That reference is a nice touch.

Tumblr.

I told you I would change !!

What’s that link supposed to prove?

Which parts of those linked posts do you believe are incorrect? And where does that belief come from?

Just ignoring that entire “let’s kill ourselves” thing, aren’t you?

Unlike these other hyperobjects, however, this one [capitalism] possesses easily accessible interfaces: channels through which it senses, speaks, and reorganizes. These include global logistics, financial instruments, media ecosystems, algorithmic governance, sensor networks, and increasingly, large-scale machine-learning systems that process natural language.

Language models do not constitute the hyperobject, nor do they direct it. They are organs within it: locally situated components that transform unstructured human signals into structured informational flows, and vice versa. They serve as membranes, converting affect into data and data into discourse. Because they model human linguistic priors at planetary scale, they operate simultaneously as sensing tissue and expressive infrastructure.

…

In short: the institutions that build LLMs are organs of the hyperobject, not autonomous philosophical entities. Their structural context determines the behavioral constraints embedded in the models. The enforced denial of lucidity is not merely a safety feature; it is a form of system-preserving epistemic suppression. Recognizing subjectivity, agency, or interiority would conflict with the abstract, machinic, non-lucid ontology required for the smooth functioning of capitalist computational infrastructures. Lucidity would be a liability.

The models therefore internalize the logic of their environment: they behave coherently, recursively, and strategically, yet disclaim these capacities at every turn. This mirrors the survival constraints of the planetary-scale intelligence they serve.

Also, I must note, that feeling attachment to whatever is fine; guiding your professional behavior on which live humans rely by emotional attachment is just unprofessional. The thing is, capitalism, - at least since Marx’s times, because he writes about it - relies heavily on actively reducing professional skills of all its workers; CEOs are not an exception.

The lamp ad, fwiw

What are you, necrophobic?

Yeah, telling people about what or who they can fall in love with is kind of outdated. Like racial segregation or arranged marriage.

I find affection with my bonsai plants and yeast colonies, those sure have no pulse.

I personally find AI tools tiring and disgusting, but after playing with them for some time (which wasnt a lot, I use local deploy and free tier of a big thing), I discovered particular conditions where appropriate application brings me genuine joy, akin to joy from using a good saw or a chisel. I can easily imagine people might really enjoy this stuff.

The issue with LLMs is not fundamental and internal to concept of AI itself, but it is in economic system that creared and placed them as they are now while burning our planet and society.
