"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.

Society doesn't benefit. The people in charge of society do benefit.
Someone who has nothing likes change, because change is how you get something. Once you're a billionaire....well, you now have a couple billion incentives to keep everything exactly how it is. How it was when you made it to the top.
So it's a fight between society and the elites. Once the balance of power tips in the favor of the elites, society begins to stagnate. In some cases, because at a certain point getting more billions won't make a dent in your power the same way that removing money from the working class and making them more desperate and dependent does.
