Is that seriously an "AI is like a child" poster made to motivate workers?
AI companies sure love to treat humans like machines, while humanizing machines.
Aren't humans just faulty organic machines anyways?
What a disgusting philosophy to have towards others. Please keep it to yourself.
To them, yeah. Worst part is they have to pay us enough to "live happily" instead of just keeping us in a box
I know. We should've made other organic machines by now but we are wasting time with metallic machines
Why not just use the "lesser" organic machines instead? Oh wait.
That's what I've been wondering. We could've find a way to upgrade the animals. But no. We are wasting our technology in tricking rocks into thinking.
Didn't the useless scientists think about how much more progress we would get if we had others to think alongside us?
