Here's the thing... AI is just a convenient layer of obfuscation. Without the layer, those in power would just do it anyway and still rarely be held accountable.

While I have mostly negative feelings toward AI and would rather remove any potential layers of obfuscation so that the public can better see the reality firnwhat it is, the powerful need to be held to account directly. Targeting AI for this kind of thing is just a distraction Putting the focus on AI alone is what they'd want.

    I think their point is that they were robbing our bank accounts before the robots. Now they're just blaming the robot for it.

    And my point is that their point is to minimize the bank robbing robots.

    Both things are a problem, the people behind the robots infinitely moreso, but to not minimize the tools of the oppressors. Like blaming the US Gov and ignoring the nuclear bomb.

    My inspiration was actually more that the powerful can get away with fucking over the population and blaming it on agents. If the average person used agents to rob a wealthy person, the agents excuse will be worth fuck all.

    Powerful can also get away with fucking over the population using said agents* while we all not looking at them doing so.

    *agent is a python script that runs in a loop and asks an llm the endless questions about fucking over the population

    It's true for every type of societal issue. Let's just assume that for every problem, number one thing that we need to do is eat the rich hold the powerful accountable. But while we figure out how to do that, let's at least not ignore the actual smaller problem that we're dealing with.
    A house is on fire because of poor regulations and corruption, poor regulations and corruption needs to be dealt with for sure. A house is on fire though, so it's also important to deal with.

    I agree and also disagree. I'm not saying ignore it. Just be aware that there will almost always be an array distracting "smaller problems". I just advise we not spend so much time focusing on smaller problems that the root cause is ignored. Just don't let them be chaff.

    The main thing is that they want you to keep talking about it. Even if it's negative press, it's still press. Just whatever you do...don't quit talking about it! That's why I have trouble even making a comment like this. I feel like I'm still feeding into it somehow.
