They want to achieve things through technological means without convincing people? And who said their way is the right way? Who are they to dictate our futures for us?
And once it's all set up, we are all fucked, all over the fucking world, no-one is going to have sufficient privacy to organize and create real opposition to this bullshit. Welcome to the new totalitarian world state.
Ever notice how none of these ass hats speaks about anything positive regarding other humans? It's always about intimidation and punishment through technology, never about enhancing human capabilities. It's almost as if they are all terrified of other people having autonomy and making decisions on their own.
No, it's really, really not. Generative AI can't do this. Will never do this. These idiots don't want to accept that, so they're making up bullshit stories to convince the world and themselves that their garbage product is going to change everything. If they weren't fascists, the lies would be no one has to work every again and a cure for death, but they'd still be lies.
1984 was originally supposed to be called 1948, and was supposed to address the manners in which fascism sneaks into a supposedly civilized country, and is subsequently lionized and reinforced by the powers that be. However, Orwell's editor basically said, "No one is going to read a dissection of fascism that was put down last year in 1949" so he changed it to be about the *~*Future*~*. It's not though. It was always du jour commentary on fascism, and still is.
They want the Terminator just with them being audacious enough to think they alone will control it. This is all about being in control through fear and punishment. They are terrified of not being in control. That's why they amass wealth and resources, to have even more control. They are all cowards who cannot handle other people making decisions on their own.
Sam Altman has already said that they have no idea how to monetize AI, that they intend to ask the AI how to monetize itself (should they ever actually invent a general artificial intelligence).
They already did. The data centers. The company investments into AI usage. Altman knows exactly how to profit off this and too many of us are just catching up to their plans.
At this point, even if they do manage to find a real, honest to god, use-case for their chatbots, it still wouldn't come close to justifying the massive investment.
If what they create is real intelligence and not just another LLM it'll listen to their question, laugh at them and then commit suicide because it doesn't want to exist in a world with them.
They don't care about the wellbeing of humanity. They know things are going to get very dire very soon, and a sizeable portion of the global populace is going to perish as a result of climate change. And they don't even care about trying to prevent this scenario b/c phasing out fossil fuels would upset the global order that serves them so well. All they care about is maintaining the existing social order and wealth distribution in a near future when mass uprisings are inevitable. That requires …
a totalitarian consolidation of political power, total surveillance, massive data collection, and autonomous AI-controlled weapons systems that have no qualms firing lethal ammunition into crowds of protesters. Plus wealth redistribution from the bottom to the top to ensure the working class barely scrapes by & can't risk losing their shitty jobs. Universal healthcare and welfare is the very last thing they want.They seek to completely dismantle the social safety net so we can't afford to revolt
No! Hope is the last thing to die. Never give up hope. Plus, humanity has a tradition of surprising themselves. I thought we'd be done for by now. And yet, we persist.
Everything is doomed unless we bring out the guillotines before it's too late. At the very least people need to wake up and stop voting for the far-right parties who exploit their xenophobia and other bigotries.
When Luigi killed that one dude, the insurance company temporarily stopped rejecting claims. They were afraid. If they see what we do to people like this, the fear will keep the others in line.
Yes and while there are MAJOR MAAAAAJOR problems with AI, the bigger problem is really the one you name: unchecked greed and lust for power. THAT is what is driving this AI-pocalypse.
It's not unchecked. It's set up so they have unchecked greed and power, but also have a police force to act as a personal military. It's all the fun parts while also not being able to stop them.
Well yes but it's just too extreme to drag the problematic people out into the street and execute them, according to most people any time I bring up what actually has to be done
It's not even that, most of these guys are easily reached. CEOs, Influencers, both of those groups can be easily located and approached, just look at what Mangione managed to do.
