Been noodling a lot about AI stuff lately, and just keep SMH about how willing so many people seem to be to trust this technology.

My problem w/ the idea of AI chat bots being asked to do anything consequential is that we seem to want them to be ever-more human, while at the same time expecting them not to make mistakes.

Probably what we really want is for them to also learn from their mistakes. But that requires admitting when you're wrong -- changing your mind, if you will -- and letting others impacted know that you were in the wrong. On some levels, that seems incompatible with what many expect out of AI today.

i keep bringing this up: capitalism cannot exist without slaves --and that includes the financially indentured. since capitalists main purpose is to maximize wealth extraction from other people's labor, their relationship to workers is parasitic. slavery is the most parasitic form of wealth extraction.

so it's logical that capitalists want robots --and by extension AI-- as proxies for slave labor.

not a coincidence as layoffs were "necessary", capitalists intensified the AI hype

@blogdiva @briankrebs Can it also not exist without consumers though? We say it's eating itself - if it denies already meagre and shrinking incomes, who's going to buy its crap?
