Look, folks. I know the hate for AI is on the rise, and I get it. But here’s the thing: you live in a capitalist system. No shot. That you’re “surprised_pikachu.png” about this is naive to say the least.
Now is the time to buy the hardware. Now is the time to make and develop your own models, run them locally. If you don’t, if you use OpenAI API or anything, as per usual, you’re getting played.
Now you’re training their models, and you’re actually paying for it. They should be paying YOU. But no. Like social media and the cloud before it, AI is set to centralise all data collection.
Then you have the self-defeatist pricks out there, who completely ignore AI because “iD iS bAd fOr sOcIeTy”. You wanna know that else is bad for society? Monopoly, duopoly, centralisation of ownership and power.
AI has a fair deal of power already, but will become even more capable. When you’ve allowed venture capitalists and other exploiters to control that technology, you’ve just shot yourself in the foot and are hopping off to a 100 meter dash, thinking you’re gonna somehow win out.
Fact is, you’re just going to become subverted by AI and AGI, simply because you ignore it, not considering the real world power it will have in the future.
Stop being a cynical (no you’re not a realiat), self-defeatist moron. No, you ain’t tough for virtue signaling, you dumb prick. Get up off your high horse and help to decentralise AI technology.
If you don’t, guess what that’s gonna lead to? Oh yay, more centralisation of ownership, more centralisation of power! Such smort! Not at all dumber than a sack of doorknobs.
