I mean obviously, the rotary phone is badass.

I wouldn’t even rank it as a tool, as tools are usually supposed to be useful.

What exactly is its intended purpose? AI companies advertise it as doing anything and everything.

I agree though , social media is absolutely a problem. But social media being a problem doesn’t mean other things can’t also be problems.

Sure, but by its very nature AI cares more about saying what you want to hear than what is true.

Further, the problem of AI hallucinations has no solution at this time which can be very dangerous depending on who’s using it.

I’m not saying you’re delusional, you seem to have completely lost the thread of this conversation in your defense of chatbots.

My point is someone who is already prone to delusional thinking will be sent down a feedback loop of affirming their delusions making things much worse.

If you’re mostly using a monitor I doubt you’d see a huge benefit from the jump in size.

As a personal anecdote I will say it’s easier to use a laptop around the house when it’s lighter and more compact.

Your best bet is to head over to a local Apple Store, Best Buy or anywhere else with display models and see how they feel to you.

Again, I’m not fucking using it.

I played with it when it was new but it doesn’t do anything useful, I’m perfectly capable of brainstorming on my own.

Back to the topic at hand, do you not see how helping someone brainstorm their delusions with a sycophantic chatbot could be dangerous?

Lmao, I never said I’ve never touched AI I just don’t use it for anything because it doesn’t do anything useful for me.

Yes, delusional content on Google is also a problem. But you have to understand how delusional content tailored uniquely to the individual fed to them by a sycophantic chatbot is several times more dangerous.

Yeah, because video games are definitely the same as a search engine that tells you all your delusions are real.

Yeah, because someone in a manic state can definitely be trusted to carefully analyze their prompts to minimize bias.

What do you use AI for?

I don’t.

So what is the correct usage?

Let’s face it, they’ve 100% talked to this man before will talk to him again and would like to minimize those encounters.

I mean, this probably works. I bet most cops see this and think “man I don’t want to interact with him”

It’s more that there’s little that can be done that doesn’t also risk making the situation much worse.

Something like going to war to depose Kim would lead to mass death and risk spilling over into a much wider conflict since North Korea has the backing of China.

Yeah, folks need to remember collective punishment is a war crime for a reason.

I mean, other types of displays definitely existed.

Well it’s certainly a privilege to have that option.

Thanks doom guy.

I mean, i don’t think you’re terribly in touch with the average voter if you think a platform of “let’s dissolve America” would go over well.

And that’s not even getting into the mess of SuperPACs and media groups.

Yeah, fuck those guys.

If you’re celebrating mass death you are a problem full stop.
