  People dont care. When the man being thrown billions and asking for trillions is saying he wants to bring back company scrip, thats gonna piss people off. And it should.

    And Flock is building a surveillance state by using cameras, do people get pissed of at concept of cameras? No so why is AI special?

    Yes people should get pissed off, at the billionaires, at the government, but why at the tech itself?

      Because of all the other stuff connected to “AI” that pisses people off. Deepfakes, slop, interview algorithms, threats to livelihood, big data mass surveillance, autonomous weapons used for human rights violations, …

      You can try to convince people not to hate the technology itself, but you’d be putting the cart before the horse. We need to deal with the cause of the problem first.

      Nobody said cameras were going to take all your jobs and then acted upon it. Seems not comparable.

        Ah the luddite argument.

        I’m quite happy AI is taking my job, now all I have to do is supervise a bunch of AI agents who do the work for me while I can do things I actually enjoy doing.

        And my boss likes it too because things that used to take an day now take at max an hour.

      Uh people DO get pissed off at cameras, or at least they should.

      It’s not so bad when you have a camera system that’s entirely local and the footage never leaves the building, and the only way to access it is to go into the building and ask the security person for it. That kind of access generally doesn’t happen without an actual reason.

      But if it’s networked and uploads everything to The Cloud™ so the advertisers or the government or whoever can do facial recognition on it and track everybody’s movements… yeah, no. Yeah, no. *shudders*

  Unfortunately, big tech soured the entire field. Your fight is with them, not with regular people having imperfect yet understandable human reactions to that.

      Yeah, having people’s livelihoods threatened tends to get them a little upset.
