I see we’ve reached the “blame your failures on communist subterfuge” phase of the AI business plan

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

A well known propaganda technique is to simply keep repeating something, even if it’s false. If you hear it enough it starts to be taken more seriously and seems more true.
The first time I heard about this theory about China was on Lemmy. I do see the original image says it’s from NPR, which I’ll just assume is true since I don’t want to look it up. That said, Im a regular donator to my local NPR station and use it as one of my main news sources. Maybe it was a story they mentioned once, but I missed it.
But I’ve seen this posted several times on Lemmy. This time I even checked the OPs post history to see if I could notice any patterns. Nothing jumped out at me.
At this point, I think Lemmy is helping spread this rumor more than the rich elites seem to be. Maybe it’s better to let this story die instead of reporting it over and over. For that reason I’m downvoting this post.
