    The problem is not inherit to AI. The problem is with the people who own the tech and it will much worse if they also own a more efficient version of it. Not that it seems like an immediate threat and I am not even starting to consider the ethical problems with this.

    The funny thing about this headline is, human brains are neural networks, so the last sentence could also say

    “Soon, neural networks could out think neural networks.”

    The owners of capital demand slave labour. Take the work houses away and they demand chattel slavery. Take the chattel slaves away and they want convict labour. Take the convict labour away and they want undocumented foreigners to exploit. Take that away and they casualise work and pay people in tips or commissions. Take that away and they export work to countries that will do all the things they can’t do at home.

    The investment in LLMs is purely a scam at this point but much of the initial enthusiasm was driven by the disdain for labour. Highly skilled labour like engineers keep arguing with the MBAs that their cost cutting is going to kill people or destroy the company and that really upsets them and risks the bonuses and share buyback program.

    While the drudgery of work isn’t great, I would much prefer the capital class invested in R&D and equipment to make their skilled, specialized workers more productive and improved our remuneration and conditions as happened in previous generations before the MBA apocalypse. Instead they are trying to cut us out. Too many people are living paycheck to paycheck and unable to afford housing as wealth inequality escalates.

    Mistreatment of animals or brain cells in a box isn’t the same as putting a child to work in a mine but the mindset that drives us in this direction is.

      I was just watching a thing about the Adeptus Mechanicus and their “computers”. Even the full robots still use a wafer of human brain as the processor so that no AI is used.

      It’s sounding more and more like a prediction than a warning.

      And I bet right-wing profiteers pastors would have nothing bad to say about human-machine hybrids that can’t technically be slaves because they don’t have souls.

        Read the room. Now, think a little bit.
        … i could explain in detail but you and i know that when one receives an adversarial comments without a hint of a shared point of view, we go toward useless bickering.
