When you quit talking to potential customers and go right for the unhinged investors.

We have a plan, boys!

and ignore them because they're incapable of enforcing anything. Turns out half of our representatives are nazis and the other half are spineless cowards.

It runs deeper than that. You can walk back the why's pretty easy to identify anyone's motivation, whether it be personal interest, bias, money, glory, racism, misandry, greed, insecurity, etc.

No one is buying rims for their car for no reason. No one is buying a firearm for no reason. No one donates to a food bank for no reason, that sort of thing, runs for president, that sort of reasoning.

Ai is backed by the motive of a for-profit company, and unless you're taking that grain of salt, you're likely allowing yourself to be manipulated.

Valid reason.

However,....Virtual Machine?

I'd rather not break down a human being to the same level of social benefit as an appliance.

Perception is one thing, but the idea that these things can manipulate and misguide people who are fully invested in whatever process they have, irks me.

I've been on nihilism hill. It sucks. I think people, and living things garner more genuine stimulation than a bowl full of matter or however you want to boil us down.

Oh, people can be bad, too. There's no doubting that, but people have identifiable motives. What does an Ai "want?"

whatever it's told to.

Imagine a world where browsers were primarily funded by donation, with every release bringing something new and exciting to the table to entice new donators, rather than milk the customer for ad revenue.

That was nice... Oh well, back to hell, I guess.

It will happen to YOU!

Young people thinking their Ai waifu is real

Boomers thinking America was great and not just racist and imperialist

Gen X being really entitled because they were raised by Boomers

Millennials being the best at everything

I agree 100%.

Are we really going to devil's advocate for the idea that avoiding society and asking a language model for life advice is okay?

"how dare you insult my robot waifu?!"

The article targets its study on Gen Z but.... yeah, the elderly aren't exactly winners here, either.
