It’s just another money/power grab. Tech bros want to spy on your kids to train their mythical AGI God, make shit loads of money and be in a position of influence.
Take away people’s economic independence. Take their intellectual capital. Take their capacity to learn and think independently and ultimately their capacity to play and imagine.
The sheep are being led towards a very fucking grim world.
Lets be clear it isn’t the tech that is bad. Self hosting a model for a task that suits it like speech recognition for a disabled person is righteous and liberating.
I hate to agree with the Marxists of Lemmy but the problem is very much capitalism as it is with global warming, pollution and a social inequality. Where I will split with them historically is I still believe in liberal democracies capacity to regulate capitalism for a common good. But when everyone has outsourced their thinking to a corporate AI from birth to death democracy is fucked isn’t it.
We need to be aware of how we are being fucked over, sceptical of people pushing this shit and engaged politically to make sure it is regulated appropriately otherwise these cashed up AI fuckers are going to write legislation for our politicians to rubber stamp.
You call out Capitalism correctly for causing these very conditions due to the profit motive, but still cling onto the illusion that capitalism can somehow be “regulated”. The very point of capitalism is to maximize profits while eliminating costs, it takes no account of the conditions or quality of life of workers since that is literally not the goal. Even just from a logisitcal analysis its obvious, since any social reforms cut into profits by their very nature, and will never be taken on by a capitalist org unless forced to. And when Capitalists have much more political power through lobbying groups and legalized bribery, we don’t regulate capitalism, capitalism regulates us.

Even that is tricky. One must check how the model itself was trained, namely :
