to infrastructure, saving resources.

The issue is the use of Generative AI that does no good public deeds, that is just a waste of resources, trained without consent on the data, to make investors happy.

Which is more complex than just saying "AI", the same way "Monopolistic social networks that exploit their user's data for toxic advertisement" is more complex than just saying "computers" or "the internet"
