I feel this question is very trite, but Ive been considering how AI hasnt really had its killer app in the consumer market. The military industrial complex has floods of cash and you can see the collaboration between big tech and the government today. Also as conditions worsen the average person is not going to be able to afford the AI toaster or whatever they come up with as a consumer product. I dont see the bourgeois who invested so much into AI pivoting to something else, so the conclusion ive drawn is it will have to be the military that is going to be the main consumer.

Conditions worsening is going to lead to chaos and resistance in the streets and it seems like that is when the government can start deploying their AI-based military applications. Idk what form it woukd take, possibly autonomous systems that put down protests/demos etc.

    Short term it’s probably going to be like how Israel uses it. Basically, set it up to do some data analytics and then say “the robot told us to murder those children because they were Hamas terrorists”

    Yes, realistically this is what I see happening, but to a greater degree as big tech tries to get the military to employ their AI systems
