You could go and join the Amish!?

Ooh, another contender. But I doubt you’ll get about bronze

At this rate, remotely complicated software is going to become a lost technology

Well there’s a contender for dumbest comment of the decade

Well not being terrified of technology would be a good resource

It won’t even work as child protection, because horny teenagers gonna find a proxy or a vpn, or gonna find dodgy porn sites that don’t check your age

Can’t happen soon enough. However this is actually about control so any collateral damage is irrelevant

Yeah the same thing happened with the dot com bubble.They didn’t try to replace junior developers with ai, they just gave them pool tables in lieu of having any plan at all! When I graduated there were very few jobs in programming at all, and those that were were flooded by people with a lot more experience than a new graduate.We’ll get through it this time too

I graduated in 2002, just as the dot com bubble burst. Similar scary headlines abounded then. I’m not employed in it, but I don’t recall the tech sector disappearing and us all going to live in caves. Maybe I missed it?

It’s using energy, we need more renewables. That’s not a problem with AI. Direct your opprobrium where it belongs

Oh I totally understand that trump would do that, I just think you’re reaching because you have started from the position that “AI is bad mmmkay”

Random stretch is random

Trans people have objectively existed historically and there is scientific evidence trans people are telling the truth. So what now?

Yeah those things are either not happening or your ire is directed at the wrong place because you want to blame the new thing for existing problems. Generative AI is a tool, nothing more. A knife can be used to cook dinner or stab people but you’re not dead-set against knives because they’re older than you and therefore fine

What luddies were or were not is not really relevant to the fact that the term now means someone opposed to new technology for spurious reasons, which describes you perfectly

you’ve not shared any established facts, you’ve regurgitated luddite bollocks, so I don’t really think that’s a valid response. But you know that, d0on’t you?

Not really.You know you’re repeating nonsense

Amazing, everything you just said is wrong! Not a single valid argument. But that’s usual for luddites

And the award for dumbest take goes to…

All regulation of new technology is pointless because the law is written by people who don’t understand it. And by “new technology” I mean anything invented after the year 1900
