It’s cuz we know how terrible we are. And we’re the ones leading it.
Americans don’t have effective social safety nets. They are eliminating a lot of what we do have. I guess we have to pay for Israel’s socialized health care, education, and genocide somehow.
We’re living on pins and needles to fund demons.
A country with a service based economy is allowing tech bros and billionaires to ram a new technology down the throats of the entire population with little to no oversight. People have already lost jobs because of layoffs after their company replaced them with ai. Americans are worried about their livelihood and the dangers the data centers pose to their communities.
“People who live on a volcano are more worried about it erupting than the rest of the world.”
Ironically, the US is also home to one of several supervolcanoes that could destroy civilization
Not to fret!
I am the guardliest guardrail of volcano stopping super stoppers and MAGMA, that’s just a letter away from maga which, you know, is really a guard AGAINST the crazy radical left antifa volcano supporting dummycrats… And that’s why POTATO.
~some orange guy.
I think Americans can clearly see conservative leaders and oligarchs want to use AI to oppress us.
I was excited about AI until American billionaires forcefully shoved it down our throats and every company started drooling and putting AI “features” (bugs) everywhere.
my theory: i feel like the first wave of any product is overhyped and has less accountability to deliver.
"Hoverboards (2015) The “self-balancing scooter” became a global sensation almost overnight, with demand skyrocketing across retail and online markets. Because manufacturers rushed to meet this sudden explosion in demand, quality control was ignored. This led to a wave of defective lithium-ion batteries that frequently overheated and caught fire, resulting in massive recalls and bans in several countries.
The Segway (2001) Before its release, the Segway was shrouded in extreme secrecy and hype, with some predicting it would “change the way cities are built.” When it finally launched, the reality didn’t match the excitement; it was too bulky for sidewalks, too slow for roads, and far more expensive than consumers were willing to pay for its actual utility. "
straight off the top of my head… Blu-ray . everyone said it was better. it triggered the need to have “the latest greatest tech” but now… i dont even know how that would have benefited me, personally. it would have been more rational if they had a more tangible benefit… like a smaller disk.
also gameboy. …however i cant think of any criticism aside from costing alot.
I thought Hoverboards were the second wave of Segways.
The American stock market is disproportionately inflated by AI. Without it, the recession would be evident. When number go up, people keep jobs. When numbers go down, unaffected management lays people off just in case.
Also, no worker protections, boss could decide tomorrow you’ve been replaced with an AI. Whether it works or not is his problem but feeding yourself and family remains yours.
The AI industry is:
- Propping up our entire economy and retirement savings
- removing our ability to buy electronics of any kind
- designed to replace workers without a safety net
- Designed to watch us all and filter our informarion
So, with the fascist government’s help, they’re building a giant pantopticon while taking away our information freedom, while they siphon away whatever wealth we have until we can’t live anymore, under the threat of total and permanent annihilation if we make it fail.
Yeah, they’re turning the whole country into a concentration camp. If they keep power, expect Border controls. Why do you think ICE gets more money than all other agencies?
- Propping up our entire economy and retirement savings
It’s not “propping up the economy”. The stock market is not the economy. If anything, AI is dragging the actual economy down further.
designed to replace workers without a safety net
It’s not really capable of that except in a few tasks. For programmers, a lot of companies have overhired over Covid and have been looking for excuses to downsize without looking bad to investors, especially with the economy in recession. AI is mainly a convenient excuse for that
It’s because we have the worst possible people to steward us though this transition that is being forced on us.
Zero protections for employees paired with the fact most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck while the C suite keeps firing people to pay for their AI adoption. I understand why Americans are concerned.
We have way fewer consumer and worker safeguards, not to mention seemingly unrestricted political ads. All the use of AI to imitate political candidates has been very dystopian.
Most pf the wprld knows it’s pure bullshit
They should be more worried about Super Intelligence.
Don’t feed the AI bro hype
How about Subpar Intelligence?
I wonder how many Americans, while believing they are a sophisticated culture, understand this is a test of their common existential narrative… which is backward and evidence of an inability to scale given modernity
Because we know precisely how psychopathic our political and business leaders are, and they are already openly hostile to the Citizens.
Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has said that he wants to reduce the population to $100 million, about a 70% reduction. They are already looking for ways to eliminate people, they aren’t going to block any vehicle that helps achieve that objective.
Other countries are positive that their nations will use AI to deliberately murder much of their population. We are positive that they will.
Americans have more exposure to AI. The rest of the world will come around.
AI caused layoffs too.
Lots of inconclusive data IMO. Seem cherry picked in a lot of ways. The most interesting bit to me was that a study conducted by Microsoft acknowledges Palestine as a country. Genuinely surprised me.
Lots of inconclusive data IMO.
Yeah… Aggregation makes this kind of useless. Like, there are many reasons why AI could be good or bad, and many dimensions along which you could trust or distrust it. Mashing it all together without asking the “why” you think a think makes it kind of meaningless, especially given that exposure to it and education on how it works are going to be wildly different by region.
“Lets make a study to show the critics of our cool surveilance&slop tool that everything else thinks otherwise.”
