This is corporations damaging things because of AI. Corporations will damage things for other reasons too but the only reason they are breaking the internet in this way, at this time, is because of AI.
I think the "AI doesn't kill websites, corporations kill websites" argument is as flawed as the "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument.
- superkuh 1y agoCorrect. It's a good, legitimate argument in both contexts. I use both local AI and local firearms as a human person and I am not doing, and have not done, damage to anyone. The tools aren't the problem. The problem in this case is the near complete protection from legal liability that corporate structures give to the people behaving badly. Like how Coca Cola can get away with killing people (https://prospect.org/features/coca-cola-killings/ https://prospect.org/features/coca-cola-killings/) but a person can't, if you want to keep the firearms analogy going. But it's a bad analogy because the firearms as tool actually at least are involved in the bad (and good) actions. AI itself isn't even involved in the HTTP requests and probably isn't even running on the same premises.
