Humans evolve ever faster to conquer/control known territories and spaces, and then basically play God from there. It's why Discord cults are so rampant now (and the actors trying to limit/ban Discord are really just testing out or trying to enrich their own control under the guise of user safety or other bs logic). This isn't even a new phenomenon, as there are early stories even from the late 1900's of people forming insular cliches (such as bar staff and patrons, etc.) and early humanity was even a bunch of tribes. What I'm saying is basically similar to the idea of the Dark Enlightenment, that progress can also progress control, niches, and hostilities maybe even faster as attempts to retain a wellspring crumbles under the actions, passive or active, of human actors. AI is what advances resource use outside of what would take multiple human factions, minimizing human suffering that is part of that. AI also distributes to the most people the most efficiently, even if often times it takes from sources with asking the author, but I don't really care about that since the authors are a bunch of pretentious fuckasses who tend to spew stuck-up talking points anyways.

AI probably is the newest frontier of freedom and possibly the last bastion of it.

There's dark sides to Ai. As of now the majority use Ai only for entertainment, or use it to figure people out or search engines, or some form of companionship from friendship and up.

Then there are those employing Ai in a business sense.

When the majority catch on it'll be too late. They'll be late to employ Ai, while their late Ai business models will enter a congested market with older businesses, big ones, countless small busineses, and other Ai businesses and side hustles both early and established, and new and trying to catch up to the earlier entries.

People are losing jobs, in some cases people who use Ai are the ones keeping their jobs because of that reason. For others their required services are replaces with more cost effective solutions.

Ai increased the price of certain PC hardware. 16GB of RAM was $900. The price last I looked was about $600. The price drop indicates the Ai bubble is going to burst, as the big Ai companies aren't buying as much hardware to add to their clusters.

GPU's have appreciated in value. Nvidia is less interested in gaming and more into Ai, as they sell their chips in mass to corporations building and marketing Ai.

The operating cost of Ai requires more electricity than entire cities. Uses a lot of water in the process. It's an extremely high carbon footprint.

Our civilization will shift into an autonomous one where machines are working for the established, while serving the unestablished in charitable fashion. That being plenty for the rich, while the poor gains little for free. No middle class.

When a majority is poor, change will be in demand. Doing away with the financial system will be called for, which should increase what gains are acquired for free. A successful revolution will turn the civilization into one that overconsumes. Getting a vehicle can be easy, while getting a desired vehicle will come with a long waiting list.

Great things come with higher polarities. A celebrity is loved by millions more than you, but is also hated by millions more than you. Ai is great, but the negatives are as profound as the positives.

So what? I acknowledge climate change but I am not against it.
