I don't particularly like Gavin and he obviously isn't going to tout our housing prices or homeless problem, but yeah, he's right (and it's true for most blue states).
Brainwashing reds is spooky, and after seeing so many AI images of my hometown on fire, it's only going to get worse.
The worst part of this is that evangelical Christians in particular are just mentally primed to be manipulated by AI.
Mark my words. AI is going to make evangelicals/christian nationalist even weirder and scarier
A demented 'AI' chat bot is essentially the actual perfect vector to spread stochastic terrorism.
We already have multiple stories of people falling deeply in love with AI boyfriends and girlfriends, and then being emotionally distraught when they hit their max continuous msg limit and 'reset' akin to a lover suddenly developing amnesia.
We already have multiple stories of AI chatbots encouraging suicide, encouraging and exaggerating schizophrenic style delusions to the point that people go do something very ill advised.
... someone, or many someones, are going to use these things as a sort of human botnet, essentially as near literal of a 'mind virus' as you can yet actually achieve.
The models these things use are very much human unreadable, even by world leading experts.
IMO, its very likely someone will figure out a more clever or more clandestine way to get an AI chatbot to act like MechaHitler Grok, but only to people who are emotionally unstable / suggestible, and then they can obfuscate or delete all the logs via some kind of interpretation of privacy laws.
...
From 'brainrot' to 'cyberpsycho'.
And you can do it here. Or on any other anonymous social media. 4chan, Reddit, Facebook, whatever. It has been done and will continue to be done.
They're all levers controlling public opinion.
