The more I roll it around in my mouth, the more certain I am that the "AI" mania *perfectly* encapsulates neoliberalism in its entirety.
- doesn't work and never has
- steals everything around it
- produces nothing of value
- destroys all things with actual value
- lies
- creates the illusion of efficiency while vastly increasing both monetary and social costs
- is supported by militant zealots with tiny minds and hearts
- enriches a tiny group of individuals at the cost of destroying Earth
On top of that:
- viciously punishes people who refuse to pretend they're eager to participate
- creates incredible suffering wherever it goes
- cannot exist without exploiting the global South
- is subsidized by governments at the expense of social programs
- makes up most of the "data" it presents to the public
@AeonCypher It's both.
But you gave me a good laugh with your avatar.
@DerGiga @johnzajac Explain to me how running "AI" on my laptop enriches anyone or destroys the earth?
Edit: LMAO, you stole your profile image.
@DerGiga @johnzajac Naturally.
It's incredibly easy to complain about things you don't understand.
It's much much harder to put in the work understand the thing and resist it.
