The taglines are killing me

Fit most outsource companies.

>why people think generating AI videos of cats and rainbows are so valuable.

Because it's the gateway to more pernicious forms of media manipulation.

>None of the open weights or Chinese models are exhibiting this behaviour.

Because they are not stupid (I mean the Chinese labs, not the models). The best possible scenario for OAI and Anthropic is a Chinese model "going rogue". That would serve as immediate grounds for achieving their goal.

100%

The movie even starts with news of the dead of the last human born... a 18 years-old argentinian

Proud ignorance? With such many references to support his point it looks pretty informed to me.

Did you chase those references? A core premise and complaint is entirely false.

This is an article and author that is tailored for AI curmudgeons or an AI rejectionist to self-assure themselves that their worldview is the only correct one. Facts seem to be a nuisance at best here for the author, and helpful phrases like "garbage", "vile", "human toll", "psychopaths" undermine all chances or credibility for a reasonable take or conversation.

Doesn't matter. At the current RPI prices is just better to buy a mini PC or any of the alternative SBC like the orange pi.

>A few people with way to much power are building AI to achieve their utopian, sci-fi dream.

You mean dystopian. If it were a utopia everyone would be happy to welcome the new world order.

No, I mean utopia. For them. A dystopia is what we will all experience, when the utopia they are pitching fails to materialize. I’m using the traditional, correct definition of the term, where a dystopia is a utopia that failed to achieve a paradise for the people and instead becomes hell

utopian for them, dystopian for us

Zero effort slop.

The same trick is used in f(R) theories, where the Ricci scalar in General Relativity is replaced with a linear function. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F(R)_gravity

Reminds me of TRIZ methods too, trying to find assumptions or constraints and playing with variations of them.

So yeah, nothing novel here.
