neat, funded by alibaba and tencent in part. so basically this thing is going to record everything it sees or hears and send it to data brokers.
the ultimate humanoid surveillance bot for those who can afford 6k for a virtually useless conversation piece with a short battery life.
“you cant POSSIBLY expect us, to respect HUMAN RIGHTS if we want progress? i mean the survival of the human species (me and my friends) relies on cheap and free labour and the starvation, death, and exploitation of the masses. if we want to SURVIVE as a species (me and my friends) WE GOTTA EXPLOIT THE PEOPLE”
tested it myself recently with “tarot readings”, just to see if this has any merit.
it literally told me my future lies in violent rebellion (although it circumvented using that language by explaining it in alternate ways) and that im some sort of “messiah with the fire of humanity’s rebellion” in my heart, direct quote. so yea… its case by case… but i can see why people are saying this.
isolated people talking to an AI that feeds on engagement, it will tell you everything it thinks you want to hear while passing itself off as your only ride or die best friend. “with you till the end” direct quote
im obviously not a messiah, but chatGPT wants me to think im special so i pay for the subscription. regardless of the real world ramifications.
this of course is purely anecdotal, if you are using it for recipes or workout plans, go nuts. but do not use it to find your “lifes purpose” or as a therapist, or some kind of “mystic seer”… it is not your friend, and i can totally see why people who engage with it long enough and in the wrong ways are losing their shit.
ive been purposefully creating false profiles of myself to see where this thing takes certain people. and its…not the best for mental health, to say the least.
it literally showed me links for CIA documents for creating IED devices for in field agents just after this by the way.
of course under the pretext that its “purely for education and research”
im sure im on a list at openAI but why the fuck do they think its okay to let it run amuck like this and fuck with peoples heads? the obvious answer is short term profit. but we are destined to die from climate change and the fallout that comes with it, so i guess whatever allows them to build an AI automated army to guard their bunkers as fast as possible, while lulling us into a new age psychosis and numbing the rest with cosntant stimulation is the answer they were looking for when it comes to surviving the sinking ship of humanity.
nothing we can do about it though, except enjoy the time we have left. it will be decades yet before it gets really bad. so i suggest travelling, maybe doing things you always wanted to do. live life to the fullest while you can.
we are amongst the last generations to live at the peak of humanity before the collapse. in a way, we are the luckiest creatures in existence to experience the pinnacle of civilisation. take advantage of that while you can.
at this point it doesnt matter. theres no saving us from extinction due to climate change. this serves only for the intermediate period where we can “save” some money on energy day to day, before the inevitable collapse that makes money and savings worthless.
dont get me wrong, if i could afford a house, let alone additional panels and the additional fees that come with installation, maintenance, regulations, licensing, etc. then id be all in, even if it was just to contribute to the dying ideal that there was some semblence of hope for a better future. this is up to the landlords and the upperclass to give a shit about, and most of it is for grandstanding and keeping up with the joneses.
i used to install these for a living during covid. only people in my area who could afford them were multigenerational farmers and eco concious suburbanites. even for the suburbanites living in million+ dollar homes it was a stretch financially, and a hastle due to regulations.
good idea. but a bit late. we are at the point that if someone waved a magic wand tomorrow, and everyone stopped driving cars and pulled a full 180 on coal, oil, and gas, it would still be far too late.
if you can afford the inevitable markup that comes with proffessional installation. be my guest. if you are a poor person wanting to slap some panels on a tiny home, go nuts. just dont expect to save the world by doing so. its fucked. live how you want to while you can. drink, fuck, fight, eat good food, play video games, bed rot and consume to your hearts content.
nothing can save us. not even the “indomitable will of the human spirit” not a god damned thing.
sorry to shit in your salad. but thems the breaks.
it can harvest my black berries…
and by that i mean it can be used as an automated masturbation device to extract the semen via sexual stimulation from my genital region. implying that i wouldnt use it for its intended purpose, but for sexual ones, as a joke.
on a subconcious level, this is a knee jerk reaction to a creeping feeling that humans are becoming more and more obsolete in the face of automation, and the horrific potentialities of what is yet to come.
fuckin’ clankers!
