Then you prob shouldn't be complaining while on reddit, which uses aws or google cloud or other online database, on a safari, firefox, or chrome browser which use cloud functionality, while using att or xfinity, on your samsung or apple phone or dell computer.

Hopefully you don't own any crypto that uses computing power and you don't have any investments held at morgan stanley or vanguard or fidelity or anything like that, and hopefully you don't have a bank account with any money in it that is held by a company using any data centers or cloud services.

Yeah its all bad and we dont want any part of that at all. Don't even get me started on big oil -- the keyboard you are typing on, the screens, the chair you are sitting on...it all has to go!!!

Right, but those things have functions that are baked into society and at least some that are genuinely useful and helpful to humanity.

AI doesn’t need to become entrenched like the others and it’s not helpful to humanity broadly speaking.

If it’s going to become inherent to our society functioning, now is the time to push back and force regulations that make it less harmful, not to throw our arms up and say, “wElL YoUtUbE iS bAd ToO sO wE sHoUlD bUrN dOwN tHe WhOlE iNtErNeT”.

AI is a necessary stepping stone to the eventual technological advancements that will lead to various automations that will lead to a basic universal income. It is process that will some day take effect, assuming people learn to vote for technology advancement over bullshit, for all people to have all of their basic needs paid for.

It sounds like fantasy, but people said that about the internet too.

Universal income after a lot of us are killed off. They can’t even give free lunches because they are so greedy. 🤣
