    The whole idea that these people were at once responsible for their condition but that it is also genetically predetermined so there’s nothing anyone can do to fix it is completely contradictory at its fundamentals 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s EITHER someone’s fault/responsibility that they’re in their situation OR it’s genetically predetermined and no one can do anything about it, it can’t be both since people don’t choose their inherent genetics ffs

    I think this is the best video so far to discuss the theft of AI. It's not just about using artist's work without their consent, it's also about whether they will be replaced in the future. It's not just about stealing from first world artists, it's also about the exploitation of third world citizens whose labor made this technology possible. And it doesn't ignore the genuine good AI may create for us, either. This is my favorite video on the topic so far. Thank you!

    look if machines replace every job than it points to the necessity of humans to work which is a stapple of the actual economy but might not be one in the next ... meaning if no one has a income or job then who will buy the products and with what? ... it might be a problem in the old model of economy but not a problem in the next economy ... which will have to change obviously into something new if no one has a job because everything at the limit of this reasoning has been replaced by machines .. the transition is going to be horrible tho as part of the old model is maintained as the new one rolls in

    They are never going to cite sources. That's literally how all this stuff works. It gets merged in together with everything else and you have no idea what went where. If you keep everything separated out where you can source it, then it's just Google (or a search engine). Which honestly is better than AI anyway. I want to know where my information is coming from.

    Yes, to those Egalitarians that the term, Hegelatarianism/s is ABSOLUTELY appropriate. Anybody...I Kant remember the author of Leviathan...my brother stole my manuscript of a novel I entitled, "Crime And Punushment". It was based upon our two lives. Therefore, I guess that is why he was imprisoned. A kopper* for a thought? * One Kopper (Copeck) is worth 10-15 Putin's/(years in the gulag) Formally valued at 100 equaled the lowest denomination of what is now called a Ruble. Though, this unit of measure is devaluing swiftly as compared to so very many other country's currencies.

    You judgementally attack AI as fake with a pushover. What a joke like most British accents thinking their air of superiority in wisdom lays in their generationally stolen or fake assimilation of the rich textured articulate stylistic sound of colonial empire rarher than holistic critique and departure from coddling elites and their wantons of mere civil allegations. Civil allegations are wobblers at best given standards of evidence and opinions thresholds required on either side. OpenAI is hardly just or targetting resell copyrighted works, rather like youtube long proven controversial model fully staked in US fair use doctrine for discoursing around copyrighted works exempts liability and provides a much less monorchical society like we yanks prefer. This is what Aaron Schwartz would have wanted and countless other virtuous hackers and disruptive piblishers. Game over for bs elites and IP gambits.

  • @waggishsagacity7947

    Call me stupid, dumb, or whatever you will, but I don't understand some of these concerns. For example, is it necessary to produce 9 varieties of toilet paper: white, pink, blue, beige, with 2 or 3 or 4 plies, wide or narrower, and so on? No, but does it create more pollution depending on any of these factors? Again no. So what does consumerism have to do with it? Another example: About 20 years ago, each CD was housed in a heavy plastic shell. Very bad environmentally and completely unnecessary. Consumers protested, and CD are no longer sold like that. So that was an ethical decision that had some meaning & impact. Commendable. But if the new cardboards casing come in various colors instead of just gray or light brown, does that mean that we succumbed to consumerism? I think not. And examples abound. The shoes Van Gogh painted, some said, connected the viewer to dire poverty and hardships of field workers. Really? By contrast, Andy Warhol colorful, frivolous shoes do not connect us to anything. Should they? Are some landscape paintings more socially ethical than others? Do we need to call one art and the other frivolous art? What nonsense. This is not a criticism of the segment. It is criticism of many of the sociologists who were discussed in the segment. Thanks for the program.

    Long story short, if you believe life is precious and fast-moving towards old age and frailty, I suggest not going past basecamp on the climb to understanding Hegel, for there are other mountains with far more rewarding views, and those won't expect you to take their word for it. Byung Chul Han's The Burnout Society is hot right now, and the lectures on Thomas Sugrue's channel are sublime scholarship.

  • @limricks5822

    Hegel was in vogue generation after generation, but he also fell out of favor in the same span of time. Any all-reaching philosophical system that promises absolute truth is as seductive as ever. Platonists refuse to take the hint that they've been wrong about a pure rational order, or a pure conceptual reality for that matter. It's pareidolia. It's also an over-attachment to purity, something which goes hand in hand with idealism, and totalitarianism. Never again. We're messy and irreducible to pure concepts, and philosophy is closer to happening on the toilet bowl than any doctoral thesis. Rodin's Thinker is what the French philosophers got right.

    I'm still waiting for someone to give me a reason to suspect that LLMs can even improve. It would seem to me that more data does not, by default, lead to better writing. I also don't totally see why more nodes would do so either. Also, if AI is learning from AI it will compound AIs generic blandness. I think it would actually have to become self aware to improve. I have yet to see a single person give a creible answer as to how they plan to do that.

    It is important to note here that "Fair use" applies to _copyright_ only,. Copyright infringement and _plagiarism_ are *_not_* the same thing! I'll give two examples below: Shakespeare's works are now out of copyright and therefore free to copy, change all the words to synonyms and publish. However, if you did that to one play and put your own name on it, that would still be plagiarism. Weird Al makes parody versions of other contemporary songs by other musicians, and he can do that because it is "Fair use" to do so. But he is not allowed to claim that "White and Nerdy" or "Like a Surgeon" are his original compositions.

    Congratulations. You have perfectly misunderstood The ONE, the substance of Spinoza. Spinoza’s Non-Dualistic ‘Nature’ has NOTHING to do with Panpsychism. A little less ‘Eurocentric’ approach, scouting just a little bit into Advaita Vedanta or Mahayana Buddhism would help to understand Spinoza.
