I think it's the goal for some companies. I'm not sure that it is happening yet. Not for a lack of trying. I mean grok is supposed to be very friendly to Musk agenda of the day, but appear to be uncontrollable in regards to facts vs opinion.
I don't think I do either, IDK. It's not a hill I'm about to die on, I'm hardly even prepared to play yahtzee for this hill.
What I opined to was the invocation of 1984 as soon as something can be used as surveillance. Because people who do this have either never read the book, or they've read the cover when visiting someone, who just happened to have a copy laying casually on their coffee table.
My problem is that spying isn't the main purpose of the surveillance in 1984. The main purpose is to ensure people know they're under surveillance, and make sure that nobody not feel oppressed. And while I dislike AI in everything, I don't believe that AI was introduced to hurt me or most other people.
Then why are they losing money on it while it pollutes inordinately and denies people access to information? AI is basically signal jamming the entire internet, at great expense, with no actual path to profitability. They're certainly not doing it to make money, because as it stands they're all losing money right now. Oppression, in the form of information denial, and regulation of communication, appears to be the primary goal.
