Alan Watts made a few points like this. Very interesting.
The counter argument is always, I have a gun, try me. Then actually have a gun. People like that only survive on other people’s kindness and never learn how worthless they are until they need help. Then they run to the worthless camp and cry.

They money spent on AI doesn’t go into nothing. It’s paid out to construction workers, taxes, employees salaries, etc to make the rollout happen. That’s separate from it being useful and making money itself. The making money part usually comes after, but in this case it’s not making any money. The trillions of dollars spent so far make the economy look good, remember Biden’s 2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill - how big that was. AI is bigger, and moving trillions of dollars around in an economy keeps up the performance that everything is okay. It’s only after datacenters stop being constructed and financed will the costs start to appear. We’re rolling in printed money being spent on products that won’t make any money. The meta is to keep this build-out going for as long as possible to forestall the crash that comes after it. Anything that keeps it in the zeitgeist is good for the status quo. I don’t think the articles about fake math papers, and AI hacking things are a coincidence. So long as we’re still talking about it, the rollout can just continue behind another farce. It sounds like the new farce is AI is such a threat, you’ll need AI to protect you from AI. Trump would probably also make great use of it as an American surveillance tool, he may bail it out all by himself for this purpose. So far as I see it, despite our desires, the people in charge can’t see AI as a failure, because they’re all in bed with it. They’ll try everything in their power to keep it from crashing, some legal, some borderline, some not, and then there’s what trump will do.
Just feels like a sexist hit piece
I swear the shitty AI posters being seen everywhere overnight had an unseen effect too. What were the thinking?

Looks like they turning to banditry to make their money back. AI can’t steal gold I guess
Exemplary example of how tech bros think
The AI posters really make me laugh
Remember when pop ads could open a new window on your browser?
The Road is one of my favorite pieces of writing. It’s art like anything else. The lack of punctuation really made it feel raw and close to home.
Fat = Oil , a modern engine can run on many kinds of oil for an indeterminate amount of time. It’s usually the contaminates that get in the way.

Oracle might be the first. Watch it closely
Idgaf, I have a 970 in a drawer and I’m not afraid to use it.
