AI society is going to be:

- you, chained on your sofa, watching ads "tailored-made by AI for you"

- weaponized robots roaming the streets to ensure everyone is "at work" and not "at leisure activities"

- "no need to vote", of course, because "AI already knows what's good for you"...

After showing us that these people are willing to vote for Trump twice?

Having people like Peter Thiel over there who thinks daemons exist?

With Elon Musk having all social security numbers and no one cares about that? Or his blant disruption of democracy?

In china people disappear, true, but at least with China you know what you get. With USA its schizophrenia every 4 years and it wouldnt matter to me if suddenly my air travels are no longer possible due to Trump or i have to pay a lot more due to market disruptions.

Nah, the weaponized robots don't need to ensure you're working. They need to ensure you're either watching advertisements or working!

Obviously, if you're a child you can't work, so you need to be advertising fodder.

I usually don't even know what ai I'm using at any one time. It's just a choice in my IDE between a bunch of different models, and I switch models every now and then when the response time slows down too much (usually when the Americans start waking up). I have no loyalty to any one product.

I suppose I'd rather the US wins AI as opposed to, say, China

If you're an US citizen, I would understand why. If you're from elsewhere, looking at how both countries deal with foreign policies, perhaps the answer requires some serious reflection.

Yeah, there's nothing about the current America I want to "win" AI; nor the people leading it.

I'm sure China has the same type of leadership, but they've yet to threaten to nuke a whole civilization.

Obviously, we want to be in the middle between what America represents and China, and that's currently Europe.
