I've noticed an uptick in the number of pro-AI posts on this platform.

Various posts with titles similar to "When will people stop being afraid of AI" or "Can we please acknowledge AI was very needed for X"

Can't tell if its the propaganda machine invading, or annoying teenage tech-bros who are detached from reality.

AI hs already been demonstrated as a tool that largely benefits fascists and oligarchs.

Lmfao, what? The internet is also a tool that largely benefits fascists and oligarchs. Does that make every user of the internet a fascist, or just stupid?

Of course bad actors are going to take advantage of a tool that is very useful in an absurd amount of contexts...

Yeah that is why the worst fascists and oligarchs block access to the Internet. I think you are being pretty disingenuous here whether you realize it or not. The Internet is like a utility at this point and that is not even remotely comparable with how AI is currently being deployed and used by major corporations.

I am glad to hear you accept bad actors will misuse it. I don't think anyone is actually ready for the level of deception that AI will be able to accomplish once it has access to you and your family/friends information while being used by a nefarious party. For example impersonating loved ones to trick you, epic cat fishing with a persona that has been custom tailored to you, complex financial schemes involving fraud, etc.

Palantir wants not only a total surveillance world, but also needs AI to process and use the information it has on almost anyone to send to jail or murder.
