>Being against AI is being a luddite
Why do i never see this fallacy called out?
Isn't that like saying that thinking space shuttles were shitty launch vehicles is being a luddite? That instead of going back to rockets we should have insisted on making more spaceplanes when the technology proved to work, but was also pointlessly expensive, unsustainable and dangerous?

The "luddite" accusers don't understand technology whatsoever.

If the world transitioned all together to nuclear power in the 1950-1960s, we would have had 100 Chernobyls, Fukushimas and 3 Mile Islands. Now that the technology has matured somewhat we can make much safer nuclear power plants. Research is ongoing on alternative power transmission systems beyond just boiling water.

Maybe in the future we can make working spaceplanes by using SpaceX innovations in heat shielding being done as we speak.

But it's absolutely necessary and beneficial to call out shitty technologies, even if they do work. Shitty products disappear all the time, and there's no reason that cannot happen to LLMs just like it happened to VR recently. The technology is there to stay, but it can just stay in academic books and museums along with many others.

Why don't you let AI technology progress naturally then? Why don't you let the technology gradually improve over time through market selection? Because you are a luddite.

Being against progress and calling for a halt to AI (as if that's possible lol) is being a luddite. Simple as.

>>108949172
When VR was purported by tech industry insiders to be the next big thing, everyone said
>That's stupid. I'm not buying that.
And that was enough.
There was no need for a VR moratorium. There was no need for VR regulations. There was no one screaming their head off about "VR safety." It just died because it was a bad product, and that's what happens to bad products in a free market economy.
If AI was truly the same, you wouldn't need any of those things either.

oh fuck off, VR didnt have zillions in VC funding demanding a return and an obvious bubble and zillions more of paper "revenue" between a cycle of a few companies. everyone will suffer except a few kikes when that pops. i dont mean 2008, i mean 1929-1941

Meta is probably the company most well known for throwing money at VR technology.
Metaverse total investment: around $84B
Meta AI investment for 2026 alone: at least $115B
These two technologies are not even close in terms of how much investor money they've drummed up.
>>
>>108949513
Ok.
So what?
>>
>>108950089
The amount of money spent on VR was high, but not as high as that spent on AI, which is so high that it is propping up the US economy and threatens it were it to pop. VR wasn't as important as that.
That's the point the guy you are replying to (or rather, failed to reply to) was making in the first place, i.e. the topic of discussion.
That's what the bit you didn't quote

i'm not reading all that but being against ai because you are some degenerate redditor furry "artist" complaining about some kind of non existant theft like when i download a car is gay and retarded.
thinking ai is bad because it actually fucking sucks and doesnt help and whatever code it generates is spaghetti even if it's functional is rational and a good opinion because i believe it.

4chan is mostly bots. You're arguing with bots. most people know to just ignore them

There were and still are to this day. VRChat was the subject of multiple lawsuits and government regulatory actions. You live in a bubble, kys if you're even alive and not one of the bots raiding 4chan 24/7

Here's Meta doing all the same health and safety regulations in VR that they are doing now with LLMs and AI, only a few years ago.

I look forward to the next goalpost shift to how this is totally different and not exactly the same pattern of make new technology -> regulate it until no one wants it -> it collapses.

Western nuclear power plants were always safe.
Even Chinese nuclear plants we always safe.
Only Soviet plants were dangerous because Soviets build them as cheap as possible disregarding safety.

>but Muh Fukushima and TMI
0 deaths and 0 deaths.
How is it not ultimate proof of safety when even during or after a meltdown nobody dies?

Point is: safety is a choice, not a technological deficiency - put economic profits above safety and people will die no mater how well you understand the technology.

because it's being artificially propped up by multi billion dollar corporations seeking to enrich themselves further at the expense of the normal folk i guess
>>
>>108949225
Fpbp
Being critical of new technology isn't bad, but regurgitating talking points from fear mongering journos that don't understand the technology is a low IQ stance. OP probably believe that AI literally runs on water or something.

How many boosters did you get?
>>
>>108949225
I agree. They should let the technology progress naturally instead of artificially accelerating it by pouring billions into it and blowing up the economy in a desperate attempt to find even a single real-world use case. It will be viable when it's viable and there's nothing that can be done to speed it up before then.

AI kills jobs. AI data centers kill communities.

AI threatens our way of life. If being opposed to it makes us Luddites, so be it.

AI could've been great. It was on its way to become the real life version of thefactory.exe. But it became gay and retarded instead. And this gay retard then went on to steal my ram and my gpus. I weep.

Absolutely nothing about the way AI is being forced is natural progress
