A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The problem with AI is the problem with capitalism.

Hiper-capitalists like Andreessen Horowitz, who had been pushing cryptocurrencies for a long while and still seems to be doing so, have vested interests in generating the AI-hype.

Absolutely. AI is a tool, it is as good or harmful as what people use it for. Many firms are trying to use it to extract monetary value and devalue existing labour (i.e. hiring editors to proofread Ai-generated junk instead of hiring writers).
