    And you’d rather have literally nothing when the fascists all have them?

    If you don’t participate in an arms race you’re the next person to be subjugated. We know everyone loses in one, but not participating at all is suicidal. You can’t afford to be neutral on a moving train.

        Not the person you are asking, but I wouldn’t. AI is rather an arms race towards who atrophies their brains first by offloading thinking onto AI. The only winning move is not to play, or at least don’t be stupid about using it.

          There’s gonna be a LOT of destruction in the meantime.

          And the most fucked up part of it all, is that, even BEFORE AI, there are all kinds of problems.

          Do you think if we implemented ubi, that it would accelerate the dumbing?

          Atrophy doesn’t matter in war, only capability to harm your opponent.

          In the early modern period in Europe you could argue that the European armies martial arts ability in close quarters combat that had been developed over centuries was atrophying as they relied more on guns. But that doesn’t matter if 50 guys with guns can defeat 5 highly trained knights and those 50 guys are cheaper to find and replace.

          Same with AI, it won’t matter if you have a couple more highly trained hackers and security experts if there up against a swarm of AI agents who have proven very capable of cyber attacks.

          Agents are the guns of cyber warfare. Any idiot can pick them up easily and do a lot of harm.

        Not American. But everything I’ve heard from them is that they’re waiting for the fascists to shoot first.
