uhmmm and what have y'all been doing to prevent fascism and wealth inequality up until the point -before- AI became a thing?
What did you do about the mandatory government IDs required to access the internet?
What did you do to reduce police brutality and unaccountability in the USA?
AI is the ONE thing that COULD give the common peasantry a chance.
..maybe that's why so many fires are being stoked against it.. *thinking emoji*
The peasantry stands no chance. Unless there is a French Revolution style uprising
Yeah civilians are not going to win with weapons anymore. The imbalance there has been ridiculously disproportionate for decades.
But the common peon can use AI to look up laws and rights and other information and shit to see what we CAN still do.
USE it before they take that away too.
The peasantry is not on the side that enforces the law. AI is. AI is a force multiplier. The more force you have, the more multiples of it you en up with. Flock uses AI to do surveillance at scale. Every cloud service has NSA backdoors.
what then?
We go back to how it was before AI
And everyone will have a better life?
Let's hear your plan
I don't have a better plan for humanity. I only have fear.
No radio, no newspapers, no town criers, no gossip at the alewife's house?
> I don't have a better plan for humanity. I only have fear.
So your best move is to go around spreading that fear without offering ways to fix shit or inspiring anyone else to do so?
My best move is to influence the people I care about to reduce dependence on these things and seek happiness in non-tech things (where tech is defined as those controlled by corporations), from community, live life from first principles. You are forcing me to answer a strange binary ... propose a fix for the world at large, or let me continue with all this shit. The world isn't as black and white.
Anyway, I'm done with this thread.
