@mcc@mastodon.social @vathpela@infosec.exchange @jcoglan@mastodon.social the only flaw in this plan is that this technology would involve a well-compensated labor force whose psychological well-being was respected and cultivated, and the real purpose of “AI” is to destroy that. if they could destroy the power of labor without all the “boilerplate” stuff they’d be doing that instead

@mcc@mastodon.social @vathpela@infosec.exchange @jcoglan@mastodon.social not the actual technologists building “AI” and its infrastructure, most of whom fervently believe in the utility of this crap and would argue endlessly that it actually does something else. but they would never have received a trillion dollars to build useless monuments to linear algebra, and thus, they would be harmless

@glyph@mastodon.social @vathpela@infosec.exchange @jcoglan@mastodon.social perhaps at some point in the future, corporations will conclude that their purpose is to perform activities that result in a revenue higher than their expenses, rather than treating psychological terrorism against working classes as their primary objective. unlikely, i know. but perhaps it is possible.
