Apple’s annual World Wide Developers Conference on Monday is expected to herald the company’s move into generative artificial intelligence, marking its late arrival to a technological frontier that’s expected to be as revolutionary as the invention of the iPhone.
All it takes is for a deep learning algorithm to learn and perform menial tasks better than humans and that is it. Suddenly whole industries of workers could be made redundant, which would spike unemployment rates. We are not ready for that.
And before you say Universal Basic Income will save us, UBI is little more than a leftist pipe dream that would bankrupt any nation that tries to pursue it as an actual policy.

Buncha wet blankets on Lemmy. JFC.
I know there is a ton of hype around AI, but at least there is actually something there (unlike crypto).
This is the most exciting thing to happen with computing in a while and if you read Lemmy you’d think everything is bleak and hopeless.
There is so much opportunity to change the way we interact with computers and innovate.

Finally Apple is ready to use all that training data they say they don’t collect.
But every apple user has assured me that iPhones are so much more secure and that apple isn’t like mean ol Google and toooootally doesn’t collect all the same data from you.
They will also assure you that Apple totally doesn’t not collaborate with the CCP and allows them full access to all Chinese users data.
Apple users like to assure people of many things. :)
Apple user here. I can assure you, Apple sucks just as bad as MS and Google.
