AI is just an example of technology that empowers, pick any technology or any scientific discovery from TNT to CRISPR. The point is that new powers are being created and handed to psychopaths who are hurting all of us. At what point are these people held to account for handing billionaires the tools they use to herd us off a cliff?
Even if you get them they still have to be fair elections where everyone who can vote, can vote.
I would find it validating and encouraging since that’s what I already believe.
Which you can apply to Trumps entire worldview. He doesn’t respect anything so he doesn’t respect the sovereignty of anything. He raped children and abducted a head of state, kills Americans, ignored the entire notion of law or rights and is actively trying to remove democracy as the means by which authority is granted. He respects nothing but his own desires, which he is a slave to.
Politics and messaging. He’s isn’t an idiot he’s not going to express his counter moves publicly.
I expect that they won’t, given that they aren’t. You need to ensure we do not need their respect to ensure our sovereignty. Nuclear weapons now.
It is required or we encourage more treason.
It doesn’t matter who started it, it matters who supports it.
They are an attack vector for US desire to divide to conquer Canada. Their separatism culture is a vulnerability for the nation, as is its multicultural mosaic that is only as strong as the connection between groups and those are not really that strong.
If Prometheus saw a dude twitching his fingers, eager to burn shit down and then handed him fire, he damn well should be blamed.
Their complicity is more impactful. They Empower those businesses with new technological capabilities that the public, the state and the population in general is in no position to effectively keep up with and defense against. Employees also have their own responsibility, but the empowerment engineers and scientists are giving businesses by building fucking AI is very different than what an office bureaucrat contributes by managing the logistics. Logistics can only manage what exists, science and engineers are bringing new shit into existence and handing it to psychopaths. I rarely ever hear anything about the responsibility scientists and engineers have by empowering these corporations and other ambitious people even though their contributions make it possible at all.
All these LLM engineers building the spy tools and data collection and analysis systems that will be used on us need to be brought into the conversation when we discuss whose responsible for MAGA and Trump and the technofascism that were watching be built right now. They can’t do it without those inventions and discoveries, so maybe stop fucking helping them? We’re responsible for what we do, not what others are doing. That goes for scientists and engineers as much as anyone else, yet are rarely mentioned.
They should consider to not build at all if it’s clear the result is business returning us to slavery.
But why? And why now? Why do they even care about vpns and ages l *all of a sudden *? What are they up to!?
Not sure you can from the fed reserve but, you can take physical ownership of gold you buy from the mint, private owners etc.
Given the divisions in Canada like Quebec, western alienation and Alberta being conservative central, yeah, they might be able to.
The government is run by incompetent but power hungry cretins who have been convinced by the techbros that LLMs can finally make them competent at being in charge, making them grossly over confident in their capabilities.
Edit. Cretins
Also, the salesman and marketing bullshit around LLMs has fooled those people into believing that LLMs are actually capable of letting them run things competently.
They are thieves, criminals, slavers and psychopaths. They will kill all of us for more power and for some fucked up reason we still let billionaires exist.
It doesn’t matter how noble your intent when inventing or researching, once business has control of something, it is used to gain power and control over people. All you scientists and engineers and researchers need to starts accepting your own contribution to this monster, held accountable for the technologies you help businesses unleash on all of us.
I have good shits, great shits. Might even be the greatest shits. The doctors once told me my shits were perfect…still are. The radical left wishes they could shit like me, it’s why they’re so mad, they’re constipated.
It’s likely impossible to pick a link in this web of causation and blame it. Not a single part is impactful enough to change things, which is why most of us do nothing, feeling impotent in our tiny place in things. But some people have a much greater impact than most of us, and scientists and engineers are some of those people. Some of those people can prevent futures simply by not inventing it.
It would be nice to be able to unlock the truths of existence without worry someone would use it to cause harm, or chase power, but that doesn’t seem like the world we have. We know people will try with whatever new thing we learn or create. Where does the responsibility lie then for those who bring that new thing into existence, knowing it may be used to cause harm? We know Shell and BP and Nestle and Elon and Phillip Morris and United Health all cause harm in pursuit of power and use science and technology to enable their ambitions. Every new insight, every new technology further empowers the worst of us to do the worst to us and it seems to me like that isn’t going to be stopping in my lifetime. That was made possible by the consolidation of private wealth and control over collective resources capitalism enables, the technology of the corporation enabled.
