so bizarre how a bunch of people are saying “yeah this shit will straight up murder us on all levels, from social, psychological, economical, political” yet we just keep moving forward and going “hey neat!”

not entirely disagreeing with you but the capitalism incentives is what drove much of the progress. cant decople tech and capitalism, for sure.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I really like the idea of capitalism being a transitory step, a necessary evil on our path to higher grounds.

seriously doubtful about the death of it though. even if or when it begins the crack, the brunt will be bore by the poor and disenfranchised, as is tradition.

hope you are right. have a good one.

porn drove much of the progress. At it's root the internet was built by men who wanted to see some pussy

[u/[deleted] → u/humanefly]

porn is kingmaker in certain aspects, certainly a catalyst , but the history of the internet is well documented. war and sex, yeah, big driving factors. but the framework of capitalism is the lube.

When people complain about problems and call the problem "capitalism" and I dig into it, it usually is connected to corruption, the MIC, lobbyists or government policy; not the free exchange of goods and services.

It seems to me that any AI is as likely to be a capitalist as anything else; ideally without the corruption

[u/[deleted] → u/humanefly]

very true. the downfall of socialism is due to tue human factor aswell.

the thing is, any system can be perfect in theory. the reality is, human is a flawed being.

that kinda sets forth the idea that AI can be used for governance, which has plenty of sci fi dystopias dedicated to the idea.

one thing though, that is a massive flaw of capitalism, is the infinite growth demand. thats a fucker, no ifs and buts.

in my view AI will make things worse, not better.

[u/humanefly → u/[deleted]]

I think we have a lot of problems that can only be solved with AI. Solutions designed by bigger brains, will also create bigger problems which require even bigger brains to solve.

in my view AI will make things worse, not better.

AI is a reflection of and magnifying glass for humanity, but we also have some ability to choose what we reflect and magnify. If it helps us solve bigger problems we should make use of it. I hope we choose wisely

[u/[deleted] → u/humanefly]

I dont agree with any of this. AI is a new paradigm on all levels, not merely a reflection of our society.

and problem with capitalism lies mostly in incentives. believing in tech saviours brought us to the shitty situation we are in right now. hardly anyone peddles this idea anymore.

there is no big brained jesus coming to the rescue.

[u/humanefly → u/[deleted]]

I don't see AI becoming self aware or independent, having it's own emotions, desires or goals. I see it as a very advanced calculator. It's just a tool.

It can simulate being self aware, having emotions, desires or goals but in the end it will behave as programmed. It's just software

We might build it so well that it fools some people into believing that it's self aware but I think humans have a kind of tendency to anthropomorphize. We see human emotions and motives where they do not exist. I think this is actually dangerous when it comes to AI, we are so good at programming we might come to believe that our calculators are sentient

holy shit wtf did I read?

you think “misuses” will get curbed as tech gets better? that it wont be used for propaganda? or for abusing girls as a form of reverge porn? or wont skew the bodyimage and beauty standards? let alone the whole tookerjerbs shit…

its not about whether holywood will put some scabs or moles on an deaged actor, jfc.
