And after those laws are fixed, we need to completely dismantle those 6 companies, from top to bottom.

    if AI needs a bailout its because there is no great use case for it.

    if there is a bailout, there is no valid justification, it is just straightup kleptocratic wealth transfer.

      Yea. That’s AI. And frankly the Internet since it became Facebook and Google.

      And the bailout will just be a continuation of the process. Which is why talking about it matters, I think.

      We may be on the precipice of a massive shift in human social organisation. It won’t be the advance of AI as intelligent tech. It will be the gaining of control of information and how society at large relates to the information machine. The Internet was the start, by promising mass decentralisation it merely facilitated mass centralisation.

      AI will do the same. But not at the distribution layer. At the content and ownership layer.

      no great use case for it.

      Owning a piece of the new information age sounds like a use case to me.

      I hate to be a harsh asshole about this … but having no valid justification doesn’t really mean anything anymore. That’s where our world is or is quickly going. And highlighting such a “truth” on the internet isn’t some magic spell like we believed it was in a fleeting moment of Twitter empowerment. Highlighting and knowing such a truth is just the beginning. It’s the minimum. And the powers that be are already playing many moves ahead.
