How long before it becomes literally impossible to purchase any device which isn't bloated with "AI" garbage?

bros i don't like the dystopian world we're headed to...
Didn't you hear bro? AI is LE BASED & REDPILLED because it makes troony artists on twitter seethe or something.
This but unironically
Shit take
Not an argument
you mean
*image gen AI makes troony artists on twitter seethe
language oriented AI (LLMs) is pozzed beyond repair, both cloud and local.
> implying image gen AI aren't LLMs.
Well, yeah, they're not. Quit trying to confuse people.
Why don't you just stop worrying so much about what people think on twitter and BOT. homosexual
Unironically based, whatever makes tranime „artists” neck self is good
I already got cameras that claim to have AI built in but I just use them to watch wildlife so I turned all the detection stuff off.
I welcome my wristwatch coming with a tethered rtx 4090
this has already been a thing for like 10 years, it was just never advertised as AI. any type of machine learning, face filters, etc.
Easiest way to add anthropomorphized human manipulation that reaches far beyond all the social media algorithms could have ever dreamed of in their wildest fever dreams. They will profile all your communications, everwhere. They will manipulate you in all of your applications, once adoption has reached what they consider to be critical mass.
So? Are you implying thats bad? Fricking luddite leave our board, we hate your kind
Cry more bootlicker.
Go suck on a tree branch luddite
Leave our board
Why don't you just stop buying new shit.
Ok, how's that going to work 5 years from now when you need to replace your designed-to-fail refrigerator or car and they all have AI? Companies are already eliminating the option to buy a dumb appliance.
Buy from goodwill.
that robot looks so cool, even though you'd think it can just tune its own amp instead of using a megaphone, but the imagery works as a way of humanising a machine
Did you know that they're even selling "AI-powered" baseball bats these days?
https://www.rawlings.com/product/RBB4MC3.html
Fricking BASEBALL BATS.
What the flying frick is an "AI baseball bat"?
AND WHY THE FRICK DOES ANYBODY NEED ONE?!
Theoretically a good AI baseball bat would be closer to cyborg augmentation than "AI" where the bat would basically give you aim assist. But a more crude example would be that it would have sensors to detect your form, your swing, and your speed and report that to an app of some sort.
My mouse driver got a 300 MB AI integration update, I didn't ask for this shit
it just means that you'll be able to frick it and the mouse will be able to talk dirty to you
I don't need that
you might not need it but you want it
you want that sweet mouse ass
Kek, maybe this is for the same people who use those mousepads with butt/boob molds
When did this switch from machine learning to ai happen?
It's a pretty successful rebranding, stupid people end up thinking their devices can think.
I have a love-hate relationship with AI.
I pre-ordered the Rabbit R1 and I don't have it yet but it came with a free year of Perplexity pro and I love Perplexity. The Rabbit has perplexity pro built in so I'm confident I will enjoy the rabbit even if it fails to deliver in other areas simply because perplexity is so good. But thankfully the reviews the rabbit are showing that it's delivering on the use cases I was interested in so I'm not worried about. I also use that AI tool from GitHub for my work. My boss gave me a subscription so I've been using it and it's pretty helpful. AI isn't inherently bad and I enjoy these tools to an extent. I use ChatGPT sometimes but only the free version which honestly isn't very good.
BUT, I don't want this shit built directly into my devices. The rabbit is an exception because it's solely meant to be an AI device. I don't want an AI in my OS, and I don't want it in my phone. If push comes to shove then I'll build a framework laptop and switch the Linux. As for my phone, I'll lock it down and only touch it when necessary if need be. But if it remains like current, I'll simply not use the AI features if possible - so long as it isn't doing sketchy shit in the background (it probably will).
What are you planning on using the rabbit for, if you don't mind me asking?
sex stuff
How is the rabbit useful for that?
they have put too much money into AI they have no choice
Most AI in devices already out there is just clever scripting. AI is also a marketing buzzword, so that needs to be taken into account.
"AI" has been in our devices for a while. Predictive text. Google search. Social media algorithms. It was just called something different before.
"AI" is just a buzzword.
I was given an LG 'smart TV' for free and I'm scared to switch to it. Still have an old Sony TV which: 1. shows broadcast television and 2. accepts a few inputs. That's it. Perfect.
I feel like I am going to have to debloat a fricking television. Opt-out of any online nonsense. The only apps I want is 'watching television' and 'using it as a display'.
You should be worried, all smart TVs detect the content of your screen and use that profile you. Impossible to opt out too so you basically have to disconnect the network device to be safe.
You guys make it sound like it's hard to operate a smart TV while keeping it offline. If all you're using a TV for is accepting and displaying graphical output of your devices, you won't need to connect it to the internet anyway.
MS ramming shit down my throat is why I'm Linux daily driving now. If I ps, regedit, gpo it out and you bring it back and turn off the "turn this shit off" option I used in a Windows update, you can kiss my ass and go frick yourself.
the only mouse i want is my trackball mouse
>purchase any device which isn't bloated with "AI" garbage?
It's probably going to be like back in the day where they felt the need to plaster "digital" all over everything, even products which had nothing to do with it like basic headphones and shit.
>Reeeeeeeee!
lol
Can't wait for the market to crash after the ai goldrush ends and investors find out AI isn't good for anything but fricking around and the directors see the power bill for the servers
I hate investors so much
Death to all investors
Tech is literally running on investors
The market value of shares is based on SPECULATION
There is zero actual value in major tech companies and most run red every year
Silicon valley needs a PR win every now and then to convince people to open their wallets

You will never be a real artist.
Why is an artist needed for a stupid frog meme?
Parasitic investors fuel all the major tech and nearly all the innovation, it kind of pays to have to pay dividends to stupid stockholders and what not.
But whoring your company out to investors is not for everyone. Valve remains private, in music tech Roland and Behringer remain private. Roland used to be public, but a CEO got fed up with investor bullshit and bought up most of the shares then forced a settlement to get all the remaining shares from shareholders and Roland went private again.
Behringer is hellbent on outcompeting and producing junk gear for low prices. 99% of musicians are poorgays, so Behringer is always appealing with their low prices, even if their noisy gear is shit. Behringer literally owns a whole city of factories in China, but still, they won't go public. It's cancerous.
God bless Behringer, I have a cheap USB interface from them. It just werks.
will be a while yet for that judging by the new stuff that's coming out, music is the new thing. but yeah, it's going to happen
Udio and Suno are good but better local models are needed now that can keep up with them.
True, Logi Options just updated and now it has a useless AI prompt slop
What is the best programming language with built in AI? Like I wanna calculate E=mc2 and add AI to it
WTF
What a bunch dikshit
I hope that was a troll. I mean it's pretty much perfect as a bait post but he could actually be that dumb.
They're just reselling chatgpt.
And it's always chatgpt, they never resell claude, bard, grok, or a llama model.
There's really not a lot that's required for that, so it's less bloat more spyware because anything you say or do around it becomes more training data.
