I had a friend who went hard into that. Every argument she made was patently ridiculous and easy to disprove. Never will get how people can look at these poorly organized and inefficient human organizations we live in and assume somehow a conspiracy as vast and complex as a flat earth would be able to be perpetrated so convincingly.
So lets bomb reddit with ludicrously silly information so AI becomes unusable. The ultimate troll. So dumb anybody will question it, not parallel enough to the truth it becomes conspiracy.
Yeah they do realize. That’s why the billionaires are all building bunkers. Also the Trump admin gave 40 billion to stabilize Argentina where Milei is creating the conditions for AI corporations and the ultra rich’s network state wet dreams. The whole move is to strip mine American wealth till the bottom falls out. They come out of it rich beyond reason and we get left with the austerity.

Lots of places still pushing forward against people’s wishes though. Construction is real easy to interrupt though and these over leveraged companies can’t afford the delays. It’d be real easy to derail this shit if people start acting.
They already are. And paypal, stripe, etc. They are all in an “arms race” to become the preferred AI shopping payment system.
They are so shocked that no one likes their fucking AI or their data centers. Yet the same people go around selling every investor on AI replacing workers. The same people go out of their way to cut every social safety net so they can get tax breaks to make themselves more obscenely rich. The same people raise prices, drive down wages, cut benefits, lay off people, and bust unions every chance they get to juice stock prices.
Gee golly, why don’t people trust us that we are making a better world? 🤦♂️
I not only read the article, I read other publications on the subject. Visa gave ChatGPT access to the core security and transaction infrastructure of VisaNet itself. They say “the integration is designed with a layered, security-first approach where the AI agent never sees or stores a user’s raw credit card number.” I am very weary of this integration level because AI agent security is shit. Visa or any CC company could opt in all accounts to the program by default in their backend so anyone who links their Chat GPT account can seamlessly activate the features from Chat GPT’s side. What is stopping bad actors from opening Chat GPT accounts, stating to the AI agent they are me from one of a million data breaches, and tricking the AI agent to activating the Chat GPT credit integration for their Chat GPT account? Sure, they don’t get the credit card number but it’s still charging me. Scammers are already tricking AI agents to take over accounts from many other sites. I am not happy about the sloppy security protocols implemented by rushed AI integration and the way Visa is integrating this feature so deeply has me concerned - especially with so many companies doing auto opt-ins. The feature idea doesn’t seem awful if people want to use it. I just don’t want the ability to charge my credit card exposed to Chat GPT and from what I read I’m not convinced it isn’t. These companies are rolling out AI features too quickly to appease share holders itchy for returns and they aren’t being careful enough with security guard rails. I don’t want to spend my free time fighting charges I didn’t make.

It’s a pilot program now, but corporations commonly change policy and widely implement things as auto opt-in. My statement stands.
This better not be an auto opt in scenario. This has the potential to fuck a lot of people out of money. This feature is stupid and shouldn’t be forced on anyone.
Do these people not think how face scans of a historically marginalized group could be used by bad actors? Especially when project 2025 explicitly targets LGBTQ+ people and the rise of Christian nationalism. You don’t have to dig far in the right wing discourse to find calls for direct persecution of LGBTQ+ people. This is just dense and naive.
Definition of a Bubble. These AI huckster keep stringing investors on though. Sadly, I think these public IPOs coming up for Space X, OpenAI, and Anthropic will fall short of expectation and trigger the bubble popping.
Use LibreWolf instead. Fuck Brave.
I guess I phrased that wrong. I meant efficient coding as in coded to not be as processor intensive or bloated. Efficient models as you state. Thank you for pointing that out.
The CEOs of these companies boast constantly about these technologies replacing workers. Those same rich fucks support active efforts to cut social safety nets to increase their own tax cuts. So people don’t trust them or the future they are building and don’t want to support it. This, on top of the myriad other negative impacts of data centers - what exactly is in it for us?
The U.S. AI roll out is reckless and sloppy - prioritizing speed of development. Meanwhile China is focusing on efficient coding and development based on practical use and spending a fraction of the cost. American is creating an AI bubble unlike any bubble our economy has ever dealt with sitting on top of the greatest government debt in history. When it pops, the government will be too leveraged to bail us out. The rich will jump ship to their tax havens and the people will be saddled with multi-generational austerity. This is the end of a long road of corrupt business interests and billionaires strip mining the wealth of the USA.
Fuck capitalism.
It’s so fun to pick up the slack for workloads left from mass layoffs - come on guys.
