It’s a masterclass in externalities: local communities face the consequences of the resource consumption by the data centers.
Job loss: were all told the “knowledge market” is where you deserve a good salary. AI threatens a lot of that work. Blue collar factory work will go as soon as AI can be properly integrated with nimble robotics that aren’t quite there yet. With how disgusting our society is (in the US) there will be no consideration for the people who can no longer find work.
Wealth built on theft and gambling: people like Altman become fabulously wealthy with a system that makes 0 profit and has been built off of the stolen works of millions of people.
Capacity to manipulate: we’ve had enough trouble with bad faith actors on the Internet with real people. Now we’re going to have an endless army of “intelligent” actors that will be weaponized against populations worldwide to secure the position of the ultra wealthy over all of our governments.
I didn’t before much, but now I REALLY don’t have a positive outlook on our future because of this…

I think the job loss part is a capitalism problem, not just an AI problem.
If we automate work, the people should get the benefits of the automation, they shouldn’t have to be worried that they won’t have a job.
Yet AI in the LLMs sucks dick, costs us way too much in global warming, and provides very little concrete value.
We need a revolution yesterday.
