"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

As usual selfishness and sociopathy will cause incredible destruction...
I can guarantee not one of these assholes salivating over the prospect of eliminating all employees is even considering what happens when only ~5-10% of the population has any form of employment to pay for anything. They only care about how to pillage their own personal kingdoms.
It was the same already with Outsourcing. Same with Nature.
I suspect this is very much a Tragedy Of The Commons situation: no single one of the people overexploiting the system will by themselves destroy it and even those who are aware that such behaviour will end up screwing everybody in the Future they either think somebody else will make up for it or that when the time comes they themselves, as individuals, will be alright and screw everybody else for being suckers.
Distributed responsability, Sociopathic levels of "I'm alright Jack", people just convincing themselves that it's not happenning basically because it's their job to not believe it and plenty of those aware of all this being forced to do the same as the rest because if they don't they'll be outcompeted by the ones doing it and go bankrupt.
Tragedy Of The Commons situations are maybe the best reason for some kind of Regulator Authority overseeing things which stops individual actions that in aggregated destroy the commons, and here we are at peak Neoliberalism whose main policy push is "no regulation".
So this thing will only stop when there's a systemic collaps by which point we'll in the ruins of it all, far behind than we were when all this started.
if you play the thought of absolute ruthlessness to the end, you know exactly what they would do to the now useless excess population.
Oh 100000%, you can even see it in the language of Reich wingers in the US. If you're unemployed/useless then die, you don't deserve assistance. I have no doubt in my mind the Musks and Bezos of the world have absolutely no issues whatsoever with letting people starve to death.
I meant more that when no one has money then who is buying their products? Even business to business enterprise eventually has a customer that is selling to the general population. If we have no money then how do they get money?
even if we're broke we'll still have time, so we can be slaves for whoever's the most powerful
I mean, have you seen some of the robot demos nowadays? They will 100% sit in their bunkers while their AI terminators get rid of the undesirables. Who needs profits when you control all the resources and have robot slaves? It’s a post scarcity future but only for the families of the elite. Everyone else gets to be dead
I don't think you understand their end game here
What do you think it is?
Assuming it's the evil kill everyone concept: Most people aren't evil for the sake of evil, but their greed has evil affects. I think they're all self interested greedy assholes that don't particularly intend on killing everyone, but they sure will be the cause of a lot of suffering in the wake of their greed.
Like I don't think the CEO of Starbucks or whatever wants everyone to die, but I do think that if possible they'd fire every single last human working for Starbucks in any capacity, other than themselves, in order to make as much money as humanly possible if AI and robotics could do the work needed.
They're all real into Karl Schmitt you are still understanding money as money at some point money isn't money
Searching....
Ahh... Makes sense lol
I didn't see anything when quickly glancing over his wiki about his thoughts on what money is though. He would definitely be a inspiration for the Republicans "unitary executive theory" that they're pushing for sure...
No the money thing isn't him money is just points its tracking who gets to make decisions about what is made the shape of
I'm so done trying g to explain this to libs whose feelings depend strongly on not understanding it
Except you literally didn't try to explain it at all, but that's fine.
Yeah I'm done you didn't even read his main shit
