News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on. Keep on-topic
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I really don't get the "AI is the future" thing. Future of what? Any of the things it's capable of doing I would rather do myself, and the things it's not capable of doing are the things I consider most valuable.
My future, at the very least. It has allowed me to do things that were simply outside my ability to feasibly do. I certainly can't write programs or make art. My local AI restored some game DLC into working order, doing the archaeology and rewiring.
You are welcome to be oldschool. Your cohort are simply taking an path that will look increasingly strange to future generations.
Video Killed the Radio Star
No one is born knowing how to do anything. No technology has ever made others look strange except for early adopters. No one chooses to ride a skateboard or bike over a car and gets looked at as someone who's old school.
You have AI psychosis. Please seek treatment. You are capable of things, actually.
No thank you. The glasses I use, my medicine, the books that store the thoughts of others, my car, and my fridge augment my abilities. Far as mother nature is concerned, we are freakish, because we aren't as tightly bound to her rules and timescale.
AI is no different. My "psychosis", is just part of an emerging society that is unrecognizable to you.
Ah video games, yes I'm told those are popular. Admittedly I don't interact with many of the things that AI is good at, other than programming. And it's competency as a programmer is why I'm getting out of the field. Probably go be an electrician again.
It can make music , create art, and write but why would I want it? It can program but what software do I need that is so complex I need an AI to make it? 3 line sh scripts for text processing are not hard.
It can do theoretical math, but I'm not a theoretical mathematician.
It can answer emails but... Why? That's creepy no? And once again it's trivial to respond to correspondence.
All of the things it could replace are easier/cheaper to do by hand, and everything else is an extremely specific business case that I don't have.
I hazard a guess that I am not alone in this case.
