Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This really says it all. "AI" as currently constituted in LLM form is really about control: VCs/billionaires/govts want to control information, they want us locked into the tools they control and thereby control what we see, do, and think of as possible.
This is why bringing up specific functions of 'AI tools' in the debate is usually meaningless.
The people speaking for AI aren't really speaking for any use of tools, rather they are endorsing a general vision of a future based on growth and control. Their ideology cannot be debunked by facts.

My current position is that "AI does not exist."
I mean that the vision of a general artificial intelligence functions primarily as an ideological position which organises the attitude of capital and its associated politicians.

Dell has been on this beat since the very beginning and points out a thing often missed: the cost to all of us for Amazon’s loss prevention strategy is a nationwide surveillance network.
Ring is first and foremost a scheme to charge Amazon customers to deter crime that costs Amazon (not the customers themselves) billions annually in refunds, returns, double shipping, and customer service overhead.

The threats from AI are the same as the threats from capitalism, namely that unaccountable owners and billionaires will use it to erode labor rights and flood the zone with propaganda, not that somehow ChatGPT will become self-aware or replace all white collar jobs in the next 18 months. Be real
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
