    It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

        Not just "AI". I can't believe people rush to subscribe to taps where techbros siphon our money.

        You want to call people? There's a subscription for that. You want to listen to music/watch movies? There's a subscription for that. You want to have a door camera? There's a subscription for that. You want to make dinner? There's a subscription for that. You want to edit documents? There's a subscription for that. You want to learn a language? There's a subscription for that.

          Clarifications to billionaires:
          Water and electricity are not services, they are HUMAN RIGHTS. Without those two things, people go back to middle age and/or die.

          The so-called "artificial intelligence" has NOTHING intelligent about it. Comparing a computer program to the human brain is a marketing and propaganda operation.

          Rich people think Human Rights are just "services" they can cut off if you dont pay.
          Sadly, they convinced many people that that is true.

              @tante I have a dream, AI can help us and can be helpful tool, but needs to be in hands of people not corporations. imagine something like distributed LLM running some federated way, allowing parcitipants to prompt for exchange of some small portion of compute time of their machine. Trained the same way. Project seti[at]home can be inspiration. And yep I know I have declare now myself as enemy of state and fediverse, but I truly believe this shall be way. We can eradicate AI datacenters, distribute energy usage cross world, save water and destroy that technobross seizure of our future.

                @tante it's already annoying my dad is hyping chatgpt like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

                Like he's raving about cognitive decline. That's not what I want for myself.

                    @tante how many tokens do you really need when they are practically free and you have some time to kill? they are already losing billions, the toxic combo of bill, sam, and elon has effectively killed any hopes of acting in good will or good faith with these guys. There are alternatives, i think it is going to take small biz a few years but viable alternatives will crop up that will alter opportunity cost, cut out the middleman #frank is dead #fair use LV

                        @tante They're already halfway done in some places. Some folks can't read, write, or do basic arithmetics without tool support anymore. Let alone summarize, argue, or conceptualize.

                          People don't recognize how insidious things like those Roku "chill coffee shop" muzak channels are, as part of the whole deal to make minds mushy.

                          People have absolutely been enshittified along the way. The technology is proving that.

                              @tante Yup. The whole skit seems to be attempting to bring the expected level of human ability DOWN, so they could make money.

                              Fucking crazy… 🤦‍♂️

                                  @ftranschel @lritter @tante despair aside (despair may be a luxury when compared to survival), I think you hit it on the head. Deskill to rent back skill but no skill means no money to buy back.

                                  It’s like selling a home while you’re sleeping in it.

                                    The love of money is the root of insanity.

                                    This is exhibit A.

                                      @Petesmom @tante Your island idea is too generous. I'd be happy to see someone drag them out of their mansions and beat them to death in the streets.

                                        The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

                                        It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

                                          @tante Rick Beato - of all people - made me much more optimistic this morning when he pointed out that far from "owning" the LLMs, all the tech bro companies will go the way of the big expensive music studios when everyone ends up doing it themselves on their own laptop. Excellent point well made, I think...
