That's an incredibly reactionary take on technology. Look at how open source is qualitatively different from their proprietary counterparts for a clear example of how the base doesn't just dictate how a tool is used, but how tools are made and how the constraints built into the tool effect how they are used.

I've read enough Marx to know the base dictates the shape of the superstructure which includes technology like LLMs.

What about planting trees to offset carbon? When does an artificial forest start to count as Geo engineering?

As if this technology isn't a product and in service of capitalist relations. Go read Chomsky to see how CNC machines were designed in a way to strengthen capitalist control. gAI is being developed with the same business logic: eliminate jobs at the cost of quality and robustness.

Those who society depends on most are the least free to take time to protest

Some of us are immune. I have no idea why other than I got it from my mother, who has really bad allergies.

Because she wasn't angry or scared. She was chill and was getting out of their way. He got angry the she wasn't given him the satisfaction of acting angry or scared, like he wasn't a threat to be feared. So the fixed that, he showed us who he really is.

Also cures climate change, the global pedophile network, most wars, and that's just the start!

If they are allowed to train on OSS code then the same is true of proprietary code, they use the same legal mechanisms. Get your code off GitHub...

The fact we don't know who did that murder is wild. We deputized a bunch of murderers and we're telling them they have absolute immunity.

I'm not wasting my energy guessing what form their evil plans will take.

I find it helps to ask what is the intention. If it is to just unload negative feelings and there is no effort to build something after dumping those emotions, then the intention is to dissipate energy. IMHO it is better to hold those emotions and unpack them in a space where the energy can be harnessed into something more useful than venting. Even a rage room is healthier and more productive for instance.

Because AI does nonsensical things that would require extra effort for a human to do, in this case the lady has a soccer purse and a soccer ball

You require documentation so you can check if they have a criminal past. If there's no documentation then treat them like someone on parole and give them an ankle monitor. It's not rocket science, we just our politicians' job security depends on not fixing problems.

Also you have absolute immunity just in case there is any friendly fire

Oh, so there's a 40% chance he's a wife beater as well.

The pinkertons have entered the chat

Don't worry, the America's free market provides many paramilitary groups to shutdown those pesky unions and curious journalists. No need for government involvement!

We tried to have navy seals plant listening devices in North Korea ahead of a summit, it did not go well. People say nukes, but I think their security is a whole nother level, like our government rarely knows where those leaders are at a given moment.

And he encouraged others to do so. It is almost like this is a bigger issue for women or girls for some reason. I'm probably sexist for noticing.

Also fun: calling in and you are told your healthcare was canceled, you ask why only to be told that is confidential. Good times.
