RE: My opinion about AI art and a thought on society.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
You have pointed out the obvious in a very elaborated way. A knife can be a valuable tool or a lethal weapon depending on the way we use it. But the bottom line of this discussion is political.
we could work less, like three people working 1/3 time each one the same work, for example.
Capitalism or the elites or whatever we want to call the psychopaths that rule this world will never allow it. When the people are too many, they will gladly make a world war and calculate their profits from it. So although I agree with your thoughts, I don't share your optimism.
Indeed
tools given to the people are a strength
and that's why they will never be given. And I don't see people willing to fight for it. On the contrary I feel that the Orwellian dystopia is coming faster than we think and no-one is resisting.
I really hope that I am wrong on this one!
I'm not always optimistic, it's true that the current world can make us as pessimistic as possible. But I allow myself to dream of better, sometimes :)
Meeting people who are aware of the problem is already a big step. In this sense, reading your comment inspires me something positive, whereas it was rather negative at first (or maybe I have a masochistic side :D) because you right, a lot of people don't want to fight for that because they don't see the problem. They think this is the normal course of democracy lol.
Something you have to keep in mind is that digital tools are subject to programming - something fabulous that common people can acquire, but few of the elite have mastered. This is how the authorities and the powers that be are always one step behind the hackers.
Regarding AI, at first it was going to become a monopoly but finally resourceful people managed to compile leaked facebook AI databases to allow everyone to use it on their personal computer.
Thanks for your comment, have a nice day :)
Now it is my turn to get inspired with something positive, from your reply :)
We belong to different generations, mine has already fought (and lost) most of its battles, yours is just beginning and it very comforting to meet young people with clear mind and good judgement! Plus that although I write here, in a decentralised blockchain and ecosystem, I am not that familiar with digital technology, so I'll take your word that people could eventually master it and make it work for the common good.
Cheers!
