- camillomiller 2mo agoI was on the Internet in 1994. I would really wish you could have felt the electricity and excitement for the possibilities that technology was opening upon us. I was too young to feel politically about it, but what we have eventually learned is that our general naivetè left a wide lane open for profiteers and created the adv-based Godzillas that now control our lives. You seem to suggest we should all make the same collective mistake now, even if this time nobody is really into the technology for the sake of it, but mostly for the buck you can make. Even if it's already clear that gen AI is just another chapter of the billionaires' wealth extraction playbook.
