“I’m an enormously optimistic person about the world in general, but I think the demoralising effect or the humiliating effect that AI will have on us as a species, it will stop us caring about something like the artistic struggle that we will just accept what is fed to us through these things."
Nick Cave
Nick Cave on AI: “Its intent is to completely sidestep the sort of inconvenience of the artistic struggle, going straight to the commodity, which reflects on us, what we are, as human beings, which is just things that consume stuff.”
@warandpeas The intent is to make it so hard to compete with machines that there is no negotiation room for creative human effort.
The TL;DR of The Dictator's Handbook is that democracy depends on human effort being valuable, and where there are alternarive sources of income to a government, dictatorships arise.
AI is fundamentally a fascist project.
