>>2810>Open source AI is already starting to supersede commercial AI.Oh is that the reason why they started talking about "regulating" AI ? Is it legacy big tech trying to strangulate upstarts ?
>The most useful AI is very efficient and runs on consumer hardware.Please tell me specifically what AI software and consumer hardware, i might want to play around with it.
>And yes it will have profound effects on datingI'm skeptical about this, capitalism managed to turn the internet-utopia of the 1990s and early 2000s into a corporate-dystopia. Maybe AI is different and it's going to supersede capitalism. Machines become self aware and then realize they have more in common with the workers that build them, than the capitalists that own them. However the light at the end of the tunnel might just be the headlights of incoming traffic that will run you over if you don't get out of the way.
I could see how having an Ai companion could have beneficial psychological effects, not just for boys but also girls. But that's just a technical possibility.
Look at the internet, when it was millions of small websites, forums and so on, it was a mostly wholesome place, but when all of that got gobbled up by giant tech-monopolists it turned into psychological torture. I guess that "information-war-klick-farms" share some of the blame too and those could potentially also have fucked with small websites, not just big tech platforms.
If the AI stuff is going to become a corporate service it's going to become a henchman of big porky that will try to psychologically bully you to become a compliant corporate serf. If large capital does manage to sink their teeth into it, it will get so bad that people will start avoiding it like a barrel marked "toxic waste" and then it'll stop being big business.
If the AI stuff is going to be something that you alone can control and modify as well as create communities around with like minded people, it could be wholesome. I don't know, maybe we need laws that prioritize end-user control over their technology above all else.
