LLMs are not, and will never be, conscious or even remotely human. It is a software product residing on computer hardware developed and owned by large corporate entities. This cynical campaign to “give AI rights” is tech sophistry pushed by dishonest CEOs pumping up their stock price by attempting to imbue their products with authority.

The idea that we should grant rights to software that is carefully engineered to represent the interests of billionaires when we can’t even guarantee rights to the actual people the AI industry is attempting to displace is astoundingly anti-human, and indicative of just how disconnected from society these people are.

I’m not worried, and you can’t make me.

Supermarkets allow their freezers to connect to the internet so that maintenance and monitoring can occur remotely.

1984 or Brave New World — Answer? Both, along with a whole bunch of other existential horrors beyond imagining.

“Everyone I don’t like is a terrorist pedophile!”

Maybe I’m just too honest with Alexa…

Looks more like a rectangular store to me.

Imagine if the guys at the manhattan project were like “there is just NO WAY we’re gonna keep one of these from going off accidentally at some point, it’s INEVITABLE! In fact, ALL of them might go off at once and DESTROY THE WORLD!”

They probably still would have invented it anyways, but just imagine!

At this point it’s pretty apparent that not only do we not need a president, we can still function with one that is actively working to destroy the country.

At this point, the human extinction is an enthusiastically advertised feature and not a bug.

Imagine if this was invested in arresting climate change.

Oh man, maybe people should stop buying these. I bet they totally won’t though.

No, they’re going to use it to kill us all. That’s the point.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is updating vehicle standards to make it easier and faster for driverless cars to deploy on public roads. It’s currently tweaking eight rules, including those requiring car parts that driverless cars don’t really need: brake pedals, windshield wipers, and rearview mirrors. But for now, years-old standards remain in place.

Beyond private companies using tax dollars to manage their special regulatory environment, privatize and monetize public roads, and test their unfinished and unregulated products on citizens, I expect these to be fully-equipped roving surveillance and oppression machines:

• Each car can be covertly equipped with a suite of LPR or facial recognition cameras, sensors, and signals intelligence equipment.

• Autonomous cars can patrol and surveil large areas to gather intelligence while acting as innocuous taxis.

• Journalists, brown people, or pregnant woman making the mistake of entering one of these could simply be recognized and driven to a “detention” center for arrest.

• Vehicles can autonomously work in tandem to hunt down and assault other vehicles, or serve as transport for domestic military operations, or blockade roads.

• Service can be selectively denied to certain areas or social groups to curtail and manage movement during protests or events.

I mean, just use your imagination as to how an authoritarian federal government could collude with a Fascist tech CEO to leverage a large autonomous robo-taxi fleet set upon the population:

As long as you’re not a Crown of Thrones starfish, you should be fine.

Cone Snails are the venomous type of sea snail in the genus Conidae, with a radular tooth that injects neurotoxic venom. Conch snails are from Strombidae and are not poisonous, being primarily herbivorous.

However, the Giant Triton Conch snail is an exception and is an active predator that eats starfish and other marine invertebrates.

I would expect the Marxist-Leninist recommendation would be for such an institution to be founded by the state, and owned by the workers that created it. Instead, this would be a capitalist government using taxes on what little wealth the workers in a capitalist system have to sustain a failing business created by capital.

Why would an ML user support a capitalist bailout? Unless of course… the capitalism is coming from inside the Marxist-Leninist house! Ahhhhhhh!!

This is otherwise known as a TAXPAYER FUNDED BAILOUT. Socialize the loss, privatize the gain.

Let them burn in the fire they set.

Wow, Garfield has some rockin’ knockers. No wonder Jon never married.

Their fancy new AI can go rogue, escape containment, and hack other companies. But surely, this advanced technology can’t be applied moderate Facebook ads!

Really shows you where the focus is.

I’m sure the FBI will be dispatching a team of experts to immediately investigate the servers at Meta, seize and analyze the offending content, and rescue the children being abused.

How about another congressional inquiry with Zuck’s robot doppelgänger?

Or, maybe the latest rogue Meta AI could be used to regulate Facebook advertising content instead of boosting stock price.

Mandate that websites support ad-blocking? Stop using Facebook?

What am I talking about? None of that will happen of course, that would be insane! Let’s just continue on as if everything is normal, because that’s what this is now. This is what’s normal in a world with the Meta corporation.
