You don't think it's possible that offloading thought to AI could make you worse at thinking? Has been the case with technology in the past, such as calculators making us worse at math (in our heads or on paper), but this time the thing you're losing practice in is... thought. This technology is different because it's aiming to automate thought itself.

What do the capitalists expect to happen once they automate all the physical jobs and all the desk jobs? Do they just expect us all to die?
They lobby extensively against UBI-type initiatives and god-forbid any actual communist/socialist change be suggested.
Do they want us to die?
My first laptop was an Ubuntu machine with no battery when I was 4. I had no idea what Linux was, I just played the games my uncle had pre-loaded onto it.
It does, it's completely anonymised tho, and they pull in results from Yahoo and other sources (even Yandex). So while they do use the Bing API their results can be pretty vastly different from Bing's.
Lots of other search engine options.
Kagi seems good.
I'm currently using duckduckgo and it's roughly as good as google search at this point. I remember it being considered a joke when it first launched.
God forbid, bing is also an option.
Forgive my ignorance, but what did he do?
Was trying to get a friend to switch to jellyfin the other day and it turns out he's got a weird Hisense projector that uses VIDAA OS, which does not have a jellyfin app, but DOES have a Plex app. I imagine setups like this are probably limiting Jellyfin's adoption. VIDAA is actually less niche than I thought as well, heaps of cheap-ish TVs and projectors are running it.
I agree it's not a justification. I just think it's worth pointing out the hypocrisy when Elon has been platforming Chaya Raichik, who does the exact same thing (to private citizens who have done nothing wrong, mind you).
The right has been doing this for like a decade now.
Yep that's the explanation I've heard. Telcos shifting this mess onto the consumer is pretty obviously not ideal. They shouldn't have gone ahead with the 3G shutoff knowing these issues existed.
They could have waited 4-5 years for the majority of Aussies upgrade to a new phone that supports Telstra's VoLTE, implemented a fallback system on Telstra's network for phones that don't support it, etc.
But they didn't.
Super poor form imo. If our government were serious about protecting Australians they would do something to punish these companies. But they won't. And our slow slide towards America-style late-stage capitalism will continue.
I escaped a teams only company for a slack company a few months ago. Best thing I ever did. Plus I got a payrise.
The people who were used to the oral tradition were right. Memorising things is good for your memory. No, I don't think people will stop thinking altogether (please don't be reductive like this lmao), just as people didn't stop remembering things. But people did get worse at remembering things. Just as people might get worse at applying critical thinking if they continually offload those processes to AI. We know that using tools makes us worse at whatever the tool automates, because without practice you become worse at things. This just hasn't really been a problem before as the tools generally make those things obselete.
