I'm afraid you can't just take the good parts of modern technology without the bad. You either let everyone have access to modern tools and we go extinct or you limit access to a small group who will have total control over everyone else. Or simply get rid of the technology. The sweet spot wasn't 1999, it was before we had TV dumbing us down, before we had microplastics making us sick and before we had cars destroying local communities.

Reject modernity, embrace nature

I think you mean answering questions, not search. Search would be giving you links or quotes from existing documents and nothing more. With time AI is going to get a lot better at everything. And it will become less wasteful so the environmentalist reasons not to use it will fade. The only thing that can keep people from using it indefinitely is understanding its devastating consequences for society and human existence.

The road is behind us but there's more of it before us too

The AI is autistic

Believe me they're hard at work trying to fix that. I'm hoping it takes them a long time but I don't count on it.

[–] StopTech@lemmy.today 6 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly my point.

It certainly adds convenience when you want quick answers. But the road to dystopia is convenient.

The censorship, yeah

Welcome to the community! However I think you need to change the post title to explain why this link is of relevance here. This dude is involved in autonomous weapons and AI surveillance that may be aiding Israel oppress Palestinians but I think most people here would already know those things are being used by Israel against Palestinians. So what is the new information here? Why should people browsing the community read this page?

[–] StopTech@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

Good you worked it out. Welcome to the community too!

alt textWSJ PATRICK SISON/ASSOCIATED PRESS Within hours of declaring that the federal government will end its use of artificial-intelligence tools made by tech company Anthropic, President Trump launched a major air attack in Iran with the help of those very same tools. Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic's Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations. The administration and Anthropic have been feuding for months over how its AI models can be used by the Pentagon. Trump on Friday ordered agencies to stop working with the company and the Defense Department designated it a security threat and risk to its supply chain.
