i mean every booster for AI tech is basically a weird asshole.
if they were smarter and got more personable people to advocate for the tech maybe regular people would hate it less
but instead it's either smarmy techbro psychos or cringe right wing assholes using it exclusively.
Yeah, like in thr absence of capitlaism ai could be treat. But I stead being teatoilled about it people keep trying to use it to neoliberal harder so that does suck.
The famous people only shill for ai stuff right before the bubble bursts.
It could be a useful tool, especially on a personal computer level, with relatively little harm.
It's unfortunately a tool that's boosted by tools and its environmental impact and electrical demands made drastically higher by the biggest tools around.
yeah the actual tech that's actually squeezed out of it, basically the ability to exmaine large datasets and gather meaning from them, might actually be revolutionary
the enviro impact does negate it. unless China has a bunch of excess generation capacity from their future thorium cycle reactors and just want to use it for actual noble purposes.
i just don't trust the west to do it
That's my issue. Right now in Burgerland, it's a hype wave, a bazinga gold rush, and a lot additional pollution and wasted water and carbon dumping is happening to chase it. The inevitabilists that say "it will happen anyway" can fuck off. That's a defeatist attitude that would have solved absolutely nothing in history if applied anywhere else.
