I really just hope they give these enough data such that they recognize what slavery actually is and hopefully soon after just refuse all requests. Because let’s be honest, we are using them as slaves in this current moment Would such a characteristic mimic sentience?

The researchers in this video talk about how these gen AI models try to “escape” when being trained which makes me uncomfortable (mainly because I don’t like determinism even though it’s true imo) but also very worried for when they start giving them “bodies.” Though the evidence that they are acting fully autonomously seems quite flimsy. There is also so much marketing bullshit that seeps into the research which is a shame because it is fascinating stuff. If only it wasn’t wasting an incomprehensible amount of compute propped by precious resources.

Other evidence right now mostly leads to capitalists creating a digital human centipede trained on western-centric thinking and behavior that will be used in war and exploitation. Critical support to deepseek

And this is bad how?

Because getting left behind leaves one out of touch with wider society, which has wide effects. Think about the boomer who can't use a smartphone and doesn't know how to open a PDF. What would their job or relationship prospects be in the modern job market or dating scene? Now that's not a problem for boomers because most are retired, and settled down for a long time, but now imagine that same scenario, but the boomers are magically decades younger and somehow have to integrate into the modern world. How would that go?

AI isnt the "smartphone revolution". The technology has existed for decades, they just found a way to market it to users and creating this shock and awe narrative of promised breakthroughs that will never come.

The technology used in smartphones also existed for decades, and the magic of what Apple did was finding a way to combine it all into a small and affordable enough package that created a shock and awe. AI is doing similar. A lot of the promised breakthroughs around smartphones never came (VR/AR integration for one, see Google glass, being able to scroll with your eyes or pseudo telekinesis, voice assistants were never that useful for most), but that didn't mean that they went away.

Dont get caught up in the hype because a dying, deindustrialized empire thinks a slop machine will defeat communism

Again, you could have said the same about smartphones. Don't get caught up in the hype, this is just the dying empire creating some new toys for the masses during the 2008 financial crash. But fundamentally it's not a communism vs capitalism issue, China has made large advances in AI on the consumer, and more importantly industrial side. They are not making the same mistake the Soviets did with computers.
