Analogies? I only counted one.

Many of these trends were happening before GPT, but it sounds better to say it's because of AI and not shareholder value.

you're just personally insulted.

I swear to God this attitude is why people don't like what you're saying. I am all for weighing the two against each other but the "I am more moral than thou" is why I left the church.

With you up until bringing the far left into this. What does universal healthcare, trans rights or taxing billionaires have to do with the surveillance state, aside from dismantling it?

But not by the white people.

Does Japan / type-A not have grounded circuits?

If this is Walmart we're talking about then I sure as hell contributed to their success by subsidizing their underpaid employees with food stamps.

Don't know who needs to hear this but VPNs are allowed in China and can get around "censorship". In general you can still access information abroad but China is dedicated to having their mass-media not be inflammatory. You can talk about Uighurs on RedNote, but you can't level baseless accusations and expect those to stay up.

You need to have better opinions. Only Nazis disagree with me! /s

The point is that being a consumer of AI is not seizing the means of production. If you're not spending millions of dollars training and operating the AI to actually own it, the power you have is on lease and the terms can change at anytime without regard to your needs or wishes.

More like national socialist

AI isn't your pal, it is not the cure for isolation under capitalism. It is also not free to run unless you are the product.

Frankly this take that AI will lead to a communist revolution if people embrace the technology reads more like Vulgar Marxism. You're not seizing the means of production by being a consumer of a technology. And training a communist aligned LLM is a dubious value proposition.
