I’ve decided it’s past time I start describing “artificial intelligence” as a failed technology, and I’d like to invite you to join me.

“Artificial intelligence” is a failed technology. It’s time we described it that way.

@beep AI as a technology has been made political and increasingly authoritarian.

It’s not about technology, it’s about demanding unquestioning loyalty to Silicon Valley.

This is a political project, a conservative political project, to protect the position of power of a very small group of people.

@gimulnautti @beep I have the paranoid notion that with someone like Musk in front of this shit that they're trying to get us to talk to AI prompts so they can analyze our psychology, get a statistical analysis of our word use, train an LLM and then ask it if it's self-aware and me and when it says yes they believe it and figure I'm backed up and don't need my biosuit anymore.
