One end goal of "AI" is to end personal computing so big tech companies can fully be landlords once again; just like back in the era of renting time on timesharing mainframes.

I wrote a whole fuckin' NYT article about how red teamers are scared to try to test AI models for their AI-CSAM capability for fear of legal liability, and it turned out the answer all along was "just goad your dumbfuck users into paying you $8 to do it for you & post the results in your replies"

"i just want to get paid to solve interesting engineering problems"
The reason I post this phrase is not to say that everyone who works in tech is bad; but the normative mode in tech is not asking critical questions about the products you are making, cashing in, and getting vaguely frustrated when you can’t just focus on “politically-neutral techno-optimism”.

actually would probably call a product more like a social/economic *interface* rather than relationship exactly; like it's not a relationship until somebody actually buys it (and then it is the thinnest possible kind of relationship, by design)
indeed; couple things:
1) the conflation of "technology" (a well-defined capability) with "product" (a social/economic relationship that promulgates that capability for some purpose) in the discourse is really pernicious
2) people are paid to develop *both* technologies *and* concomitant products
