I genuinely do not know what to think about AI. There are so many things about it that are cool. There are so many things about it that are shit. It clogs up my grandma’s feed with fake shit, it’s making the cost of electronics go up, it’s consuming resources at an unsustainable rate and so on. It’s given me some useful tools when it comes to writing, and gives me quick answers to questions among other things, but to me, all the negatives outweigh the positives. I’m not sure if it will even be able to advance much further beyond this point given the extreme consumption of resources it demands.
What are some reasons why you support AI development? Give me some insight on why AI is a positive thing and why development should continue

this, but i'll point out that they go after the minor dissenters/wrongthinkers, because no one believes them when they're targetted. they target the poor and capable, as it's easier to manage fewer stable and capable people with above-board methods.

But that's not true. Creating images, search queries, quick writing, those have immediate benefits. Say what you will about artistic value but as a clip art generator you couldn't ask for more.

I think your take is reasonable. A lot of the criticism you’re making is valid, and anyone who pretends AI is unambiguously good is being dishonest.

Why I still support continued AI development boils down to a few things:

1. The harms you’re pointing out are mostly *deployment and incentive* problems, not inherent ones. Fake content flooding feeds, engagement-driven slop, rising hardware demand—those are consequences of how companies choose to use AI under profit pressure. Stopping AI research wouldn’t fix those incentives; it would just leave the tools in fewer, less accountable hands.

2. AI is already quietly useful in ways that don’t generate hype: scientific research, protein folding, materials discovery, medical imaging, climate modeling, logistics optimization. These are areas where speed and pattern recognition actually translate into real-world benefits, not vibes or content spam.

3. Resource use is a real concern, but it’s not a dead end. Models are already getting more efficient per unit of capability. Compute cost per task has dropped dramatically over time, and pressure to reduce energy use is strong because it’s expensive. The internet and smartphones had similar “unsustainable” arguments early on.

4. “It won’t advance much further” is possible—but even incremental gains matter. Better reliability, fewer hallucinations, lower energy use, and tighter domain-specific systems would still be valuable even without some sci-fi breakthrough.

5. The alternative to continued development isn’t a world without AI—it’s a world where it develops anyway, just without public scrutiny, regulation, or broad access.

Your framing is incorrect. Humanity made a faustian bargain when the Sumerians started scratching words into clay tablets.

Fast forward a few millennia and you get Boole, Bacon, and Leibniz giving us binary and the foundations of computing. Fast forward a couple centuries and we get Turing and von Neumann. giving us the computer. Take the ideas of Lick and all those other men and now billions of humans are exchanging information at the speed of light thanks to the military needing to do their shit well.

The train unfortunately can't come to a graceful stop, so just hope it keeps chugging and enjoy the ride.

Don't you have a project you should be working on? Maybe you should get a liberal arts degree if these questions make you curious.

Read The Information State by Siegel. It comes out in March and then you can stop asking these questions and get back to work.

He was absolutely right to take the embryos. If the most important part of the park is maintained by only one IT guy, a park that has the potential to make billions in profit, and you don't even want to pay him well, then you deserve to get your embryos stolen.

In the book it is revealed that he was paid less than he initially thought and he got more work than he agreed upon. But when he tries to leave, Hammond threatens to badmouth him to other employers so he doesn't.
But in the book, Nedry is also a bigger asshole than in the movies. And Hammond dies in the book.

Haven't read the book since the 90s but IIRC, it wasn't just that it was more work but that the work was far more complex than advertised. Hammond couldn't be too open about the nature of the work given the need for secrecy but once Nedry was hired, signed the NDAs, and saw the true scope of work, Hammond should have paid for a massive change order to account for the difference. Threatening to ruin Nedry's reputation if he backed out after having been tricked about the scope of work was asshole behavior that begged for trouble.

What about when the 8 year old white girl knew exactly how to get rid of his virus and how to use the park’s security software while under the threat of raptors because she dicked around with an Apple IIe at home

I vibe-coded this app. I know you fags are gonna shit on it, but it's actually decent. Built it to help people dealing with the same illness I have.

Started back when Claude 3.5 Sonnet dropped, now we're on Opus and a dozen other models. Used to love vibe-coding but my job and health issues have me burnt out as fuck.

Been stuck in perfectionist hell (and autism) scared to publish because I don't know how to manage a large codebase if it actually blows up. Should I just ship it or keep tweaking forever? Also, I have some react knowledge but decided to build it on iOS and swift, because I just don't want to deal with 2 play store and app store shit hiccups

yaml is not markup. markdown is markup. latex is markup. json is not markup. html is markup. xml is not markup.
a markup language needs to have the plain text be the primary citizen.

despite you having attached a gigachad image, gnu and lame is really short for x is not (just) y. and yaml is just not altogether

Few years at the absolute most
AI is hemorrhaging money right now, so my guess is they'll just start injecting ads into the prompts
So that when you ask for, say, a movie recommendation, it won't respond "a, b, and c are currently trending with high reviews" but instead vomit out a Netflix or Amazon Prime ad and shill their newest releases

I guess I have MW4 to thank for my fondness for the number pad. I had never played a game with controls that complicated, and when Dad first got the game installed, I was furious when I began the tutorial. It seemed impossible. I was used to just arrow keys to move, and space bar to shoot. Dad did the tutorial for a minute or so, and showed me how to play. Game became my obsession for years. I still hum the soundtrack. And I still like numpads.
