This is pretty much what everyone said immediately after Anthropic reached for the “too powerful for the public” excuse. Weve all seen this exact song and dance before. I suppose when you’ve just finished shoveling billions of dollars of speculative funding into a data center inferno its not acceptable to say that you rolled the dice and they came up snake eyes, but its still galling to be lied to so transparently.

Just like WINE!

You would suspect wrong.

Edit: Seriously, the 90s were a wild time to be a kid if you wernt growing up in a wealthy neighbourhood. We didnt have mass shootings, but there were plenty of regular shootings.

Well stuff from TOS and TNG era productions is pretty sought after by collectors.

But if you check the site, its actually a bunch of big screen TVs that have gotten the most interest, with office furniture and weird looking rocks close behind.

Im just sick of the marketing disguised as concern and doomsday warnings.

I dont know how many people here are old enough to remember, but there was a time when everyone knew that the Internet was going to be big, and they were pouring big money into it, but they couldnt quite say why it would be big, or what a normal non-nerd person might actually need/want the Internet for. So, they decided it was going to be recipes. People used to have cook books and boxes of notecards, old magazine clipping, etc with recipes, and having the right recipe was kind of a big deal, and the Internet was obviously an easy way to solve this problem. Everyone in the world could share the same giant cookbook, any time they wanted, just by paying a modest minutely fee to tie up their home phone line for 20 minutes.

The current AI pitch feels like that, except this time the line is that there might be an extinction level famine because everyone will forget how to cook once they see how great this cookbook is.
