If Google was created in this criminal ai era, we would have been getting charged tokens and credits for each search, map distance covered or words translated

And nobody would use it

This AI era see a bunch of companies not making any money for now, so that’s just the beginning.

that wouldnt be very accessable

Google services are free for android users because they get money from spying on you. I would rather they not be able to spy and I pay a monthly fee for those services.

I mean... AI companies only charge per repsonse because it costs like 13 gazillion dollars to run their data centers for one second

Uh.. I wouldn't call them criminal for charging money. Almost all AI models run on awful Python codes, which are horrible, not optimized for performance, and is an interpreted language. Even those which were written in other languages are also horrible, due to their statistic and big data nature (instead of being actually clever/intelligent). They cost billions of money to run, and eat up more power than a whole town. Even when they charge you money, they are still going on a straight path to bankruptcy.

I mean wait until the government decides an AI company to buy and then it'll be free

Google was created by the government to spy on people, that's why it was free, ye

@jestdotty Worst than the government: private corporations.

@Tounai incorrect. corporations are a construct of the government. we've had this conversation before

I'd be more afraid of an entity nobody can criticize than one people can criticize. you can't keep this entity in line, it's "terrorism" to have any reservations about it. if you're not even allowed to speak about how it's touching little kids like in the case of the church, guess what, it's gonna touch a lot of little kids and become a funnel for touching little kids. the kid touchers are like, "wow the church sure has a good defense!" and all head there to be opportunists

@jestdotty

I wonder what is your dream society then.

I think pedophilia is universally condemned by the way.

They're gonna get their money's worth in 3-5 years just from the sheer volume of things people are willingly turning over to the AI.
Data is gold. And we're handing it to these companies on an even bigger silver, no, golden spoon!

@iSwimInTheC but how is data gold

what will they do with the data

@jestdotty sell it to advertisers and insurances

@feuerherz that sounds pretty boring

can't be that expensive if that's all they do with it

I want cool ideas for what to do with data
