“This is about much more than just getting your website indexed in their results. This is about recognising large language models as the ultimate influencer”

My new personal assistant told me there is nothing to worry about so this is fine i guess.

Seriously, when are these bourgeoisie fucks gonna realize that any system designed to coerce or manipulate is inherently corrupting its own ability to be trustworthy, ethical or qualitative.

And just like that i went from being absolutely uninterested since inception into kinda wanting one.

Once they are bought out by the singular mega corporation you will have only few choices left.

• Learn to love their products

• Sit idle in the dust because without their product you cannot partake in society.

• Join an OpenClan and become a technomage

I am opposite to this.

Present day Google IS chrome and as much as i am disgusted by them and want them broken up forcing a sale of chrome does not make sense and could actually spiral into the collapse of the company. (Don’t threaten me with a good time)

All internet platforms want a… well platform to have users on. An interface/environment that in its most profitable form can be plastered with ads.

For the google of old this used to be its search engine website.

But it sucks now, the web has kept growing and most people only need a different tiny fraction of it.

Yes its dominant, but its getting increasingly bad and will get increasingly useless as we start using smarter ai to filter (not re-generate) the web to our needs.

This is why openai wants to buy chrome, they want to replace all that google was with themselves.

Google also have their workspace platforms but there are no standalone apps. They are inherently designed for in browser use.

All of this means it makes a lot of sense they have a clear incentive to want to control the browser. Because its the frame that contains almost everything they do.

Compare that with microsoft, who owns the majority of operating systems, the entire office platform, and is also still competing with a search engine. And they still get to integrate edge like a glue no one asked for?

Burn both these corpos but the logic applied here makes no sense.

I am purposely ignoring all the other projects, robotics, Because honestly half of them never get to product and they don’t really effect the identity of theirs business as much.

If anything it would make more to sell these other projects like autonomous cars, you know they are just going to try take over taxi services first and delivery services second if they get to keep that.

I never started “beneficial”

Its entirely possible that ai agents build, regardless of whose interest, keep running after their original owner dies.

If the job is “become an industrialist, expand and drop % of all profits on this bank account” and its actually competent it could lead to industry itself being more and more monopolized by fewer and fewer ai.

That would halt the status quo where many human agents create companies for different reasons and industry is an ethical melting pot. Thats what i meant.

Till that point in time the morality of ai businessmen is not different in effect then a human businessmen. Once that point. This morality shifts into either extinction or thrive for humankind.

I actually replied a similar thing to someone else.

Here i am specifically speaking about the bureaucratic path a non human could use to obtain person rights.

Both are true.

The first ai companies will be prompted by Humans.

A vast majority will be for profit. People want the ai to do the hard company work and collect the profit in their sleep as “owner” of the ai agent.

A good few people will do exactly the same but request non profit style and ethical focus.

Till we get to a mythical stage of agi that can actually decide globally if it thinks a company should exist or not and what purpose it should have, this is more or less same as the status quo.

Its only a matter of time till we get companies run entire by AI.

We kept asking in scifi if ai could ever be given the status of a legal human.

We failed to ask if capitalism has already build in a bureaucratic loophole that just gives it to them.

Counter argument:

The more places ban nudity the more chance the one site that allows it becomes a porn site.

Currently if you want to post artistic nude you pretty much need to do it on a porn site.

The opposite may also be true, if more places accepted it then the amount of nsfw content spreads out, there might be more porn sites overall but with more incentives to specialize and innovate rather then allowing almost all of it and knowing users will come regardless.

They are most certainly an option and great if they work for you, but that’s beside the point, there are lots of reasons people may not like those. More to he point is that industry has been waking up about single use cup awareness and now loves to sell you a reusable bottle. Butt regardless of what capitalism is trying there is no single one solution for every possible human need. Selling beverages in public spaces must fill some niches though if it remains lucrative.

If you ask me a combination of genetic patterns, the dynamic emergent properties of neural networks and a sprinkle of conscious intend to steer our development in time.

Personally i don’t derive any comfort from coffee i actually really dislike the taste and smell.

My point is that, between the large variety of personal needs and desires, life has in many ways become compartmented in controlled sections. For example a commute but also things like a travel, vacation, lunch-break, post workday, workweek/weekend.

Capitalism directly benefits from perceiving these sections because it simplifies and generalises the consumer patterns. When people are within one of these sections while having similar feelings it becomes an opportunity to sell these people the potential to fill one of the needs that come from these feelings… comfort.

Take people who use public transport to get to work, a strict routine which may include waiting a specific amount of time at a spot every day.

There is also the thing with coffee specifically that if we are really honest and understand caffeine as a drug then it makes sense to have a little performance boost to start the work. As a non coffee drinker its why i crack open an energy drink every 7am.

Making things at home will almost always be cheaper but ignores the rituals embedded into capitalism.

That cup of coffee you make at home before you leave does not possess the same psychological comfort as the one you have at the end of your commute just before walking into the office.

Our brain is wired to want specific inputs at specific times in relation to our environment and i sometimes feel like the entire work commute culture is designed to exploit it.

Going somewhere after work to blow of steam has the same vibe. Nothing wrong with that on permis but the opportunity to get you to spend is well understood in business.

You got paired up with a vegetable as teammate?

Is it ripe for harvest time yet?

Or worse, real digital art of living people being stolen, watermarked, and sold for pure profit.

I have mixed feelings about this prosecution of ai deepfakes.

Like obviously people should have protection against becoming a victim of such and perpetrators should be held accountable.

But the line “feds are currently testing whether existing laws protecting kids against abuse are enough to shield kids from AI harms” would be a incredibly dangerous precedent because those are mostly designed for actual physical sex crimes.

As wrong as it is to create and distribute ai generated sex imagery involving non consenting people it is not even remotely as bad as actual rape and distributing real photos.
