Spare me the rehash of marketing hype rhetoric. It's either a white collar tool to avoid doing boring work or great to identify targets on a battlefield. That's it and both are still questionable. This techno-fetishism of "New technology good, ugga-ooga-booga." 99% of the blind evangelists just spew that same slop just because of fomo of making a few extra shekels by proving "I'm a true believer, and so should you by buying my AI course."

Someone who doesn't have access to clean water and stable food will not benefit from this, nor will powers at be that "make it available" will actually improve their lives. It's already apparent, the tech nerds of the late 90s and early 2000s were NOT the good guys. Being good at computers does not make you a good person. The business model for AI makes zero sense when you have real world experience. Without massive, complete social and economic absolute changes, it won't work out. And for those championing that change, what makes you think you'll be the special comrade brought up the ranks to benefit as the truest of believers?

Sorry, but this shit is really starting to rub me the wrong way, especially with the massive bubble investment that's growing around all of it. This wont be good. The housing collapsed sucked. The same pattern is emerging and I'm getting a bad, bad feeling this will make the housing collapse look like nothing due to long term ramifications.

Reality check. UNICEF and the WHO say there are 2 billion people without access to clean drinking water. They have slightly more pressuring issues than trying to log into chatgpt. Only slightly.

The blockchain/bitcoin bros tried the same marketing spin. "Bitcoin will end poverty once we get it into everyone's hands." When that started slipping, NFTs will save us all.

Yeah. Sure. Been there. Done that. Just needs "more investment"... and then more... then more... all because of self reported "growth".

To be fair, a car isn't accessible to 8 billion+ people at any given second. That's the scary part about the internet now. You can't just have a fun little garden and only have to protect the veggies from rabbits. Them gnawing on your lettuce is your biggest issue. Now, you have to protect your veggies from essentially professional armed raiders who either burn your garden to the ground for lolz or a cryptocoin ransom.

In this day and age, like... is anything secure at this point? You say hastily... but even the biggest "walls" get breached, constantly. Just claiming hastily to feel better about your own glass walls is just as bad.
