My brother is going to have to go to New York for god knows how long because that's the only option he has for housing at the moment besides being homeless. He's the only one I had around here. I can't be alone. Mental health wise and disability wise because I use a wheelchair. I'm going to be alone
Would there be anyone in the DC area around to help me if things get worse?
Another day another life changing event that's gonna fuck everything up and at this point I can't even be bothered to start freaking out anymore. I'm not expecting to survive at this point, I'm just in for the fucking ride dude

this is just a headline from a sci-fi novel with a cartoonish main villain
China makes 70% of the world’s drones. Blake Resnick wants to change that. Backed by Sam Altman and Peter Thiel, the Brinc founder is on his way to making his quadcopters the top choice for America’s cops—if only he can get the federal government to ban his primary competitor.

The human/AI interactional data being gathered from these models is FUCKING IMMENSE.
Power users spend most of their screen time with their models.
Companies have never had access to over 100 MILLION people all trying to build shitty meeting notes and grocery lists.

The value of AI is the way it generates novel data.
NOT the data you're thinking of either. Feeding the slop it pumps out back to itself is literally poison, it's a big problem. Synthentic data is shit to all the good ol' human stuff of early internet days.
I'm talking about how people USE it.

I don’t really understand how people don’t grasp that capitalist competition leads to monopoly. Something wins a competition. It is a pretty obvious thing.

Larger businesses with 50 or more employees reported a net gain of 90,000 workers.
But companies with fewer than 50 saw a decline of about 120,000.

Social media giants like Tiktok or Facebook hold such much social capital because a MASSIVE AMOUNT of the ENTIRETY OF HUMANITY is on these websites. This is called the "network effect" and it's almost entirely why these sites are valuable AT ALL.

Saying "i have nothing to hide" in today's cyber age sounds a lot more like "I'm not even trying to hide or secure anything, please target me. I don't even understand how vulnerable I am. PLEASE take my data??"

Overworked blue collar parents don't have the time and energy to be constantly policing every single second of content their children watches. (I'd argue this is on purpose)
So when we ask ourselves "how does x movie even get made"??
Consumerism. Uncritical consumerism driven by ipad babies.

Doesn't make it right, but we're now starting see things through their eyes.
And I hope you're also seeing why this discourse eventually ends up REQUIRING discussion about SYSTEMIC AND SYSTEMATIC OPPRESSION
Ipad babies & AI are the same because the problem is much deeper than the individual

There's obviously other nuance to add when it comes to living ethically under a capitalist system. Not everyone has time and resources to thoroughly research every purchase.
But we have to be real with ourselves and admit the cost of that is "ipad babies".
Let me explain.

Let me explain.
for every 1 person actually researching something before they buy it there's like 1,000 more people who will buy something on an impulse JUST because they CAN and WANT TO (and amazon told them it's 'best-selling' or some shit)
That is AI.
You can hate AI and do so rationally and w/ evidence, but

It's not doomerism to say AI is inevitable when you understand the power of a "Pandora's box". You can tell people it's inevitable and that AI is here to stay and they'll say it sounds like you're PRO-AI
This video explains why that is simply NOT the case.
