We're in an age of rising fascism, authoritarianism and inequality.
With regard to "AI", it's a technology that disproportionately favours
established power and threatens democracy.
If "AI" really was a leveller, if it threatened to split monopolies,
reign in government, redistribute wealth and build social capital then
I think you'd hear a good deal more enthusiasm for it.
Right now even the dumbest people can see which way that wind is
blowing.
- RandomLensman 3y agoAI won't do any of that on its own, only people could do that. The bleak outlook is easy to take, but not sure that it will come true.
- nonrandomstring 3y agoIt's the people I worry about. Anyway your few optimistic words cheer me up, so thank you.
- RandomLensman 3y agoThank you - happy to.
