"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That gets much more difficult when AI is used to empower the police/surveillance state that serves the interest of capitalists.
The type of difficulty you outline is probably at its worst only short-lived and works on the assumption that the interests of a necessarily independent mature AI would align with those of the governing state or capitalists. I think in truth the sort of people that think control and power naturally rests with them are in for a rude awakening. I think the end point of AI's interaction with humanity will be egalitarian, for good or bad.
