Daniel AppelquistIf AI is so great, why does it always seem to be on the side of fascism? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yj97yd6v5o
David Soria Parra@torgo because you are cherry picking. There is plenty of positive impact like https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-04176-7 and lots of others.

An LLM chatbot to facilitate primary-to-specialist care transitions: a randomized controlled trial - Nature Medicine

ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIESof course you can use AI for good. but AI as it is is VC funded and plutocrat controlled

until that changes, like crypto, AI is shit

Is there enough will and talent to pull our information, social media, and even these away from corporate silos?
