Worth repeating: AI platforms built by greedy tech CEOs aren't "making mistakes" they are working as designed

Part of that design is undermining experts, removing human connection & trust, and hiding decision making

Those are the things that make our communities work, and the more we lose them, the worse things get

@joecardillo experts have a habit of saying no. And then getting their bosses in trouble when the boss does it anyway.
@joecardillo Excellent idea, Satan, there....let's privatize that community connection & trust! Then we can rent it back to you....and that air you're breathing there. I think I should own that! Yrs, Petey Thiel, psychobabbler.
@joecardillo if I could boost something twice…

@joecardillo Call it late stage capitalism, #enshittification, or whatever you want, but tech companies have realised that they don't need to keep consumers happy in order to succeed.

We have been the product for a long time now. The real customers are other corporations. They sell each other our personal information and the tools to control us

@joecardillo well not especially designed. It's just that they are "good enough". Instead of not producing bullshit and being actually helpful, we get the most lowest quality possible. The lowest quality barely enough to be a selling argument. It is for sure possible to make a better thing, but that costs more money, so it's not done. It's pure capitalism. And I hope this shit implodes in their face.
@assimilateborg @joecardillo I have the sense the problem is that when it implodes (and it inevitably will), it will be in all our faces.

@joecardillo

Implied but also worth repeating is this removes accountability when bad or unpopular decisions are made.

A.I. is a tireless and uncomplaining scapegoat when shit hits the fan, and no body can tell you how the decisions were made, who made them, or why

@joecardillo And nothing good will come from AI.
