It goes beyond lying. It's kind of war, and they're the aggressor. Everyone else needs to start treating them that way, or you're going to regret it once you realize what's actually happening.

  There's plenty of discussion of this if you look for it. Some examples: "Sanders Releases Report on Big Tech Oligarchs’ War Against Workers, Warns AI Could Eliminate Nearly 100 Million U.S. Jobs": https://www.help.senate.gov/dem/newsroom/press/news-sanders-releases-report-on-big-tech-oligarchs-war-against-workers-warns-ai-could-eliminate-nearly-100-million-us-jobs https://www.help.senate.gov/dem/newsroom/press/news-sanders-... "How the American Oligarchy Went Hyperscale": https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/american-oligarchy-hyperscale-data-centers-meta-openai-oracle-x-musk-altman-zuckerberg-bezos/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/american-oligar... "AI Is a Threat to Everything the American People Hold Dear": https://www.sanders.senate.gov/op-eds/ai-is-a-threat-to-everything-the-american-people-hold-dear/ https://www.sanders.senate.gov/op-eds/ai-is-a-threat-to-ever... To be clear: I'm an extremely experienced software developer. I use AI daily. I'm currently working on training a DNN that's used in production by enterprise companies around the globe. But there's absolutely no doubt that AI is being deployed as a weapon by the capitalist class against everyone else, and that's only going to amplify and get much, much worse. The issue is not necessarily the technology itself. The issue is how society permits it to be used.

    What does this have to do with the video?
    - antonvs 5mo ago
      From 3m50s in the video: > I think they are lying, and I think they are hurting people. I think they're genuinely hurting people. That hurting of people is part of the war that I mentioned. The rest of the video focuses quite heavily on this general issue. It gives specific examples, but they're representative.

        Seems hyperbolic to me. The video is about them "hurting people" by convincing foolish CEOs to replace their workers with AI (and the CEOs and investors are also being hurt by this). You're talking about some scenario where faking AI competence makes AI somehow actually competent.
