"And you look at that and you think that wasn't the technologies fault. That was the fault of the people who um who set up the political system that enabled it to work that way."

And that is what the public should focus on.

AI in its current state is neither fantastic nor a sure path to doom. It can be a boon to society for sure.

But a few individuals leading a few companies that burn 100s of billions of $$ to get the rest of society hooked (and maybe, dependent) on a subscription service, that is a problem.

For all I care it would be better if that were government-funded research, and results open source everyting. Tax the people once, society profits forever.

The way it works now looks more like an attempt at wealth transfer from the public to a few executives & VC's pockets, using AI as a vehicle.

Seems the Chinese are showing the way here?
