How is that fucking legal?

Capitalism: “Numbers go brrrrr”

I came here to say this. Like, they’re not wrong.

It’s getting old telling people this, but… the AI that we have right now? Isn’t even really AI. It’s certainly not anything like in the movies. It’s just pattern-recognition algorithms. It doesn’t know or understand anything and it has no context. It can’t tell the difference between a truth and a lie, and it doesn’t know what a finger is. It just paints amalgamations of things it’s already seen, or throws together things that seem common to it— with no filter nor sense of “that can’t be correct”.

I’m not saying there’s nothing to be afraid of concerning today’s “AI”, but it’s not comparable to movie/book AI.

Edit: The replies annoy me. It’s just the same thing all over again— everything I said seems to have went right over most peoples’ heads. If you don’t know what today’s “AI” is, then please stop assuming about what it is. Your imagination is way more interesting than what we actually have right now. This is why we should have never called what we have now “AI” in the first place— same reason we should never have called things “black holes”. You take a misnomer and your imagination goes wild, and none of it is factual.

“Suspicious”, yeah. “Immediately making assumptions and then effing someone over”, no. I wouldn’t have been dumb enough to not investigate. Hell, if it wasn’t them, it could make a great story. “Yeah, my dad named me Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s hell, but it’s also kinda great?”

That’s not only stupid, that sounds fucking illegal.

I called you “bro”.

I didn’t say it was a good pun.

A pun.

You’re wrong. Come at me, bro.

Excuse me, but as a middle child, I have to absolutely object to that last statement. Middle children have their own unique sibling/personality complexes. :P

Oh wait, I don’t exist. Wow, that’s a stealthy, mean joke. That cuts, fam.

10 to 15 years ago, myself. Don’t remember exactly.

Yee. “Everyone is a bit autistic” and “autism is an infinite spectrum” really piss me off. Like, I have real symptoms. Trichotillomania and auditory meltdowns and hyperfocus are real things I deal with, people.

In the end, if you don’t share (some or more) symptoms, you don’t share a diagnosis— medical or mental. Autism needs to be understood so autistic people can get support and tools. If that means we need more-specific words than just “autism”, then that’s just how it is.

Don’t forget your dual-wheel, 4D+ mouse!
