      Yes of course, it is what we are best at. The Torment Nexus was just the fictional fever dream of a deranged madman, until we turned our efforts towards it started building them on every street corner, and now they are just part of everyday life. I heard they got the idea from some fascinating book by a brilliant visionary, titled “Don’t create the Torment Nexus”.

        Kind of? But not really. Maybe? Here’s a wired article on the idea. You be the judge

    What’s the point with this artifial intelligence race anyways? Why is there a sudden need for that after all?

    I understand that AI as a tool can be useful for some tasks, but do we really need to go further than that?

      I think it’s a combination of things. One, they are good at synthesizing huge amounts of data and detecting trends, which is useful for surveillance if you’re not that hung up on being exactly right all the time. Two, they are very energy-costly, so their use drives up the price of energy, which drives up the price of fossil fuels.

      Free labor. Humans are expensive, but robot slaves are comparatively cheap (hypothetically).

      Ultracapitalists have a harder time getting a slave labor force, so robots that can think like people are the next best thing for that purpose.

        And if there is a “free” labor force competing with humans for jobs then humans will be forced to accept lower pay, longer hours, and less benifits for more work.

    The problem is not inherit to AI. The problem is with the people who own the tech and it will much worse if they also own a more efficient version of it. Not that it seems like an immediate threat and I am not even starting to consider the ethical problems with this.
