"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Now you have upgraded to a more limited number of rich assholes with even more concentrated power. Oh wait, a couple of decades later they reintroduce capitalism too.
It's unclear that is inevitable, but it does seem to be a common result of State socialism.
In libertarian socialism, hoarding resources will be recognized as an attack on the commons that can be answered with an attack (by the people) on the hoarder.
How in the world is that going to be policed?
In libertarian socialism, the people are the police. There's no States, so no state-organized and state-privileged police force. I could be wrong though, I still need a lot of education around libertarian socialism; I'm very much used to Capitalism.
That makes no sense. How are a bunch of vigilantes going to be accountable to the rest of society?

I haven't internalized all of it yet.
I think this is the most direct answer:
The "bunch of vigilantes" will be accountable to the people because they will be the people. They will act to reject anti-social activities, re-educate people that chose to do anti-social acts (so they have a pro-social understanding), and remediate any harms due anti-social activities.
The police, right now, are the people. The state is the people.
No, police and the State are not the people. They are given authority and privilege that the people don't have, in particular qualified immunity.
