while I loath all things "AI", I also see it as an inevitable phase in humanities adoption of digital technology, and the sooner it dies under it's own failures, the better. The doom loop of self referentialism, and forced engagement has ended real growth and is reducing actual human productivity and efficiency, while making it painfully obvios that "economic performance" (ha!), only applies to rich people

As ineffective demonstrating has been to slow the spread of fascism and authoritarianism, I feel demonstrating will have even less effect on trillion dollar corporations hell-bent on forcing ai into every aspect of society.
