    Fuck “profitable”. It’s a tired concept that has led us down this dystopic path due to intrinsic human greed. Let’s start using “beneficial” as a guide instead.

      That’s a slippery slope though. Next you’ll start hearing about “empathy”. Where does it stop??

    Nick Clegg is not “legendary” in the slightest.

      It is kind of a legend that he managed to turn a whole generation against the Liberal Democrats for being a spineless Tory sucker.

      Are you sure his name isn’t Nick Scoffs? That’s my takeaway from the title.

      There are legendary villains too. But truthfully, he doesn’t even fit that bill either despite having worked for Facebook. Maybe he’s just the legendary wart on the arse of history.

      funny thing? if they’d limit it to “black or chinese” posts and plastered it with ads, they’d probably make bank

    They’re already unprofitable

    Because the point is to develop it enough that it can be used to enslave the human race

    I made a comment a few months ago saying exactly this, and that it’s clear they are fighting it so hard in court because they won’t be able to even use LLMs there will be so little training data otherwise. People said I was incorrect and that fb, etc would just pay for it. Turns out I was correct.

    Sounds to me like he’s saying the market doesn’t want AI, which is fine by me.

    The absolute arrogance of these people.

    They don’t seem to understand that we DON’T NEED AI.

    If it’s only “profitable” by stealing then don’t fucking do it.

    I scoff at the execs that don’t get shot. Life will never be liveable unless they agree to let someone end their lives.
