People by and large want people to solve actual fucking problems, have a safe society where people can access food & shelter and not have to live outside, where kids can get an education and pursue their dreams, not have more ads and attention stealing bullshit.
We could have solved so many problems in people's day to day using the money invested into this shit, improved standards of living considerably. Instead we're building more data centers to finish broiling the earth so that share prices go up a quarter of a point.

- taurath 1y agoIs it just a thing with AI that everyone has decided that morality, empathy, compassion and human dignity mean little? I can't live with myself if I lived a life of such shameless moral depravity - I don't think societies in general can even function in such a state. The means to get power corrupts any who would wield it. Its is all one big great race to the top of an anthill? Wouldn't it be nicer if you could live in a world where your neighbor was doing well also? Zero sum mindsets lead to zero sum worlds.
