    AI always comes at the cost of human rights with how we are handling it. Maybe it could have been a niche useful thing, or a helpful tool. But no, the chatbots are become unemployment, destroyer of jobs.

      Also the people who do the tagging and feedback for training tend to be underpaid third-world workers.

    The problem when you have money pouring out of your orifices is you don’t really care all that much about costs.

    I think it’s pretty safe to say that when your country is run by a murderous tyrant who has his own mother arrested on [presumably] fabricated corruption charges, human rights are of little concern.

    Ah but then they can’t buy them, since they already spent their human rights on lavish royal lifestyles.

    One of the biggest issues running AI is keeping those huge data centers cool.

      It’s not a bad idea if you think about it. During the day you have lots of light and it’s cold there at night.
