Is it wrong that I hope it eats itself and implodes?

If it’s wrong, then I’m wrong right along with you.

You're rooting for a revolutionary new technology to fail rather than get better. I'd call that wrong.

If nothing else, AI is never going to get worse than it is now. So if that's intolerably bad for you then improvement is the only way out.

As long as the oligarchs who run and own these AI systems are at the helm, yes I'm rooting for it to fail. Better is in the eyes of the beholder. Because come on, we all know better is going to be defined as better for the oligarchs, not you or me.

I run my own AI models on my own home PC. Am I an oligarch?

There's nothing 'revolutionary' about a mass theft machine until EVERYONE IT'S STEALING FROM is getting paid out of the thieves' pockets for what was stolen from them; and the people that run it make no profit from it. Til then, it's just business as usual out of the west's necrocapitalists; and your business makes me vomit.

Look at my profile for one reason and look at this video for another: Jon Stewart On The False Promises of AI | The Daily Show
