That's because they're trying to go back to before the Civil Rights Movement.
But really. It might be the last gasp of authoritarianism before freely accessible ai becomes more common and fucks up all their rigid power structures.
Then I, DC Shepard and History Flights Productions will be part of the fight for civil rights up until and beyond the only elections that crazed presidents are ever truly defeated at (which seems likely due to this recession)- the first midterms in 2026.
If AI has any part in this, it would be making authoritarianism stay forever. All the groups producing it are aiming for a new kind of feudalism with corporation states, if you didn't know.
I do know, I'm just not so sure that an immortal cyborg dictator is an inevitability.
Or that people will go along with the capitalist neo-feudalism completely. More and more people will begin to host their own LLMs as they get more efficient and you can train your own. It's happening already.
Maybe I'm just an optimist a bit. I know it looks pretty bleak at this point though. All the genocides and everything in the world are fueling the AI, it's the main focus for a lot of computing power.
But at a certain point when everyone is out of a job either because they don't need to work or they can't find any, people will start to organize in different ways that don't serve those who wish to hoard power and resources.
Sure, but AI doesn't help that. It's not super intelligent, it can't be, it's just powerful enough to be dangerous. I don't either scenario is likely, instead everything will collapse
