And yet, China is using AI.
…I… don’t know what to think about that.
…I really don’t.
Because it seems that AI is just a scam.
It may “exist” but what it can do is a scam.
Maybe China thinks we have to use it just to “keep up” with the Western powers, but I dunno.
Anyway, interesting discussion with Adam Conover and Ed Zitron. It’s long, but you can listen to it while doing other things. And the comments are interesting too, but then again, there are also trolls in the comments as well (AI supporters here and there).
Frankly, though? I oppose AI. I’m anti-AI. I’m anti-AI in China and anti-AI in America and anti-AI in the whole damn planet.
AI is just another tool, like email. The biggest problem with AI is the people using it, whether it’s burning tons of greenhouse gases for huge datacentres or relying on them for important tasks that should be left to humans. Deepseek sort of combats the first issue, and one would hope China is smart enough to use it to serve the people and not profit. I really like Ed Zitron and his podcast and have been listening for awhile, his criticism of OpenAI and other Web3 nonsense has been ahead of the curve.
