The argument the mod writes is 👌
Update : there’s a new one that appears but, I’ve checked, that’s the same mod as the others
Update 2 : got contacted by the mod, overall sweet guy/gal we agree to disagree and keep the ban up, who said that Lemmy cannot be civil
we agree to disagree and keep the ban up, who said that Lemmy cannot be civil
had a similar interaction with another mod. they weren’t applying the rules unilaterally and temp banned me. I pointed out the hypocrisy/favoritism. they decided to lift the ban. I said, no, ban them too. we both broke the rules. they did it begrudgingly, so I blocked the community.
I refuse to interact with a community where mods begrudgingly apply the rules they’re entrusted with upholding. If I break the rules, so be it. if we break the rules we all are punished, no exceptions.
Can I be banned here if I would say something nice about ai (as tool not companies)?
Wear it like a badge of honor?
Single-Board Computer [email protected], Retrofuture [email protected], Space [email protected] don’t sound like AI comms to me?
Pretty sure they’re mod by the same guy/gal.
Oh no, AI slop will be removed from your feed? However will you survive‽
You claim to hate AI in real life but like AI in SciFi. Curious.
What? You like Star Trek, but don’t want to live in the Star Trek universe?!?!
Everytime they try AI systems in trek it starts blowing up starships.
Update 2 makes me smile.
Yeah pretty cool conclusion to all of this
You don’t need to redact your rap sheet, it’s public.
Ha right. Forgot about that. Didn’t want to bring too much heat to the instance
LCARS was a data access and retrieval system capable of doing calculations and simulations. It was not, I REPEAT, was not “artificial intelligence”. It did not try to act or sound sentient, it simply responded to commands and ran programs.
Though it could create intelligence. “Computer, make an opponent that can be better than data”. Ok, guess it’s time to make a sentient hologram then.
TOS had the m5, which went rogue and started attacking and blowing up other starships, and lower decks had the Texas class, which went rogue and started attacking other starships
There is at least one instance where it was written as sapient in TNG. That was mostly for a joke, though. Specifically, there was a running gag in early TNG with Data getting a bit too into defining things and someone (usually Picard) would interrupt him with something along the lines of, “Thank you, Data, we get it.” In one scene, Data is alone and only talking to the computer, which gives the line there.
You must be doing something right lmao
Obviously I’m not enough of an AI hater cause I ain’t been banned from shit.
Being banned from these cesspools should be a badge of honor.
These people understand Star Trek is fictional, often takes place on quasi-military vessels, and depicts a society that has some significant differences from our own, right?
But let’s for a moment ignore that it is fictional. Star Trek’s economical system is communism, I wonder if they also embrace it?
That is master-class trolling, that is!
A friend has compared generative AI to the electric monks from Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective agency.
I’ve found that the AI chatbots feel a lot like the Genunine People Peronalities from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe.
Oh god yes. Now you understand the suicides
You’ll have to spark my memories because I don’t remember those
From Dirk Gently
The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.
In the book, an alien ship crashed on earth, the crew asked an electric monk if their ship was repaired. The monk responded that it believed it was, the aliens tried to take off, and then the ship exploded because it wasn’t actually repaired.
In Hitchhiker’s Guide, Genuine People Personalities were AIs that tended to be obnoxiously cheerful, neurotic, or hyperactive. Doors with a GPP would sigh with pleasure when they opened and loudly ask if they did a good job if someone told them to open quietly, for example.
God ! Douglas Adams was fucking funny. What a shame he didn’t got to see our time
He had a unique way with words. I sometimes wonder how he’d feel about having essentially predicted how AI turned out.
