Great points.
Especially regarding the environmental aspects, I feel like the whole thing could just be solved by zoning datacentres as industrial and applying slightly stricted regulation.
AI doesn’t kill the environment by itself, it just needs a lot of energy and there needs to be some planning put into providing clean energy for datacentres without spinning gas turbines or raising energy prices immensely for the average Joe.
Nobody’s privacy was violated. Privacy laws are very strict in Italy and before any research is done on health data you have to sign and tick the box to specifically allow it. The data was also not handed to any company as the research was run by a local university.
How was anybody’s privacy violated? Also I didn’t do anything given that I just read this on a newspaper and am not in any way connected to the hospital.
You are judgmental and ignorant. You think, as many other people here on lemmy, that you are right about everything all the time. I don’t deny that the AI industry has very big flaws. I fully agree and I believe that in the long term we will need public ownership of AI companies. I just disagree with the fact that AI is wholly bad and brings 0 positives.
No point in replying. Everyone here is convinced that AI is exclusively a scam to inflate stock prices and brings 0 benefits or productivity gains in any field ever nor is it going to anytime in the future.
This is not to say that there isn’t a bubble or that AI will solve all problems in the world, but it does have plenty of use cases and many are already in place. For instance many 100s of likely rape/violence cases have been discovered at my local hospital by running the xrays and scans through AI, which hadn’t been identified by the doctors by themselves.
Well betting does work for what it’s meant to do. If you wanna know who is favoured in a football match your best option is looking at the betting sites.
Agreed that these “articles” are purely advertisment.
Qual è il caso d’uso di un server windows? Perché non usare linux?
Wtf. Scummy move on their part. It’s probably just to scam the lazy/unknowing people who won’t check.
We just threaten to not renew the contract and they renew the same price every time.
The internet is fiber cable, the TV channels are through a satellite dish.
I only keep them because my satellite TV provider (Italy) bundles 1Gbps internet + Netflix + paramount plus + their own channels and programmes for 40 euro a month.
Otherwise I’d be long gone.
This is basically a list of things that are wrong with the U.S. or problems in the world.
I don’t understand how this proves that capitalism is bad. If the world still hasn’t solved all its problems, then capitalism is inherently bad?
By all metrics, the world is much much better now than it was 100 years ago. And it’s mostly thanks to market economy.
All countries that have tried something different have had to resort to some flavour of capitalism in order to have any meaningful development.
Also, nobody said our economic system in its current form it’s perfect.
I know it is. I’ll still interact with it and say my opinion. Don’t really care about the down votes.
Everything you see, use, touch, eat every day has been made possible by capitalism. If not for capitalism, we’d all still be farming and dying by 40.
Imagine if people said the same when telegraphs were invented, or phones, or the internet, …
All these technologies provide police state material, and non-democratic states do become police states (China, Russia, Iran, …). But there also democratic states that despite using these technologies are not police states.
The struggle for freedom is a political issue that has been there since the beginning of times and will continue to be there. It’s politics, AI won’t change this.
