Comment Why isn't A.I. impressive? (Score 1) 211

MMmmm....lemme see now...

1) A.I. is driven by fanciful notions. For example, Hi I am Sam Altman, you should be using A.I. for everything, even if it doesn't work because I want to make trillions and well, basically have it tell me how to live forever and travel the Universe with my Trillions.
2) A.I. is fundamentally anti human, anti life and little too overly SATANIC, right down to its crappy language that forces everyone to use: Python. I will never write a single line of Python. If it isn't C or Java I am not interested. Why should I be?
3) The people pushing this fancy search engine, which they constantly spend millions to convince you otherwise, lie. Not just lie or mislead, they do it on purpose. ANYTHING so that the perception of A.I. IS NOT just a fancy search engine, but yet another stock opportunity.

Liars, cheats and not too terribly bright=A.I.

There are numerous facts and points about how stupid this all is, and I am not going to cite all of them other than the fact this thing is now a huge GDP impactor on the USA economy.

Which I would like to point is nothing but a search engine. The Emporer has no clothes and there is nothing intelligent about it artifically or otherwise.

If it fails or tanks we could be looking at a sudden death of entire sectors of technology and industrial capacity which won't recover for decades, if ever. I wish I could say we had great minds, and wonder men like VonNeumann working on it with great chances of success.

I am sad to report however, that most of these people are not particularly bright nor are they all that great business leaders other than the fact some moron gave them all this money for one purpose only: Fire everyone nwo that we have a wunderbar machine and travel the Universe with our trillions and live forever.

I am not shitting you, that is what these people that head these A.I. companies are thinking.

I wish I could say this is going to be worse than the 1930's by some measure when it blows up, but alas, it will be unprecedented when it does and the only we to restablish order world wide after it does blow up is war, and authoritarianism.

Such a bright future too look forward to you 20's and 30's somethings.

It may be a trite saying, but it's as true in education as it is in a gym. If you don't exercise your brain, it's not going to improve.

There's a reason weightlifters don't use a forklift or crane to pick up the barbells and do a dozen reps. The problem is not that the weights are in need of lifting. And that's the same problem with homework. The teacher doesn't need a stack of 5 page reports; what they need is for their students to practice using their brains.

Unfortunately the education system is designed to evaluate output instead of process. It's easier to grade a paper or a test, not evaluate a demonstration of knowledge. It's always been ripe for cheating, but now the cheat tools are everywhere and made legitimate by techbros demanding AI productivity. So either teaching will change, or we'll head straight for idiocracy and nobody will be left with the skills to wonder why it all went to hell.

Reinventing the wheel in Rust. History of this industry says thats a bad idea.

Diversity is not strength, it is chaos. Picture the Kernel as the Tower of Babel.

PS: I might be biased due to the fact a lot of these people coming out of institutions do not understand machine organization. They write basic stuff like linked lists, queues, hash tables like they were on a mainframe with one CPU in the whole system. Really bad stuff coming out of our institutions now days. It might explain why our entire company the youngest guy is 59 (me) and the oldest is 78. I don't have time to explain to a Master Degree guy basic POSIX threading and Machine Organization of todays complex processor architectures from Intel and AMD. They should know all that when they graduate. Sad.
