AI systems exist to reinforce and strengthen existing structures of power and violence. They are the wet dream of capitalists and fascists. Enormous physical infrastructure designed to convert capital into power, and back into capital. Those who control the infrastructure, control the people subject to it.

While it sways away from the initial thesis of how the use of LLMs could be detrimental to our very being and expression of identity - at least that’s how I interpret what they’re saying - it ends in a fantastic claim on how AI is a tool of the ruling class. Worth a read!

    Instead I say we let ai play with the unreal government pyramid scheme that is money while we utilize the money in the same way as we already do, essentially let the AIs do the boring stuff.

    And then much later on when there is risk of not finding a niche that needs individuals we then work on creating automated labor so that we need not worry about responsibility as individuals while the AIs play present day jobs in the same we we presently do.

    At this point income and responsibility are solved issues all while not even remotely changing how society works other than what we as people do day to day so that way we may finally consider living life as we please instead of being beholden to fixing problems of the world.
