Its geuinely disgusting, seeing the joy on their faces, and then the lined up servants, other human beings, made to stand and dress and act in a certain way, for the whims of the wealthy.

    Its a problem where the 'original' goal is never really kept in mind with how things are available in the future. I'm sure when I looked at something "I'm going to use it for x" and then five years later "I'm going to use this for y".

    This drift exists especially in technology.

    There's no point having a discussions with people like me that are intractable when it comes to the technology and are acutely aware of the USA capitalist ruling class and the atrocities they commit and enable, with people that are unable and unwilling to understand what a model is, and are approaching computer science like a luddite.

    The USA capitalists are having you lick their boots when you think that "AI" = ChatGPT. You're not 'chatting' with anything. You, me, and many others, are constantly falling for their marketing shit all the time. Don't bite!

    If you can differentiate between a stack of PS3s that made a 'super computer' to try to predict what the weather will be tomorrow and the USA building a datacenter, poisoning your water, denying you electricity, stealing your capital, surveiling you, and influencing your decisions, then we can definitely sit together and use our brains to dismantle the infrastructure of oppression. Your enemy is not 'conversation simulators', its capitalism.

    I mean this is where we have to disagree, I think there are loads of benefits from the technologies. But capitalism is the wrong motivator... "How can we make money out of this?" don't make me puke. It should be free for all, to cure cancer, to decipher ancient languages, to model the climate etc.
