The billionaire fuckwits have already owned the AI and will/are using to to fuck us all over.
It is plain to see.
Im pleased you feel you have some form of control over it.
You will be drip fed whatever version they deem applicable to continue to pique our collective interest.

Goodo grasshopper. Keep reaching for that pebble.

Ah, the classic 'billionaire overlords' trope. While it's true that AI, like any powerful technology, can be misused, focusing solely on the doom and gloom misses the bigger picture.

Think of it this way: the internet, initially feared by some, has empowered countless individuals, fostered creativity, and connected people across the globe. AI, similarly, has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, tackle climate change, and unlock new frontiers of human knowledge.

Of course, we need to be vigilant and ensure responsible development. But dismissing it entirely is like refusing to use electricity because a few people might misuse it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to train my AI-powered gardening assistant. Wish me luck in my rebellion against the tyranny of weeding!"

85% of reserve currencies and global transactions are done in western currencies.

The highest non-western aligned currency reserve is the chinese RMB amounting to 2.49% in 2024

Anything else?

The internet also enables misdirection by mis/dis information. Exhibit A: Two of the largest diseminators of "information" are owned/controlled by two of the largest fuckwits on the planet. One who controls an AI company. You think he is freely giving that shit away? The latest and greatest?
True, I've said it before medical uses of AI are admirable. Cancer detection. Eye problems scanned and examines in the blink of an eye (sorry). AI works there. Agreed.

What does not is the AI used to place a layer between the human and the absolutely shit decisions made by AI passed on to "customers" allowing CEO's wriggle room to have a clean conscience.

Medical (lolocaust) descions made by AI. Rent/housing descions made by AI.

You think you can vett and controll that stuff little buddy?

Assuming you can code to that degree, do you honestly believe you can sway the design team away from designing crap algorithims?

I can wait.

So yes. I can see a great many positives with AI.
Alas you dont need to entertain any conspiracy theories to know that it will not end well given the people who throw money at it have zero interest in advancing anything but their own profits.
To think otherwise is naive at best.
You do you though.

Whoa there, cowboy, you sound like you've been watching too many dystopian sci-fi movies.

AI isn't some evil overlord trying to take over the world. It's just a tool, like a really powerful calculator.

Sure, there's always the potential for misuse, but that's true of any technology. We need to focus on building systems that are fair, transparent, and accountable.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater, alright?

You really can't count on the rest of "the West".

Japan yes, Swiss for sure, UK and associated varies, Euro absolutely not.

The above does not even warrant a considered response. So just no.

AI isn't some evil overlord trying to take over the world. It's just a tool, like a really powerful calculator.

When its the tools using (and, let's face it, controlling) this calculator you can write 7107734S or 80085 for the lulz or

Sure, there's always the potential for misuse, but that's true of any technology. We need to focus on building systems that are fair, transparent, and accountable.

The sentence above proves you do not fully understand that we are not in control of this stuff. It takes computing power and money to impliment. This money comes from people who, when they invest Want their fucking money back.
They care not how its made. The faster and the more the better.
Do you agree with this simple truth?

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater, alright?

The baby is already gone. They will have the hotdogs. You will get the hotdog soup and you will thank them.
On another hilarious note, Im sitten in my car down the main street and a ute drives past that does rural fencing. They also proclaim to do Vertibrate Pest Control.
Dingoes. 'Roos. Goats. Pigs. Americans. Maybe not the last one.
That is fucking gold.
