"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.

I completely agree, i don't need to prove you wrong. The worse part is this process of shaping corporations into feudal lordships will end up turning the violence of the state inwards first, to manufacture the subjectivity of a modern serf, and then they will start to build violent crusades against each other. Again AI is a perfect tool for manufacture of subjectivity-> to Ideology -> to consent. It is also a complementary tool to automate the violence of the Feudal houses. What I'm not sure if it's that sustainable. We are already seeing the oldest feudal lords crumbling under their weight: Samsung for example and Korea. The USA is showing signs of accelerating towards a clash of inner contradictions. In the way it needs to wield it's imperial power to function and how it's overplaying it's hand on it's own people. Again call me an optimist, but i really don't think AI will reach AGI or become a super mechanism of control. I feel it's turning out more to be a wrench thrown into the system and it's outcome could either empower the late stage capitalists or obliterate the current cadre.
As for who owns me; Work wise, probably China! Because i work in renewable energies and they are the only ones heavily investing in that!
