    I’m not worried about AI takeover at all honestly. These LLMs are not intelligent and are not something that would ever be a like terminator threat imo. But they are an economic threat. These companies are basically lighting trillions of dollars on fire and thinking its going to make a profit somehow. Then its going to destroy entire local economies and environments when they build these huge things, and abandon them there. The treasury markets will crash due to the Iran war Trump started too and interest rates will rise causing a broad liquidity crisis and a global depression. The 2000s and the 1900s are rhyming far too much for my liking.

        I feel like its gonna be that one scene from that marvel movie where the evil people are like “We have identified our targets” and then it shows a map where its like every single person who exists lol. I think it was the captain america one with the giant flying aircraft carriers.

          kind of, the problem is general person will trust it for some reason, while carpet bombing a city looks bad, leveling a city with precise munitions and telling each time “ai said so” looks like responsible moral warfare as evidenced by entity behavior

            I really don’t think it matters what the general person in the west thinks lol. It’s never mattered before. It’s not like the US hasn’t killed millions of innocent people over the last few decades. The only thing thats going to stop that is when other countries can fight back. Like Iran is now. There is no timeline where the typical American rises up and demands their government stops murdering people in the numbers needed to actually force a change.

              I agree it’s unlikely any time soon. but you really think there’s no limit to how bad US material conditions can get and still no meaningful pushback?

              Maybe by that time there won’t be anything we can call an ““American government”” so you win again

                Yes. The Imperial core will never pursue peace. It will never voluntarily end imperialism. The US material conditions worsening will only accelerate its decline into fascism. Socialism will not grow from the poisoned soil of the imperial core. It will grow from the global south and eventually spread into the remains of the core after it has collapsed.

        Yeah but that’s not so much the LLM being the threat as the idiot human being the threat. It would be no different then like me putting a cat in the same room as the big red button. When it steps on it and launches nukes its not really the cat doing it. It’s the fact that I was an absolute moron who locked a cat in that room for some reason. And idiot humans have always been the main threat when it comes to nukes.
