Of course Niantic used Pokemon Go for location training on autonomous weapons, but we weren't worried because it was just a fun game that got people outside.

Of course Snapchat and Instagram used filters to train facial recognition, but we weren't worried because it made our selfies look better and that puppy tongue was so cute.

Of course 23&Me was building a blood quantum database, but we weren't worried because we were curious about our background and it was just harmless fun.

We've been training a surveillance apparatus beyond the wildest dreams of any dictator this whole time.

We weren't worried because it's not like a bigoted authoritarian regime would rise and start abusing it, right?

...right?

I put out a video that was critical of AI without AI being mentioned in title, thumbnail, or description. And it was dogpiled with pro-AI comments almost instantly.

This video has almost 2.5X as many comments per view as my most recent "controversial" video, and 4.5 the average.

I don't want to say that AI bots are being used to astrorturf videos after scraping scripts, but I have a hard time believing this is real based on experience.

Student: “So Elon Musk is a trillionaire?”
Me: “Yup.”
Student: “How did he get that much money?”
Me: “Well, he doesn’t really have a trillion dollars cash. He just owns a lot of stock in companies that are valued at a trillion dollars.”
Student: “So those companies make huge profits?”
Me: “Oh gosh no. They all lose billions of dollars a year. All of them. Huge losses.”

The Economist headline: “Gen Z Mysteriously Hates Capitalism and No One Can Figure Out Why.”
