Opened inkscape for the first time and put together something now that these ai companies are just flat out saying that we don’t deserve ram.

    Why do people love this quote? They (Athenians) literally came and took it, it’s just a prideful comment made by losers.

    Nice. Maybe do a “Cold dead hands” text version to appeal to the freedom and 2nd ammendment fans.

    They don’t mean the ram you have. They mean the ram you’ll be able to have. Suggesting that you’ll defend your ram is silly because they already won.

      Yeah, this is like a tin hat libertarian cradling his AR15 in his basement while the fascists of the world build nukes and kamikaze drones

          They don’t get money from those things tho

          They just burn money, they literally can’t make any

            Investment firms do, which are the ones giving them money.

            In effect, yes, that is how it works and they do get money from it.

              Investment firms like returns

              They’re just starting to realize they’ll never see one from this, and once it’s apparent to enough of them, the spigot is gonna close

                Investment firms create returns through market manipulation.

                Thats all these AI firms are to them. The product itself is irrelevant. A funding round increases speculation.

                They make money on it going up, and they make money on it going down. Don’t expect them to stop shoveling money in just because its “unprofitable” for the company they are investing in.

                The stock valuation is the only profit they need.

                  They only make money on it going down if they get the right valuation and find a big enough sucker to buy their shares

            Why does it need to be profitable to be funded and used by the government as a weapon? Allowing people to use it is literally giving the government access to see everything, from systems to thoughts.

            So, I’d say it’s profitable af.

              Someone would still need to pay for it, regardless of how useful it is.

              Useful is not the same thing as profitable.

              AI is not being used as a weapon, it is being used as an accountability sink for the people using the weapons. Also useful, but not profitable.

                  I think we have a disagreement about what counts as a weapon.

                  The missles that the US military willfully deployed to triple tap the children’s school in Iran were weapons. The AI “Targeting systems” that told them that children’s school was a valid target is not a “weapon” in the sense that it doesn’t do anything other than identify “targets”.

                  The purpose of this is to allow the user to knowingly commit war crimes, while being able to put the accountability for target acquisition onto the AI.

                  Israel uses it in the same way to prosecute their ongoing genocide of the Palestinians.

                  Do you know of an alternate way in which the AI is being used as a weapon? I haven’t heard of one, but i would be interested to learn new information.

                  (To be clear, I am in no way pro-AI, and i do not think the way that it is being used in war is acceptable. I just don’t think an LLM constitutes a weapon in and of itself)
