Scam Altman like “hold me back bro, hold me back, my AI is so powerful and out of control bro, there’s nothing I can do but make it stronger, omg bro we’re all gonna die!” (meanwhile cartoon bags of money are dropped on him by the Trump admin)

      Walking around pissing and shitting is dangerous to the environment. The point is collective control of production and technology so the profit motive doesn’t get in the way of tackling these issues.

    Just dropping ‘the nerd reich’ came out in August and illuminates the techno fascist motives which has, and has always been, breaking things to prove neoliberalism is a failure in hopes the world breaks into network states that they get to run. Plus a little bit of western Christianity apocalypse cult sprinkled in.

    to quote a great comment by PKMKII:

    I’m really not sure what to make of this sudden wave of AI doomsday talk. It’s hard to tell who’s making a “ChatGPT will go Skynet any day now” argument versus who’s making “defense contractor CEOs will let AI make mission critical decisions unchecked and it’ll AI hallucinate an order to carpet bomb the eastern seaboard” arguments. Which I suspect might be the point, they’re trying to muddy the waters when it comes to AI criticism.

  • While I think that it is true that the “AI is so dangerous, it might go skynet and enslave humanity because any day it can become the omniscient computer-god” is just bullshit marketing hype.

    But for the broader logic, I think we can’t rely on that any more. The last few years have shown that there is no adults in the room. No coalition of the bourgeoisie is going to sit down Trump or any other powerful figure and give them the Network talk when they fuck with the money or do something that isn’t even rational by capitalist logic.

      There was never any adults, adults are a myth just like cultivators.

      But nobody pressures the big wet boy because they don’t care. But they will discipline their own when one of them affects class interests. Remember the apology tour melon-musk had to make when he posted something sligthy critical of Israel?

    AI was always going to be dangerous to us in the hands of billionaires. That’s why we ought to push for collective control.
