we don’t need opensource AI, we need to destroy AI
You can run AI without causing environmental problems just like you can drive cars without burning fossil fuels and you can have industrial production without creating pollutants.
All of that just cuts into the profits though.
the way the technology is run and built is in itself despicable. It is an abomination.
It’s like people are starting to realize what the “luddites” were saying from the beginning.
This tech is not from the people to the people like the web, it’s from big corpos to fuck you.
You won’t have that tech, you will rent a highly modified one at best, built with the purpose to manipulate you.
Remember: there is a club out there, and you are not part of it.
Yeah, that’s what I really don’t get.
Why would any serious company think it’s a great idea to outsource all your intelligence work to a handfull of US companies, making yourself wholely dependant on their goodwill and the goodwill of the US government?
It’s the same delusion and corruption from a neoliberal corporate-whore political class that led to every country growing dependent on US tech companies, and Chinese manufacturing. They represent corporations; not their constituents.
If they’d all committed to open source and domestic companies for support and infra, the compounding effect of tens of thousands of engineers across governments working on linux and other FLOSS products would have made everything significantly cheaper and more efficient for all of them in a matter of years, compared to paying a foreign tech company for everything in perpetuity… and that’s before you consider the multitude of other risks and vulnerabilities to national security.
