When a disease threatens a loved one, at least nobody insists it’s an exciting opportunity to disrupt the family. With AI, billionaires are actively funding the risks, lobbying against safeguards, and asking us to applaud their vision. Apparently »move fast and break things« hits differently when the thing is society.

    Lots of cancers can be effectively treated and is an accepted risk that we can only mitigate the danger to continue living.

    AI is 100% controllable and preventable (at the moment anyway) but is being forcibly injected into our lives by those in power in order to gain more power. It sounds like a conspiracy theory but I literally sitting on the shitter typing this out on a device that is probably recording video and audio or at least reading what I'm typing. Right in the center of the keypad is an AI agent icon that I can't disable and really really wants to help me type out this message.
