God save us from ourselves and AI!

Was watching a bunch of video talks with Leonard Susskind’s name and voice on them. They seemed like very convincing imitations. However, it finally dawned on me that they’re all AI generated. Now I don’t know if I was misinformed or not?

Would Susskind agree with the information being communicated in his name? Not being a physicist, I can’t tell. But it makes me so angry what our society is. AI is nothing more than an easy way to generate ad revenue on YouTube. And it doesn’t seem to matter if the content is accurate or not.

I realize that everyone needs money in order to live and that there are many people in this world who need to find ways of generating money, but creating fraud is just not the right way to go.

Capitalism will kill us all if there’s a profit to be made in it by some individual out there.

Gary Childress:

Capitalism will kill us all if there’s a profit to be made in it by some individual out there.

K: capitalism is killing us as long as there is a profit to be made…
and will continue to kill us into the future…

There fixed it for you, for those who support capitalism are simply supporting
the machine that is out to kill them…

Totally. AI should not be used for this at all. I’ve fallen into this trap as well, and it’s infuriating, I’m getting sick of being bullshitted by AI online. There are too many lazy money grubbers using it for this purpose.

Youtube should have very clear labelling under a video if it includes AI content. Sometimes you can find out by expanding the description, but it appears to be optional whether to disclose that info.

It is the nature of capitalism.

Capitalism is one of a thousand examples of why humans will kill each other because they get something out of it.

Anything that incentivizes murder for profit is bad, including capitalism and probably every other economic or political system out there. These systems always end up being run by evil people. It would be nice if we could figure out a way to prevent that from happening.

The future prospects of economic capitalism, automation, and artificial intelligence is a huge disaster in the making.

Positions of power are very tempting to corrupt people, since they provide fertile grounds in which to exercise their corruption. A place with no positions of power devolves into a place with positions of power in moments. There’s no way out
