Fixing these laws needs to be priority in 2029

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Without knowing any of these details, I’m surprised it’s taken this long for me to hear about the likelihood of a Bailout.
So many are waiting for the Bible to pop or whatever. But let’s be serious, there’ll be a bailout of some kind. If the tech companies haven’t already made their political moves, there’s surely enough political interest in keeping this tech going if not taking control of it.
I can’t see how the power players won’t buy into the overarching sales pitch that this is what the future is and that one is either apart of it or not. Then there’s the military angle and staying competitive with China etc.
if AI needs a bailout its because there is no great use case for it.
if there is a bailout, there is no valid justification, it is just straightup kleptocratic wealth transfer.
Yea. That’s AI. And frankly the Internet since it became Facebook and Google.
And the bailout will just be a continuation of the process. Which is why talking about it matters, I think.
We may be on the precipice of a massive shift in human social organisation. It won’t be the advance of AI as intelligent tech. It will be the gaining of control of information and how society at large relates to the information machine. The Internet was the start, by promising mass decentralisation it merely facilitated mass centralisation.
AI will do the same. But not at the distribution layer. At the content and ownership layer.
Owning a piece of the new information age sounds like a use case to me.
I hate to be a harsh asshole about this … but having no valid justification doesn’t really mean anything anymore. That’s where our world is or is quickly going. And highlighting such a “truth” on the internet isn’t some magic spell like we believed it was in a fleeting moment of Twitter empowerment. Highlighting and knowing such a truth is just the beginning. It’s the minimum. And the powers that be are already playing many moves ahead.
