I stand by what I said. Your first paragraph said it too: AI is not theft. It just is math. The problem is not the technology: it is the corporate interests. So AI itself is not theft.
Buying all the local land in Mexico that previously were surf spots/fishing villages/local hangouts/town squares, and converting them to monoculture farms for export is a similar idea where corporations leverage government to the detriment of people and environment. But we cant blame the technology, its the rampant corportization.
So we are not that far apart, but the issue is not math. It is how it is used.
Hey I’m not gonna do two comment threads with you when you can’t even stick to the one we have going. If you wanna stick with this one, reply to this comment and let the other one go. I’ll post this preface in my response to your other comment too.
I have held that AI (parenthetical explanation) is theft. You have tried over and over again to put words in my mouth, please stop. I’m trying hard to engage in good faith with you.
In your example the technology of manipulating all levels of government to gain control of massive tracts of land against the wishes of owners, residents and users of the area (and to the detriment of nature) is theft. Not in a legal sense, because the legal system has no interest in upholding the rights of those left out of that process, but in a common use sense.
That technology could be used by individuals and perhaps not be called theft but it’s not. It’s always deployed to the benefit of capital.
Do some reading on the luddites. They’re very interesting!
