If we allow the far-right to continue merging political power with AI without guardrails, we will see the rise of a system where freedom is algorithmically rationed.
Hot take: what most people call AI (large language and diffusion models) is, in fact, part of peak capitalism:
relies on ill gotten gains (training data obtained without permission, payment or licensing)
aims to remove human workers from the workforce within a system that (for many) requires them to work because capitalism has removed the bulk of social safety netting
currently has no real route to profit at any reasonable price point
speculative at best
reinforces the concentration of power amongst a few tech firms
will likely also result in regulatory capture with the large firms getting legislation passed that only they can provide “AI” safely
I could go on but hopefully that’s adequate as a PoV.
“AI” is just one of cherries on top of late stage capitalism that embodies the worst of all it.
So I don’t disagree - but felt compelled to share.
