Avery, you’re evidencing exactly the attitudes and behaviour that Larry is calling out. Take a long hard look at yourself! -

It is not kind. You may well be insulted by it. If you are... then you really should question yourself.

OK, fair point. But AI is the problems of capitalism writ large, and any engineer/programmer buying into the hype is making things worse. That’s the message I took from the OP, and that is a message worth amplifying. -

If we want to talk about actual problems with AI let's talk about things like ShellGPT and flock cameras, and ICE's AI facial recognition tool. Not people getting their work done faster so they can enjoy life.

@Crell I hope that we forgive each other at some point, because this is the only way we can hope to make society again. Dividing us so we have to be selfish is part of the issue/plan. Selfishness itself is a feature, not an accident.

@jdbar Forgiveness only comes after accountability.
And it is accountability that is sorely lacking in modern America.

A closely related post that describes the dynamic im talking about more succinctly.
Theyre talking privacy, I'm talking AI, but the same logic applies to both and many more topics.

@Crell I am thinking that "vote with your dollars" is not a lie, if we get that some people have much much more money than others. We have to join the club to influence the elections. Just a few billions ahead !

@jdbar Even dollars have to content with the network effect.
But yes, "one dollar one vote" is what the Supreme Court has given us, and it's a recipe for oligarchy.
