So people should get free referrals to their site from google? Is that a right now?

My grievance isn’t so much with current household models with PCs sitting there running off solar (that’s starting to get very bloody specific though).

It’s actually my setup.

There was no consent, limited renumeration to individuals for using their work.

When I learn skills using books from the library, am I morally obligated to pay the authors a cut of my future earnings?

Here’s the thing, datacenters could be powersipping butterflies if they built solar farms and ground source heat pumps when they build out the data centers. But the Epstein class are too cheap, greedy and selfish to do that without being forced to. They are accustomed to having the government, directly or indirectly, lower their costs and guarantee them profits.

AI effectively raped and pillaged all human information

Copying information is not theft. Learning from copied information is not theft.

Theft is when you take something and deprive the owner of what you took. If I make a copy of your car, I am not stealing your car, you still have it and can drive it, wreck it, whatever.

These guys have read Sci-Fi where humans are governed by techno-feudalistic corporations and instead of seeing that as a cautionary tale, saw it as a roadmap.

Why use AI to read emails?

If you’ve had the same email address for the last thirty years, like me, you get a LOT of email. An email assistant is great.

Also, with proper prompting and a proper setup, email is not a vector for phishing emails because you’re not allowing your agent to click on links and enter in credentials(except for entering in the credentials for your email).

Also if you do any sort of AI email sending, you should have three different LLMs look it over before sending out and they must all be in agreement.

I’m terrified by the parallels between today and the rise of fascism in the early 20th century.

Many of these billionaires are hoping or trying to dismantle democracy and create some sort of techno feudalism where corporations rule. What’s disturbing is that many of these men have read sci fi where such techno feudalism is the norm and they seemed to have missed that such societies were never portrayed as being ideal or even good, they are always dystopic.
