If we were smart we'd use this opportunity to build up renewable energy infrastructure and wean ourselves off oil.
But we're not. Instead other oil producers like Canada will see dollar signs and ramp up their ecological exploitation to cash in on the crisis. Only to inevitably be completely unprepared when the oil market crashes again.

When will Westerners realize that the common characture of the brainwashed, thought controlled, information controlled, constantly surveiled citizen that we attribute to China/The USSR/etc... IS US?! You clutch your pearls at people in other countries potentially being treated like that but are inclined to do nothing about OUR countries treating US like that.
IDK how common this is, but there are stories of companies that make you work on real production code in the interview. Basically suckering you into free work before they give the position to the boss's cousin or something.
I think a major threat that AI poses to human creative works that almost no one is talking about is the fact that humans are choosing/are forced to be less human as some kind of retaliation against AI. This is one example. I've also seen threads on AskLemmy that's totally reasonable for a human to want to ask for themselves being accused of farming responses for AI training. Certain punctuation marks and grammatical patterns are being stigmatised because AI uses them. I don't have solutions for any of this but at some point you really have to ask, is it really worth it to limit or even stigmatize certain aspects of human creativity because of AI? Even if we assume that all AI is objectively wrong, we've clearly seen that AI development is hardly even inconvenienced by these attempts. Are we not partially fulfilling the prophecy of AI destroying human creativity by actively forcing creative humans to "prove" they're not AI or limiting what they can do creatively because AI happens to also do those things.
Ignorance is not strength. If you're so confident in your political stance you'd be able to identify the fallacies used in propaganda against it and not have to stick your head in the sand and avoid anything that might challenge your worldview in the slightest.
If every time I watched liberal/conservative media it threw me into a crisis regarding my socialist beliefs I wouldn't be a socialist no matter how hard I claim to be.
Maybe we should ask them instead of having white people assume what they want.
Oh wait

That argument could hold for freely open source models (and even then there needs to be laws prohibiting copyrighting anything AI generated) but absolutely not closed, for-profit models. Making a profit off someone else's work without their knowledge or permission goes beyond copying into theft.
