I want to know why you are such a weak fucking bitch that you gladly give up your ability to decide your own future for yourself? I want to know why you cower when the rich demand that they be allowed to suck the fucking life out of you, and have no motivation to fight back? Do you love them? Do you hate yourself?

Stop being a weak nihilist. It's not sexy.

It' s a crying shame that this is the state of affairs. I resent being carted out by Meta as "meta glasses accessibility token". I also resent being shouted at for using AI. And it' s not as if AI based tools do provide access. Rather, they make sighted people believe that accessibility is taken care of.

AI is not something that the average person can understand, and therefore, they will never have control over it--there will always be someone on high controlling US with it. It is very different from everything you just said. And it is uniquely dangerous.

Because the companies are not an anomoly--they are quite human. If you centralize all of the power and information, ruthless psychopaths will seize it.

We are human beings, and we are capable of solving our problems without robots, which require the centralization of all information, which is to say, all power, and which can only be weilded by very few.

We have not had generative "AI" for decades.

We've had machine learning and expert systems and neural networks. You can run those on powerful, but still obtainable, computers.

GenAI relies on extremely expensive and distributed external compute that only sprawling datacenters can provide and the only way even a government could afford it long-term would be to own it or completely conscript it and pay for it with our taxes while actively taking money away from other projects. You could bankrupt a country trying to feed the beast.

It is not sustainable.

The worst case outcome would be to make it illegal for anybody but the government to use so there is no longer competition for the necessary compute, nationalizing all the companies and technology, then classifying all research. I wouldn't be surprised if the United States tried that but I'm not sure the oligarchs would let that happen.

They don't say it as practical advice for dealing with something bad. They say it because they WANT it to be true. They want us to lose and they want the boot they're kissing to win and they're too cowardly to say that or they think they're being badass manipulators by disguising it but they're really just losers.

Governments and armies are leveraging this stuff at scale and have been for long time, it's not going away any more than bronze, writing, steel, money or computers are.

Thinking those trying to control and monitize this stuff are wankers seems basic, they are.

The business model is unsustainable. The companies that sell "AI" are losing money hand over fist. Running the requisite future data centers takes more power than we can generate.

I'm not sure what the crash will look like, but it is physically impossible for it to continue at current levels.

Only creative (and very likely illegal if we had a functioning government) accounting has kept it from crashing at this point.

...Incidentally, WW2 Germany was pushed back because the British took the position of "That doesn't mean we should be speaking German.". Also, the French, and the Russians.

The countries that said "Might as well join up with Germany if they're coming for us whether we like it or not"...did not come out of WW2 looking good.
