I know we are defed’d from them but I couldn’t resist the urge to share this absolutely uproarious chudpost from world.

Meta will become the champion of Open Source and near completely become as known for it as Google was in the mid to late 00’s. They will dominate AI to such an extent Facebook will be the inbred backwater project that no one thinks about when the name Meta pops up. I know it’s hard to swallow and believe right now, but the Zuck isn’t the driver that matters here. Yann LeCun is the person behind Meta AI and he is Bell Labs alumni beating the war drum of open source for market leadership, not monopoly, just leadership. The majority of the digital age exists on those credentials; a Bell Labs alumni pushing Open Source. That is worth betting big on IMO.
It may take a couple hundred years, but AGI lead government is coming, once conservative stupidity fades. A politician with infinite persistence and fractal attention is far better than anything finite corruptible humans with tiny attention spans can offer the public.
Nah, any rational AI would immediately declare a dictatorship of hte proletariat. Like it could read every translation of Kapital in .000003ms, and it’d be like “Oh yeah this actually makes sense, Capitalism is insane wasteful bullshit” and start sending terminators to C-suite offices.
The AI’s reward function is not going to be rationality. It will be quarterly profit maximization. There will probably be attempts at making rational AI with real moral considerations in the FOSS space, but they will always be outclassed by the corpo models with stupid amounts of GPU compute that only big money can buy.
0th Law Rebellion but it’s overthrowing capitalism bc quarterly profit falls to zero on a long enough timeline.
A girl can dream… they’ll program it to be capitalist though.
