Imagine how much the world could achieve if we actually collaborated, instead the Empire will be using this technology to try to figure out how to to destroy human lives better.
Outside of some few research centers that develop patented treatments, inaccessible to most of the population. The Empire has so much resources, but it’s completely unsynchronized and there’s nothing that we can do. At best I’m gonna be running a tiny org with a clique of friends, who probably won’t let me onboard 2/3’s of the people I’d like to work with, due to personal grievances.
Here AI is used to generate poetry and to replace teachers at schools and we’re gonna be engaged in fierce ideological warfare over what is to be done with AI, but we definitely won’t organize or develop productive forces.
there’s an underlying material reason why AI is being developed in different ways in the US and in China https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-automation-of-the-hollow
Clear, concise, to the point! Going to spam this again, because of course the Dialectal Dispatches article reminded me of it. https://archive.org/details/wastemakers00pack
Oh yeah that’s a great read. Vance Packard really hit on something visceral because he wasn’t just complaining about junk but was instead dissecting the intentional psychological and economic engineering of a throwaway culture. Framing the whole post-war American economy as a sort of runaway train where the only way to keep the wheels turning is to force people to buy things they don’t need with money they don’t have is a really valuable insight in my opinion.
Thanks that’s actually a great article. Appreciate you sharing it.
Thanks
but twitter anarchist told me ai = hitler
has everyone seen that poster
AI needs to be used more for this type of stuff, instead of falsifying reality through realistic videos and pictures.
Most people don’t use them for framing, just like most people don’t use knives for murder.
B-But the reactionaries told me AI was bad for (capitalist) society, so I should uncritically despise it :(
But at what cost? Pharma line must go up!
but at what COSTTTTTTTTTTTTT
my partner does this stuff for a living. she said this is probably going to put her out of a job
This is a good use of AI right here.
