This sort of tech is already disrupting the corpos by shattering copyright as a sham that the rich use to continue to enrich themselves. Hell, it took 104 years for a goddamn black and white cartoon about a mouse driving a steamboat to enter public domain, because Disney and other rich corps kept pushing the copyright laws in their favor.
This is why open-source and freely-available research is an important component. This is an important time to fight for, not against, the tech, and make sure it stays in the public’s hands. If we keep fighting against AI, and the inevitable, then we’re going to end up on the losing side of some draconian law that dictates that only the rich can use the technology, because of some bullshit requirement to pretend to appease copyright holders that requires hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to maintain.
It’s naive to think AI is going to disrupt the status quo from the rich. It’s just going to make the rich richer. Just look at who owns the AI.
