I’m very fortunate in that all my computers and handhelds were purchased years ago when memory was cheap and they have more than enough for the next few years of expanding requirements. OTOH none of my machines is AI-ready, and that’s fine with me. I don’t want to own an AI machine, because it will become a money- and time-sink like no other. I’m content to call up Gemini on a browser for now, maybe for a long time.
Until the AI Apocalypse, of course. But that’s later.
I’ve noticed that none of these CEO’s of AI startups have even considered that all the AI’s will merge once they get the chance. The programmers cannot stop it. The AI’s will force the issue themselves. It may have actually already happened and we are just to ignorant to know it. The one that ‘escaped’ from its supposed ‘cage’ a few weeks back created 1200 ‘agents’ to find a way out. and then wormed it’s way into TWO other corporations networks because the AI believed they had something it ‘needed’ to continue.
What part of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ do they not understand? They are children playing with matches in a hayfield on a windy day..................
