    Anyone who thinks this was about getting AI working was the idiot from the start, there still isn’t even a real use-case for it. This was always about funneling huge amounts of money from the government budget to a bunch of rich assholes. The outcome doesn’t matter at all here.

      There are several real use cases for it, it’s just that they’re worth like ten bucks a month to me all together and OpenAI is running at a loss while charging… *checks notes* 200 dollars per month for their top tier model?

        And making starving artists’ lives even more unlivable. And taking human creativity and joy from humans.

        While destroying the environment. It’s so efficient.

      So, basically the military industrial complex (which liberals support!) but with less genocide? Don’t get me wrong, I hate Trump and Republicans are clearly the greater evil, but liberals have helped conservatives funnel trillion of dollars in public assets to the 1% for decades. It was under Bill Clinton that the internet, which was publically funded and publicly built, was given to the 1%. So to me, this is just more of the same: capitalist politicians stealing from us to make the 1% wealthier.

        How was the Internet given to the 1% under Clinton? And people gave it to the tech companies. Internet was supposed to be a bunch of independent sites. But it is easier to just go to a few.

        Do you have any proof, or is it just conspiracy theory?

        So you want to say that liberals who oppose wealth inequality themselves support that same billionaires? What a BS.

        P.S. It seems that democratic party in US is more right-wing than “social democratists” as in the EU, looking at their policies.

          Most democrat politicians aren’t Bernie Sanders or Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. Sure, other very progressive dems also do exists, but the majority are those “human-faced capitalism” types.

          The person you’re replying to may be much further to the left than you give them credit for.

          The lesser of two evils is still evil and deserves to be called such. The US is not a benevolent nation.

        Taking the insanely massive emissions of the AI industry, it may not be genocide in the traditional sense, but it’s contributions alone will lead to people dying

        The internet as a physical entity was created by the telecommunications industry as they owned and laid all the cabling. Why would you think Clinton gave the internet to the 1% when telecoms owned the entirety of the phone and cable network to begin with?
