We have a duty to be skeptical of the rise of artificial intelligence. While AI has the potential to offer some benefits, we must also be mindful of its potential negative impacts. AI is primarily developed by profit-driven corporations and governments, which means it's likely to be used to further their own interests, rather than benefiting society as a whole. Additionally, AI has the potential to automate many jobs, leading to widespread unemployment and entrenching the wealth gap. Finally, as AI becomes more sophisticated, it could threaten our privacy and autonomy, leading to unprecedented levels of surveillance and control by those in power. As anarchists, we must carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of AI, and work towards ensuring its development and implementation prioritizes the common good and respects individual liberties.

The finishing touch: this entire post was written by AI. I just thought it'd be fun after seeing the comments on that other post.

I was just going to say this sounds like it was written by chatgpt!

This is the absurd and liberal view, imo. The reality is that high-tech is first and foremost absorbed and driven by securitisation.

Practically, the AI that's been made available to us seems a very purposeful release of limited technology as part of PR for AI, towards normalising it. It's fun playing with text-to-image and talking with a machine.

In all likelihood, the groups that have made these AI have far better AI that they do not make public, and that are bound up in the security industry. A such, we can imagine that there are unimaginable ways we might be fucked, even in the next few years.

To an extent we will be able to fight tech with tech, but I think it looks completely different to the above.

government agencies probably have the most capable AIs. And they actively use it for mass surveillance, I don’t think much has changed in the US since Snowden made the broad public aware, do you? ^^

warfare is a whole other story, considering what automated weaponry they have and considering what’s made public is usually already “the old stuff”.

The post rather made me sleepy... so yes, I should be more wary.
