"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

You are not understanding the situation, the degree to which they are vastly outnumbered is staggering and they must fully understand that if even a small percentage of the general population could organise and mobilise then everything the billionaires have could be very easily taken from them. The idea that they and their families could be overrun at any moment, and with legitimate cause to redistribute wealth, no matter what security or even armies they have in place to protect them must be a constant fear weighing on them. At present the threat is neutralised by propaganda and manipulation of the law and governing powers but that method is an endless juggling act and not wholly reliable, and there are historical precedents for it failing. The obvious solution is a winnowing of the general population down to numbers that could be managed by security measures but for this an alternative workforce must be found.
