(not that I much agree with the classist overtones of the original, but fuck me does it come to mind often)
it makes me feel fucking ancient to find that this dipshit didn't seem to get the remark, and it wasn't even that long ago

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who stepped down as Microsoft CEO 24 years ago, will appear on the show to explore the “AI revolution coming in science, health, and education,” ABC says, and warn of “the once-in-a-century type of impact AI may have on the job market.”

billy g's been going for years with bad takes on those three things (to the point that the gates foundation have actually been a problem, gatekeeping financing unless recipients acquiesce to using those funds the way the foundation wants it to be used (yeah, aid funds with instructions and limitations..)), but now there can be "AI" to assist with the issue
maybe the "revolution" can help by paying the people that are currently doing dataset curation for them a living wage? I'm sure that's what billy g meant, right? right?
unironically part of why I am so fucking mad that reCaptcha ever became as big as it did. the various ways entities like cloudflare and google have forcefully inserted themselves into humanity's daily lives, acting as rent-extracting bridgetroll with heavy "Or Else" clubs, incenses me to a degree that can leave me speechless
in this particular case, because reCaptcha is effectively outsourced dataset labelling, with the labeller (you, the end user, having to click through the stupid shit) not being paid. and they'll charge high-count users for the privilege. it is so, so fucking insulting and abusive.
"we couldn't excite enough people to buy yet another windows arm machine that near-certainly won't be market-ready for 3 years after its launch, so now we're going to force this shit on everyone"
I'm sure every poster who's ever popped in to tell us about how extremely useful and good LLMs are for this are gonna pop in realsoonnow
I agree, you're quite right, and I thank you for taking the time and putting in the effort on such a wonderfully thorough portrayal of why your argument is total horseshit
