In my opinion they are building the infrastructure for a fully automated surveillance society, for automated media manipulation, and to remove humans out of the kill chain in the military, while dismantling the rest of what remains of the middle class. We are going straight into high-tech dark ages / feudalism. Shadowrun and Cyberpunk, here we come. (Edit: the only thing i am not sure about here is if we will have corporations with more power than nation states, or nation states having absolute control over corporations and using them in proxy wars. Time will tell.)
When i think of this future, the only picture my mind can produce is Black Mirror - Metalhead.
Edit: If used for these tasks, it’s also not important if inference is something you can make money with. OpenAI, Anthropic and the Neoclouds are a grave for billions of dollars - but that doesn’t matter if the rewards are non-monetary.
Broadly agree, but I think that there is about a 1% chance of working out with the billionaires in control. They will just get their assets expropriated when a war occurs, or the AI will just take over once given the tools.
That’s assuming they clear several hurdles and their little nightmare system works out to be the dream they want for them.
It won’t. It’ll be a dystopian nightmare for them too.
They always fuck up their goals and only end up closer by the sheer inertia and risk insulation that controlling our economic output gives them.
Then some bright and talented person who dreams of doing the right thing provides the missing links in their machinations and they either steal or buy them.
They made sure that wouldn’t happen this time by preemptively trying to rob all of the brightness until those who can won’t give them anymore, and those who will are slowly being cognitively robbed of the capability itself.
The AI taking over is both (as currently deployed) impossible and probably amongst the best outcomes, compared to the deathly wave of fucking ineptitude these chuds are unleashing and will continue to unleash.
The billionaires are the ones footing the bill and thinking they will be the “new gods” in their restructured society. In reality, nation states will use this technology to make sure that they can’t be touched, regardless of how brutal and inhumane their regime is.
In some way, the billionaires are just some stooges getting scammed into developing the chains that will bind us all.

Russia with its limited AI development seems to already have deployed fully automated killing machines (Powered by NVidias Jetson Orin module). The US aim for the same, and everyone else who doesn’t want to become a vassal state will have to follow suite.

Fully automated killing machines?
I can see the future.

1% is generous, in my opinion.
