I’m not worried about AI turning into Skynet. That’s like item # 1,576,549 on my list of reasons I hate AI.

It’s literally everything else about AI:

• Creating scarcity in PC parts and components to feed the AI bros’ insatiable hunger for growth.
• Rent-seekers like Bezos trying to spin the above into yet more “you’ll own nothing and be happy”
• Destroying farmland or otherwise affordable property for sprawling datacenters that create like maybe 12 jobs that can’t be done remotely.
• We never or barely addressed the massive disinformation problem and here’s AI turning it up to 11 by making it trivial to shit out whatever narrative you want at massive scale.
• Stealing from content creators to feed itself and then denying those same creators web traffic
• Just being a bullshit machine that people blindly believe
• Shoving it into everything when no one asks for it and many don’t want it
• Causing electricity rates to go up and subjecting people to either rolling blackouts or dirty generator exhaust because of demand
• The massive use of water for cooling
• Not actually able to do jobs but C-levels laying off people and creating unemployment nonetheless
• C-levels forcing people to use “AI” for the express purpose of training it to do their jobs so they can be laid off
• The goddamned pile of lies upon lies gaslighting us into believing this is to make our lives better.
• Ignoring the loss of jobs, all the supposed savings from “AI” goes to the top; shit isn’t getting any less expensive. It’s even getting more expensive to take a literal shit; the water and poo plants run on electricity, and those risings costs get passed down.
