If we were to stop using it then folks would stop purchasing the more expensive American digital products and get them from Japan/Korea/UK/Canada/or China. I do not think it will end well. One of the things that keeps the masses pacified is labor and the ability to translate one's time/effort into a decent standard of living. If the transactional labor (where you follow repetitive steps making something from raw to finished) are automated away, there will be no jobs in other sectors to absorb them into. The purpose of AI is not to transform labor from one form/shape into another.. its to decrease the amount of labor.Skans » 07 Jan 2025, 5:28 pm » wrote: ↑ Its one of those things that we all know will likely end up badly, but seems impossible to stop. Even if the US passed some strict anti-AI laws, China, Europe, Japan and S. Korea will simply plow forward with it. We would just be left out if we were to try and stop it.
It's like the development of nuclear weapons - there was no stopping it. So far, we survived. Lucky, I guess.
So, I figure if you can't stop it, buy it. Make whatever money you can on it. Then, buy a fortified piece of land, with access to water, and hope tomorrow's bot-cops don't find you.
