Agree with this sentiment :-)

it’s the worst it will ever be.

I get the sentiment, but thats not necessarily true, chatgpt got worse for a whole 😛

Sanest take possible

I loved this. You captured it so well.

At my first job we had a table full of documentation that you had to comb through if you were stuck. The internet removed that table and made us way more productive, but we had to comb through the internet. Now AI is doing the combing through the internet for me and all I want is the answer to my questions.

I may be naive but the problem with these things is how easy it is to weaponize/fake training data Even in the best cases, like, oh you’re going to search the internet? With a stackoverflow thread from 15 years ago?

its possible it will all degrade into noise with it feeding back upon itself without a source of real truth

the technology* make no mistake, companies will continue the enshitification.

Good description. Like how can it not make a wide format label in two hours of promoting but it can be Dr Doolittle and save thousands in medical mis-diagnosis.

The real question is are you (or anyone) willing to pay a sufficient cost to make hyperscale AI economically viable? As to yet, I think this answer is no - at least in aggregate. In think for most cases, without fiat subsidies, AI is NOT actually a value-add (ie cheaper and better than alternatives) for most would be users. Also we are all being conditioned to accept mission critical defects from AI that would not be acceptable in any other industry or product - and I believe is largely because fiat Cantillionaires are completely out of ideas and are not just seeking out ritualized consent to confer upon them infinite “profits” with the absolution of all responsibility… #plebchain

if things keep going the way they are, thats going to happen 100%

this opinion assumes a lot of how AI is used. I agree if you are referring to vibe coding which I think is a terrible idea. AI assisted coding helps a lot, it's like an advanced static analysis tool

Data Center Boom Risks Health of Already Vulnerable Communities | TechPolicy.Press

We must examine data center locations in tandem with cumulative historical and societal contexts, writes the Kapor Foundation's Cecilia Marrinan.

AI data centers cause a lot of pollution

yeah but they will all be eventually powered by SMRs, same as Bitcoin miners

That people was me!

I hate the AI slop posts plaguing the internet. Eternal brain rot.

awesome!

if true, that’s better than nothing I guess. Though I need to look up what SMRs are. However, based on a video posted to reddit, someone’s grandpa has already died from a respiratory illness related to AI data center pollution. And their young-adult granddaughter now has a serious respiratory illness. so, the point is, prevention should’ve happened at the start. Because COVID already happened… Canadian wildfires causing nyc skies to turn yellow already happened … plus a whole history of industrial pollution has already happened.
