Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I think it's almost the opposite. Technological development has stalled, utterly, on the promise of "making life more humane" in the way that has been promised for decades. The LLM stuff pretends it cares, that it will finally offer freedom from drudgery.
In the case of an environmentalist, it also offers a fleeting hope of an impossible solution to climate change. Though the only result is that when the geoengineering scams get into full swing they'll be full of promises about their "AI" enabled drone swarms offering intelligent cloudseeding to optimise B2BSAAS (Shade As A Service).
