Silicon Valley wants us to believe ChatGPT and other AI tools will usher in a wonderful tech utopia (unless it destroys the human species).

But those narratives distract us from the truth that generative AI isn’t about making the world a better place. Its goal is to enrich investors and reduce the power of everyone else, and we need to recognize that before it’s too late.

Generative AI will enrich investors and be deployed against everyone else

@parismarx The internet itself is basically an airport that has infinite hari krishnas and no airplanes. Neil Postman was right about all of this stuff 30 years ago. Generative AI is just another advertising campaign trying to make the equivalent of touching a hot stove "innovative" and "sexy". Fuck tech, fuck the "oh but this would be so neat" scientists, fuck the billionaires, all hail King Ludd.
