AI is like a hammer - eviltoast

Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough.

A good hammer is designed to be a hammer and only used like a hammer.

If you have a fancy new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

    I wouldn’t even call this AI, they just have an algorithm. That’s poorly tuned.

    I encountered the same issue, and that’s exactly why I’m here on Lemmy. Reddit and it’s Shadow banning habits have to go away.

    I don’t like having persistent social accounts, so I make a new one for each topic, Reddit, GitHub. Purpose specific accounts to do one thing. And for the last few years, every time I create an account like that, it’s immediately shadow banned. It’s frustrating, because my contributions are now thrown away, and it’s dishonest, because these services don’t have the politeness to even tell you you’re not allowed to participate.

    Because of that, a federated system like Lemmy must survive. That’s why we’re here

          You’re right! If Conway’s game of life wasn’t AI a year ago, it sure as hell is now!

          I wonder how many rubes I can sell it to…?

            First make it Conway’s as a service, then get at least a $3 billion dollar valuation, get your seed round in. And then sell it before you actually have to deliver any revenue.

            It’s perfect
