I was thinking more along the lines of cultural/opinion suppression or genocide. This is a very similar type of infrastructure.

The way I see it, there are bad people everywhere (even in the government).

And, in a safe country like this one (I am in the United States but most developed countries are pretty safe), if a little petty crime is so scary to them that they need a mass surveillance network to sleep at night... I don't see any reason why the public should have to sacrifice potential freedoms for that weakness.

That sets the stage for overreach. If the data is public, and you are getting stalked, there is nowhere to hide. If corporations/organizations/agencies want to exploit your emotions for ads at any given moment of the day because they can see you and almost everything that happens to you, they can. If a lunatic leader gets elected who wants to kill off a specific group of people (nothing lasts forever, including political stability), its now much easier. With all that in mind, can I ask why?

Working on a bot for chatrooms (irc, discord) that will drop in and roast you (llm powers) in front of the whole server randomly, completely out of the blue.

It can be recorded, but the dots make it so some systems can't recognize it. I perceived "record" in the context of identification/logging.

Wow now I am being stalked by AI algorithms instead of that twitchy psycho from work.

Jokes aside I think this is an issue for the reason of hypocrisy (not that I want to track people) and usage of the technology.

I think this is bs, anyone care to share their thoughts?

Nothing is ever going to be completely equal in society. Innovation is driven by labor being capital (thus profit), or by influence (state backed stuff loses money in exchange for influence). I have a right to make money with resources at my disposal. Taxes are exchanged for the privileges of citizenship, and hopefully, someday, the ability to not get screwed by insurance.

Correct me if I am wrong, I am open to ideas. My knowledge of economics is all from social studies class, my brother almost dying because insurance at first denied to pay for his surgery, and making money from yard work and fixing electronics because I am not old enough to get a legit job. I have never paid taxes, but I somewhat understand disdain towards taxation in an age where the cost of living is as high as it is relative to the amount of money one is capable of making.

chemicals are released by one part of the brain and interpreted by another. the parts of the brain that release those chemicals release it when that part of the brain is stimulated. this kind of mental stimulation can be heavily reliant on quality of life.

From what I can tell, some professionals seem to perceive it as a way to not write the easy stuff and only deal with the harder, more specific stuff that llms don't get (because they are incapable of new ideas). I don't know all the facts, but it seems as though this "home cooked software" boom will be really dull because of llm limitations. It always seems like I am actually learning something when copying code from books, maybe that is one reason why the 80s was interesting in terms of software, but what do I know, I wasn't alive.

I heard that photonic chip stuff might make running this stuff cheaper in data center environments.

Interesting take. Most code I see floating around on the web is either useless or a copy of something else just written in a different way. I don't think this is going to end soon, if anything, "vibe coding" will continue make it worse.

Newer versions or IRC utilize SSL/TLS on port 6697. I would download copies of open source client/server software (certificates can be self-signed). A Raspberry Pi can host a small chat server.

America is rich, but normal citizens aren't making money anymore.

Agreed. I think AI can be a good tool, but not many people are doing very original stuff. Plus, there are many things I would prefer be greeted with, other than by an algorithm in the morning.
