Whatever they might be able to replace humans for, they can’t do it anywhere as cheaply as a human. So, the results would need to be very valuable. Outside of scientific research, which would still need to be verified and refined by humans, I don’t see a sustainable use for these things. They’re way, way too costly to use as a toy for the masses, that will soon be shut down.

data centers are highly concentrated super computer clusters and no need to have conspiracy spidy senses, they outright said that it is to replace human labor and therefore the cost of building and running them is to replace the money spent on wages.
it wont work tho bcs llms simply cant work human jobs. doesnt stop the oligarchy from believing they can, and destroying our planet in the pursuit of achieving it.

the entire point of work is that a living being has to do it in order to create value (it can exchange) for survival.
a robot has no needs. a machine does not survive. a digital program does not live.
at the beginning of the work preocess, no matter how many layers of tools, devices and machines, layers of management, trade and logistics, is always a human. and that human needs to know all about how those tools, devices and machines work, or rather how to work with them. they have to understand management communications, count trade and logistics into every single action, all of that, for every work process.
and the oligarchy simply is not capable of that. the only thing they have is the management part, but only orders downwards and responses from below. that is all the work experience billionaire ceos have. and no single person, not even hundreds if not thousands, can possibly understand all that is necessary to upkeep the necessities of modern industrial life. only the collective of the working people can.
holy frog kinda drifted into mad agitprop rn ngl

This reply is not pulling any punches, the official line is something about freeing humanity from the drudgery of labour. But you are right, totalitarian grip on a dwindling demoralised population by the few who are too arrogant to see they are on the list too is probably closer to the mark.

Funny how up until now they always talked about the dignity of work, and now that they think they can replace us, labor is drudgery.
