I think, just based on experience on previous tech revolutions, that #AI is neither useless nor it is going to repeal and replace human labor.

It just hasn’t hit the its roof, or more precisely constraints, yet.

Media only giving voice to either AI companies or AI researchers turned into doomsday predictors, is at least quite strong signal of a bubble.

If you feel that AI is evil, here’s couple of suggestions what you can do:

1. Engage and support open source ecosystem. It is essentially a crowd-sourced alternative to AI where people work together to realize the best possible software for other people and for themselves.
2. Consider #GPLv3 and #AGPLv3 as an alternative to making “standard Github choice” of #Apache or #MIT. It is a self-governing and collaboration enabling licensing model. I think AI makes #GPL more relevant than it ever has been so far in its history. I’ve at least started to pro-actively rethink how I license my own projects, instead of lazily just putting MIT or similar license.

More GPLv3 there is in the world, more there is legal risks for AI companies. It has that power, even tho was not designed with this exact purpose in mind.

@jarkko I agree. If you’re not doing cutting-edge research or have a company that absolutely knows what it’s going to do with #AI it’s pretty darn probable it’s mostly hot air and dreams of being funded.

The tech economy is simply setup to favour that kind of incentives, which then produces grifters trying to strike big on a marketing background. 😄

There’s definitely some cool stuff coming, but it’s not where the hype talk is.
