make no mistake. the primary objective of these AI companies is not to benefit society, advance science or human flourishing (as they keep telling us) but to consolidate power where it already is concentrated and control, monitor and surveil each & every move we make www.theverge.com/2024/6/13/24...

They are building the doomsday machine in Dr. Strangelove except they're not even doing it in secret! It's happening in front of the world of news reporters and nobody in power can decide if it's good or bad

One thing I’ve learned from @attackerman.bsky.social is that the intelligence establishment has backed Silicon Valley from its early days because it understood how valuable all our data was going to be for spying and intelligence gathering. This is just the latest example.
