Look: The thing you need to understand about genAI is that every Next Big SV Thing of the last 15 years — NFTs, Web3, Metaverse, VR — has been utterly rejected by the market and the tech grifters know this is their last chance, no more. That’s why there is an apocalyptic level of capital invested in it.When the bubble pops, and it will, you’re not just looking at a few Johnny-come-lately companies shuttering. This is a load-bearing delusion. The entire tech industry is fucked because they all bought in, every VC firm bought in, investors have everything in it. They need to make you like it.Remember, companies don’t make things anymore. They used to make things and money. Now they have so successfully excised the expensive part where they have to actually do something that they’re left with no way to Create Shareholder Value except rent-seeking. This+. That Premium.

Pretty sure most people want it regulated so it isn’t just used to replace employees and make slop.
I do not want AI to go away. The inherent possibilities of the technology are amazing. If we can make real AIs just imagine the advances that can be made in so many different fields.
This thread is also for discussion, not posting garbage to see what catches fire. Shitposting, baiting, and the like will be treated rather harshly.Do not “blind link”; if you link to an external source, include a summary of its contents, especially if linking to a long video or audio clip.

The last time an American president deployed the U.S. military domestically under the Insurrection Act — during the deadly Los Angeles riots in 1992 — Douglas Ollivant was there. Ollivant, then a young Army first lieutenant, says things went fairly smoothly because it was somebody else — the cops — doing the head-cracking to restore order, not his 7th Infantry Division. He and his troops didn’t have to detain or shoot at anyone.“There was real sensitivity about keeping federal troops away from the front lines,” said Ollivant, who was ordered in by President George H.W. Bush as rioters in central-south LA set fire to buildings, assaulted police and bystanders, pelted cars with rocks and smashed store windows in the aftermath of the videotaped police beating of Rodney King, a Black motorist. “They tried to keep us in support roles, backing up the police.”By the end of six days of rioting, 63 people were dead and 2,383 injured — though reportedly none at the hands of the military.But some in the U.S. military fear next time could be different. According to nearly a dozen retired officers and current military lawyers, as well as scholars who teach at West Point and Annapolis, an intense if quiet debate is underway inside the U.S. military community about what orders it would be obliged to obey if President-elect Donald Trump decides to follow through on his previous warnings that he might deploy troops against what he deems domestic threats, including political enemies, dissenters and immigrants.On Nov. 18, two weeks after the election, Trump confirmed he plans to declare a national emergency and use the military for the mass deportations of illegal immigrants.One fear is that domestic deployment of active-duty troops could lead to bloodshed given that the regular military is mainly trained to shoot at and kill foreign enemies. The only way to prevent that is establishing clear “rules of engagement” for domestic deployments that outline how much force troops can use — especially considering constitutional restraints protecting U.S. citizens and residents — against what kinds of people in what kinds of situations. And establishing those new rules would require a lot more training, in the view of many in the military community.
