   They say AI will not take jobs but will help artists. Indian filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) abandons human musicians for AI-generated music https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/19/indian-filmmaker-ram-gopal-varma-abandons-human-musicians-for-ai-generated-music/ RGV is a big deal in indian cinema. This is start of disaster. Countries like India shouldn't be using AI at all. The unemployment rate is exceptionally high compared to Western nations. Despite the $3.95 trillion GDP size, 99% don't get anything out of this massive economy. The top 1% controls and benefits the most.

     These wealthy companies and billionaires like Bill Gates, Sam Altman, and tech bros are going to destroy so much just to have more money. Go solve complex problems like cancer and leave writing music, art, books, comics, and stuff like that to humans.

     I doubt that movie ticket prices will decrease. If anything, they will likely increase every few years. Who is benefiting from this situation? Building massive data centers is consuming a lot of electricity and contributing to climate change for AI. Furthermore, it seems that every possible job is being automated, and this won't lead to a better outcome in the end.

     @nixCraft sadly, these companies have parasites known as shareholders who demand increasing profits from one quarter to the next. At one time, these shareholders gave life to these companies, but instead of allowing them to die naturally, they turn them into eternal vampires that must suck the life blood out of the living so they can live on in perpetuity.

     I know nobody will listen to me, and some followers might boost it. We are in the minority. At last, when we go to /dev/null, we will know we weren't responsible for massive job loss, taking away someone's income or health insurance, or making someone homeless. And how are humans supposed to adapt to this tech when they simply don't want humans? What is the backup plan for the rest of humanity, or 99% of the population?

     @Kierkegaanks i can’t believe this. They think they can avoid death by hiding in their private underground bunker 😂

     Too bad it’s not reliable enough to be left unsupervised by businesses

     On a related note, EU leaders are tightening their grip on AI. They are not allowing Apple, Google, Facebook, and others to do as they wish. So, Mark Zuke has released a new website called EU Needs AI. 😂 https://euneedsai.com

     @nixCraft I'm concerned about the use of AI to manipulate people at the OS level. It's interesting you mention Zuke's website because my partner and I have witnessed, during the lockdown, that the curated feed of Facebook was showing us contents following the cycle of abuse – honeymoon phase, tension building, acute violence.
     
     Zuke was using AI to hurt people before OpenAI was a thing.

     @nixCraft what is really needed is actual intelligence in our addicted and overstimulated population.

     @nixCraft Meta isn't the only one; Apple also is trying to rally consumers against EU's regulations for their agenda.
     These companies have the resources to build solutions under these regulations, they just don't want to because the other outcome is more profitable.

     @nixCraft Isn’t that what Bill Gates is trying to do?
