We tend think a new thing will only have limited effect and definitely won't change everything else in life and society. That is true for most things but it definitely wasn't true for the printing press, TV, cars or the internet.
Why couldn't we imagine working from home with video meetings and shopping online? Because of normalcy bias and we thought because those things had always been done in person that must be the only way it can be done. That turned out to be dead wrong. And the people who think AI won't completely upend the world will also be dead wrong.
There's no reason why AI couldn't exceed human intelligence and completely outclass us in every way like an alien superspecies complete with athletic yet superstrong robot bodies. Humans are going to feel way less important and depression is going to skyrocket once AI can do literally everything much better than you without even trying. And we'd all be at the mercy of whoever has the most/best AI/robots and they could treat us like cattle. Or maybe the AI will just turn on humans as a whole and kill us or find ways to exploit our biological processes for energy. Any cheers for AI today are very shortsighted.
Did anyone notice the article says Discord will be profiling you based on what hours you use the app, what games you play and your "activity" on the app?
If this is reliable enough for age estimation (risking fines from the UK if it's not) what else will they be using it for? Tracking every time you tell a friend something about yourself, like your hair color, sexual preferences and political views? I'm sure the pedo furries running Discord would love to abuse that kind of info.
This is the way
Can't anyone make a community on Scored? I don't think anyone is going to check if it's the original subreddit mods
