Most people treat AI as a convenient black box. Ask it something, it answers, you move on. But we’re sleepwalking into something bigger. I think Whoever controls the infrastructure of knowledge controls how people perceive reality. The Church held that position for centuries through controlling scripture. The printing press broke that monopoly by distributing interpretive power. AI is doing the opposite recentralizing it into a handful of corporations with no democratic accountability. “AI says X” is structurally identical to “studies show X” you’re invoking an authority you can’t directly access. Except with a study you can theoretically trace the source. With AI the chain is opaque by design. And it delivers wrong answers and right answers with identical confidence. There’s no texture to...

Can someone help me understand this? I mean, how on earth are these companies who are planning to replace us all with beep boops expecting these unimaginably high expense technologies to be better for their bottom line than just paying us low wage unwashed masses? I mean, some dude (respectfully, I use that term genderlessly) here just posted about min wage in their area being $7.25! You are not getting a robot or AI that costs less annualized. Even adding in annual benefits - that is a steal compared to data centers and complex robots who will be absurdly expensive to fix when they break. I’m a white collar worker with deep knowledge of worker costs, even at the top it’s cheaper than what all of this new buggy crap is going to cost. I’m so confused. What am I missing? Why are the evil ove...

"I'm retired and started showing my MS Paint paintings to AI for criticism. The AI invented feuding critics, manifestos and a legal barrister to defend my work. Google now has a definition for my made up term. Here's what an accidental human/AI creative partnership looks like."

I am a PhD student (not in AI) and am usually alright when it comes to studying a topic I don't know much about. But it seems that because AI is so highly discussed nowadays, it's impossible to get a good gauge of what the rational scholarly consensus is regarding its and our future. I am constantly bombarded with people saying that at best most jobs are replaced and the future is a dystopia, and at worst AGI/ASI is achieved and we all are killed by a bioweapon or something. It honestly has me terrified, especially when I see a lot of figures in the AI sphere, including academics, seem to think that there are reasonably high "p(doom)"'s (what a horrifying concept that is). How am I supposed to parse all of this? Are there any actually level-headed people? Or are the people shouting about d...
