Who’s “we”? Big corporations? Because the average Joe doesn’t give a shit about pushing the limits of AI.
Judging by half of Lemmy and R*ddit, I don’t think many of us tech folk care about GenAI
We have the combination of knowing a little bit about how it works while also not trying to fire a bunch of humans or sell some shiny new product while the getting is good.
Startups can easily raise 7-figures by adding AI to their proposals and get seed money.
We struggle to fulfill GoFundMes for small town projects.
Humanity is doomed. (And I didn't even talk about the disgustingly gross allocation of funding for weapons of war vs helping the poor)
Royal "we", as in humanity. Your statement may be valid that the average Joe does not care, but it is important. Just as it was important to develop electricity to what is the modern grid today.
