AI as a technology is not a problem. AI in the hands of rich and powerful sociopaths is another matter.

    Exactly. One silly use for ai I use is :

    “I forget what season of game of thrones I was one before I stopped watching. I want to watch again. What season did I leave off on?”

    AI: here’s theee events that happen in the show. Which do you remember?… okay now here’s three more events… okay you’re on season 4 episode 2”

    I have no idea were else I could do that. I’m not willing to ruin the world for that feature but it’s a good feature.

    It’s a tool like any other. Who uses the tool is the problem.

    ignoring climate change

    More like being responsible for two thirds of all climate change, and ensuring nobody else can do anything about it.

    I think, in this case, two things can be true. The ruling class is and has been killing us with wars, legislating people into starvation, etc. They’re also hoping to kill us with their llms next.

    They killed us with the combustion engine in tanks too. The technology exists now. I don’t like nukes but nukes are real and people are going to have them. We can’t go back. Now we are in an AI Cold War. It will pass…or end the world. It’s something we have to deal with now. Going back isn’t an option anymore.

    Sorry what exactly are you asking? that we are in a Cold War with AI?

    The major world powers are racing to have the best AI for mostly defense and war regions.

    China doesn’t want America to have better AI America doesn’t want China to have better AI.

    Much like the Cold War and building the biggest nuke.

    I’m not saying it’s proven whoever has the best ai will have a major advantage… but it appears everyone in power believes that is the case.

    Much like the Cold War and nukes. Whoever has the best and most wins.

    I like how exactly 90 days after SpaceX would have had to abide by the NASDAQ rules they changed, all the AI CEOs suddenly call for a slow down so they don't get blamed for the economic hit they know is coming.

    "But we had to slow down to keep everyone safe."

    No, you need to blame safety and get the public on board to avoid the pitchforks when you inevitably tank the global economy because you've overexposed the entire world to your carelessness. ...again.

    One of them actually said on camera that they'll kill us by the end of the decade but at least they'll make us a lot of money first. It's like real life isn't even trying anymore.

    Also, it's just a ploy to get the market regulated in thier favor.

    I agree. I also like the format of the dialogue (though I wish it was more of a back and forth between the blue and red aliens)

    You should swap the colours around.

    I mean, bourgeois women do exist. It feels like through word choice this poster is implying that bourgeois men are the real problem and bourgeois women either aren't "in power" enough to be mentioned or that they aren't as much of a problem. They might have picked up this phrase from liberal feminists, it very subtly signals liberal feminist positions. There are a bunch of little quirks of the vocabulary that tell me this person is probably a radlib, like the fact that they seem to say in the fourth comic that the demonization of immigrants is to distract an otherwise revolutionary class of white people (implied). They don't center the immigrants but rather the people who hate the immigrants as misguided, which is something a white radlib or left-communist might say because they don't like the idea of being part of a reactionary settler labor aristocracy class whose violence towards its internal colonized populations of black people, indigenous people, and immigrants isn't a misguided error caused by their ruling class fooling them, but violence to maintain their position over an underclass. There's also the third comic that critiques "men in power" on an individual basis and not a systemic one, in fact, the comment never once says anything about systems, which is, at best, a kind of putschist position; "Just remove these men in power and everything will be fine," or at worst, a pro-capitalist social democrat position. It's a bad comic.

    A fully automated army will assure the destruction of the working class without mutually murdering the 1% and the planet they intend to lord over.
