Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

    In bourgeois dictatorships, voting is useless, it’s a facade. They tell their subjects that democracy=voting but they pick whoever they want as rulers, regardless of the outcome. Also, they have several unelected parts in their government which protect them from the proletariat ever making laws.

    Real democracy is when the proletariat rules.

      By that I meant any political activity really. This isn’t a defense of electoralism.

      Machines are replacing humans in the economy, and that has material consequences.

      Holding onto ideas of human exceptionalism is going to mean being unprepared.

      A lot of people see minor obstacles for machines, and conclude they can’t replace humans, and return to distracting themselves with other things while their livelihood is being threatened.

      Robotaxis are already operating, and a product to replace most customer service jobs has just been released for businesses to order about 1 months ago.

      Many in this thread are navel gazing about how that bot won’t really experience anything when they get created, as if that mattered to any of this.

        I’m going to peace out of this convo ✌️

        Still waiting for you to do that, you pathologically-lying evidence-dodging craven jackoff.

        LLMs are not “AI.”

        “AI” is a marketing hype label that you have outright swallowed, shat out over a field of credulity, fertilized that field with that corporate hype shit, planted hype seeds, waited for those hype seeds to sprout and blossom, reaped those hype grains, ground those hype grains into hype flour, made a hype cake, baked that hype cake, put candles on it to celebrate the anniversary of ChatGPT’s release, ate the entire cake, licked the tray clean, got an upset stomach from that, then stumbled over, squatted down, and shat it out again to write your most recent reply.

        Nothing you are saying has any standing with actual relevant academia. You have bought into the hype to a comical degree and your techbro clown circus is redundant, if impressively long. How long are you going to juggle billionaire sales pitches and consider them actual respectable computer science?

        How many times are you going to outright ignore links I’ve already posted over and over again stating that your position is derived from marketing and has no viable place in actual academia?

        Also, your contrarian jerkoff contempt for humanity (and living beings in general) doesn’t make you particularly logical or beyond emotional bias.

        Also, take those leftist jargon words out of your mouth, especially “materialism;” you’re parroting billionaire fever dreams and takes likely without the riches to back you up, effectively making you a temporarily-embarrassed bourgeoisie-style bootlicker without an actual understanding of the Marxist definition of the word.

        I’ll keep reposting this link until you or your favorite LLM treat printer digests it for you enough for you to understand.

        Bourgies are human exceptionalists. They want human slaves. That’s why they want sentient AI. And that’s why machines will never be able to replace humans in capitalism.

          And that’s why machines will never be able to replace humans in capitalism.

          If the bourgeoisie stick around long enough, they may very well finance the development of artificial slaves that are not just robots or programs (or LLMs) but are self-aware enough to potentially experience suffering while toiling for the owners’ benefit.

          And they fucking want that. JB-shining-aggro
