    To maintain capitalism

    …Seriously? This is your defense? Do you for some reason think that if we all used the self-checkout system that capitalism would vanish? Is OP the one at the helm of whether or not capitalism lives or dies? It all rests on his shoulders, not the status quo or the endless pursuit of profit by billionaires and politicians?

    If supermarkets were autonomous, you’d be homeless living in the ally next to them, capitalism alive and well.







  • It runs deeper than that. You can walk back the why’s pretty easy to identify anyone’s motivation, whether it be personal interest, bias, money, glory, racism, misandry, greed, insecurity, etc.

    No one is buying rims for their car for no reason. No one is buying a firearm for no reason. No one donates to a food bank for no reason, that sort of thing, runs for president, that sort of reasoning.

    Ai is backed by the motive of a for-profit company, and unless you’re taking that grain of salt, you’re likely allowing yourself to be manipulated.



  • I’d rather not break down a human being to the same level of social benefit as an appliance.

    Perception is one thing, but the idea that these things can manipulate and misguide people who are fully invested in whatever process they have, irks me.

    I’ve been on nihilism hill. It sucks. I think people, and living things garner more genuine stimulation than a bowl full of matter or however you want to boil us down.

    Oh, people can be bad, too. There’s no doubting that, but people have identifiable motives. What does an Ai “want?”

    whatever it’s told to.
