They already are! The government signed exclusive military contracts with OpenAI to develop autonomous weapons. Half of these AI companies are being propped up with taxpayer dollars in the form of government contracts or subsidies, or the promise that there will be a taxpayer revenue stream coming their way in the near future.
Oh no, not et cetera! That encompasses all the other things!
Lol you can see where the “I did that” sticker used to be…
Wonder if it was an old Biden version or a new Trump version.
Is at least in a feudalistic society. The farmers would own the their own land and there’s not much the big corporations would be able to do about that.
Sadly, in the feudal age peasants and serfs did not own the land. They worked the land and paid rent to their lord, who actually owned it.
The land is the “means of production”, and the landlords exist solely to extract value from it.
In the modern era, the digital ecosystem is a new means of production. We are the digital tenants, and they are the digital landlords. Nothing has changed, although for a brief period of time in the 90’s and early 2000’s the wall street capitalists didn’t think the internet was anything more than a fad and things were good, but e-commerce was just too lucrative for them to ignore forever.
Nothing will change until they fear for their lives.
Likewise. I used to get 3-4 cold DMs or connection requests from recruiters per week just a couple years ago. Now I maybe get 1 per month.
It’s nice for me specifically, but definitely a symptom of the times and worrysome for anybody trying to find a job in this economy now while also having to compete with fucking AI slop generators doing all the menial and entry level work.
Please bind to my receptors, kthxbai
What I meant by that is the ability to access the entire world interconnectivity - obviously cutting those cables would not affect domestic internet access but people who live elsewhere would not be able to access content hosted overseas in gulf states.
I don’t think Iran cares if their citizens can access the internet or not. I presume their military uses satellites for that sort of thing so they won’t be negatively affected by it.
The rest of the world, on the other hand, gets their access to worldwide connectivity held hostage.
The old YT player was perfect and nobody will convince me otherwise.
Yeah, forget about playing dumb or figuring out ways of getting away with it, I’d be like “I dunno, who are you?” so when they tell me I can immediately cut contact with them.
If they play games like this for just texting other women they won’t be mellowing out if you decide to get serious.
I would not buy one. I would not use one if my current phone exploded into tiny pieces and the only convenient replacement was a free OpenAI phone - I’d much rather inconvenience myself.
Did I get transported to the Epstine Universe? I swear it was always the Epstain Files!
Every time I see this image I swear his eyes get smaller every time.
Crone, grant me the wisdom to understand wtf is going on in this thread…
