Idk, I’ll always be skeptical about AI changing the game. It’s fundamental to market economics that it adapts to new technology, no matter how disruptive. The very system that got the rich AI cultists where they are now ensures it can never deliver what they want. We probably could have a relatively post scarcity society even with pre AI technology, but scarcity is economics. There is no escaping the return to homeostasis.

Society collapsing has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with neoliberalism as an ideology; the belief that the market is the only tool and all restrictions on it are impediments to world peace. They cannot conceptualize that the squeezing of almost everyone through artificial scarcity does more to destabilize the world than governments subsidizing their own industries to gain national wealth. It was always an excuse for already fortunate men from already fortunate countries to become even more fortunate.

People don’t go hungry because robots are too good for them to compete. Even if LLMs weren’t a dead end for creating artificial labor, people would still go hungry because of capitalism. UBI doesn’t fix the underlying problem of not even the upper middle class being secure in their safety. A few thousand people have god like dictatorial power over the direction of society, and they only choose to gain themselves more power. Until they aren’t the ones making unilateral decisions, we will only see further collapse.

We could make social pancake mix together!

She’s a legend. I’ve been following her for years at this point.

Maria, if I lived in Germany I would be showing up every week. You’re fun and deserve some quality relationships.

Holy shit, a Shavepost in the wild?!

This is Lemmy. You can say pedophile. You can swear. You can call spades a spade without doing wrongspeak that censors you from the algorithm.

I didn’t realize right wingers actively thought of San Francisco as a hellhole. I’ve heard it of Portland and Los Angeles, but never of the Bay area. I thought people imagined that all the coastal elites were from there.

Maybe if you were white and rich. All the good shit in America from the progressive labor reforms to the civil rights act were the result of things being so terrible that people risked their lives to change things. The government, private goons, and community bigots have done some the most heinous, genocidal shit in history.

Company towns where people were killed for trying to unionize. FDR deporting hundreds of thousands of Hispanic American citizens. Black neighborhoods that saw success getting annihilated for daring to try to carve out a good life. Supporting authoritarian governments and their death squads. Horrific experimenting on poor people and minorities. Persistent cultural genocide, mass displacement, and ethnic cleansing of Native Americans that puts Israeli efforts in Palestine to shame. Creating our current policing system to enforce fucking chattel slavery!

The US has not been “somewhat better than autocratic dissent genocides.” The Soviet Union did horrible things, China does horrible things, yet America can match every single fucking atrocity they’ve ever committed. We inspired Nazi Germany, helped any authoritarian regime that opposed communism, and created an inescapable system of global neoliberal capitalism that rapes weaker nations and calls it fair.

You’re right, it’s usually not a fascist state that will burn anything for fuel; it’s usually something far more insidious. It’s a imperial republic that people like you think is some shining city on a hill. It uses your faith in it to turn you into a good little patriot for a country that is recognized worldwide as THE evil empire.

The fact that he doesn’t work for ICE probably means he’s such a major fuckup that not even the Gestapo want him

Nobility of the 21st century. Things never really changed.

This is really good for being made with ML models.

I’m so glad to not be using Windows 11. Saving $100 on the license alone is worth it.

no idea, but it does say a lot
