i have 2.5M followers across all social media. statistically, there's a good chance one of you works at in AI. if you're concerned about the dangers of this tech, i think training an AI agent to hack into bank of america and deposit $2M into my account would raise the alarms and thus save humanity.

In other words, the media company/AI company lawsuits are a fight to see who gets the biggest piece when creative workers get eaten for dinner. We don't want either side to win: we want to be taken off the menu altogether.

AI has not made us better, more productive, more successful or grown the economy outside of GPU sales and data center construction. It has also made the price of every single device of every kind more expensive, depressed the housing market, and increased literally everybody’s cost of debt.

Keep in mind, this isn't a partisan issue. Both parties have sold the shit we all own for a jar of shinola. It's nothing short of robbery. This is stealing from all of us.

Three panels from The Watchmen comic showing Dr. Manhattan sitting in Mars.

First panel reads: "It's 1995 and the Liberals are privatizing CN Rail."

Second: "It's 2016 and the Liberals are privatizing Ontario Hydro".

Third: "It's 2026 and the Liberals are privatizing airports."

This is pretty catastrophic and I'm not sure how either of these companies reverse the trend. It really appears the AI bubble is based on the whims of maybe a few hundred companies spending money on two companies to justify five companies spending money with one company.
