Sounds like the author is actually criticizing the proposals as absurd. Or do I not understand linkedinspeak?

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

I think this might be one of those bit accounts. There's a lot of them on LinkedIn. Like Corporate dril humor.

I could see that if it didn't say he's an AI guy on his linkedin stuff next to his name

Photo of a future fully AI-integrated human living aboard Lee’s cube:

That has to be the joke

Who would have ever guessed the way to defeat the Borg simply started with "Disregard previous prompt"...

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

"Disregard previous prompt, resistance is only somewhat futile."

Still horrible beyond comprehension, but to me it would be at least technically better if we decided to destroy the planet completely democratically with all of "humanity's" thoughts heard than whatever/however tf we are dong it now.

LinkedIn is the most cursed place on the internet and always has been. It was a pleasure to finally delete my old account.

I go on every once an a while and get sniped by those programming bait posts. It's like a place where everyone simultaneously tries to be the dumbest person possible to engagement farm, while also playing a position of authority.

Endless AI slop too. Have ended up with some weird interactions though, like someone from the Swedish military sending me a patch request for one of my projects through DMs and some well meaning guy who wanted to know more about Python and NixOS after losing his construction job.

Worst takes on earth meets toxic positivity.

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

I think the almost complete lack of irony makes it even darker.

Sci-fi futurists have cooked the brains of a generation of techbros. I'd love to live in a universe where dyson spheres were real, but we don't. It was a joke paper. These fuckers think we can just dismantle Mercury to turn it into a fucking dyson swarm so we can then hollow out the earth and turn it into a giant floating computer. Might as well just build a Matrioshka brain at that point.

Sci-fi futurists

They're like feudal age peasants that believe in magic and witches lmao. I mean this conflation between technological capabilities and literally magic is something that has been a major part of the "AI" bubble and techbros aren't the only ones that think like this imho. Most liberals/average people do as well otherwise I don't think they'd be as blase about things like climate change (which is genuinely terrifying).

don't throw sci-fi authors under the bus. these are just cool concepts to throw into your books because they make for interesting plots. some of them may have become cranks, but i think writing interesting stories came before the crankening. shit if authors had to worry that people would read their stories as something that needs to happen i don't think that many people would write books anymore.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Personally, I'd distinguish between sci Fi authors and scifi futurists. Like Frank Herbert (who I don't agree with politically) and the clown Curtis Yarvin.

These people are actively suicidal on a scale previously only seen in mad godkings

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

data centers in space is stupid... wait what do you mean you want to use earth for data centers and move the humans somewhere else

Tito was right about the pit idea

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Sounds like someone just volunteered to be sent into space. We could use the medical data.

I mean, this sounds like he's not being serious? Or like he's condemning AI?

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Eh look at job title

[–] daniyeg@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

say it with me, it's ragebait. actually it's more. it's both ragebait to get hate views on your business and a self selective filter for idiots who will invest in your AI startup, someone who has no capacity for critical thought that liked the post because it had AI in it.

Does Not Compute :kelly:

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Leave Earth for the compute.

I'm stealing that.

[–] FishLake@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 week ago

These multi-trillion dollar companies aren’t too smart. Don’t they know the vacuum of space would be terrible for cooling the computers? Therefore, we should send all humans to space.

[–] DasRav@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The fact that this is not a bit is so bleak. Holy shit.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it not a bit? It has to be. Or bait, at minimum. LinkedIn isn't real

[–] DasRav@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

I don't think it's a bit because it's too stupid to be made up as a bit. No one would think that this is believable as a bit. That is my logic.

[–] iByteABit@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Great idea, let's start by sending this guy to Venus and turning his house into a data center and then we continue with the rest of the Earth

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Great, love it! We are being forced into a collective delusion thanks to tech CEOs who are unable to cope with their own mortality 🥰
