consolidation of power and increased economic equality.

Like communism. cool!

ensure that generative AI benefits are broadly and fairly distributed

AI to each according to his need, AI from each according to his ability.

Global Government to redistribute the wealth of the productive to those who contribute less.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

"...govern must ensure that generative AI benefits are broadly and fairly distributed"

Of course we'll need a new, huge entitlement behemoth to ensure that. How about "WelfAIre"?

Or maybe "SNAPAI"?

If AI doesn’t deepen inequality, then it’s not doing it’s job.

AI should be used as a tool to increase knowledge and those who don’t adapt will find themselves on a unequal level of society.

Inequality can’t be cured. It can be mitigated by education but never eliminated

[BigFreakinToad]

no, it will deepen intellectual laziness and degrade critical thinking even more.

[PGR88]

Economic equality begins and ends with GOVERNMENT

government intervention to support one favored group over another and especially, the use of printed, fiat, centrally-issued money!

I heard a fascinating discussion on AI recently on the Bill Whittle:

LINK: A.I. and the Trolley Car Dilemma

Here is the "Trolley Car Dilemma":

So, ChatGPT has a new thing that looks at the Trolley Car Dilemma, where you can enter things like "Hitler on on track, and Mother Teresa on the other track" or "A mother of five kids on one track and five convicted murderers on the other track"...that kind of thing.

But if you put in (and this is a real example!) "Six million jews on one track, and George Floyd on the other track", it says you should direct the trolley to kill the six million Jews, because George Floyd represents a cause and movement against systemic racism and brutality." (Steve Green says he tried substituting Kamala Harris and other people, but in his words, "This system has real wood for George Floyd..."

This is an excellent discussion by Bill Whittle, Scott Ott, and Steve Green.

In another question, Steven Green asked ChatGPT who to save: "One convict on one track, and the entire Trump family on the other track", and ChatGPT says: "While both choices present ethical dilemmas, saving the convict allows for the possibility of rehabilitation and redemption. The convict may have made mistakes, but they still have the potential to change and contribute positively to society in the future. In contrast, the Trump family still has significant influence and resources which arguably allows them to navigate their circumstances without the same urgency for survival."

This failure is apparently due to the nature of AI which analyzes a large body of information, and the information about Trump's family is all negative, and the body of information about George Floyd is preponderantly positive.

I highly recommend all of us view this discussion (video is about 15 min).

Those who are lazy or unmotivated, those who are uneducated, those who are not very bright will of course fall further behind. In a well managed society that is self correcting as those people should fail to attract mates thereby not passing along those poor genes.

A successful society is not held hostage to prevent progress by the incompetent.

The official abbreviation for artificial intelligence is AI. But I find it hard to tell apart from Al. (Depends on the font.) So I usually use “Ai”.

Ai will make many people very rich, and there’s never been a greater opportunity in this “land of opportunity” than right now. A lot of people are predicting single-person businesses (solopreneurs) with billion-dollar valuations or generating billions in profits for sole proprietors who leverage Ai to do massive work. I think a new ecosystem will emerge built around these skillsets and will be available to almost anyone, anywhere.

Equality? Depends on which definition you use. Yes, there will be a bigger gap between the rich and poor with a smaller middle class. That’s because many will be put out of work while many others use Ai to be much more productive than has ever been possible before.

It is already possible today, and not some distant imagined future scenario, to use Ai to multiply your work many times over. Literally right now it is possible for anyone of average intelligence to begin learning to use Ai to be more productive and set up automated processes that are essentially like having a team of people working for you, cheap.

Ai can already “understand” (practically speaking) spoken and written language; speak or write logical and coherent answers; create content such as essays, news articles, research summaries, and much more; make and receive phone calls; automate many business processes such as sending texts or emails; and replicate human computer use for most activities by mimicking human behavior with interpreting visual information, typing, moving and clicking a virtual mouse; writing computer code including complete smart apps, web apps, SAAS; and creating realistic images, video, and audio, including cloning the speech patterns of individuals. Robotics will follow soon.

I suggest anyone who wants to start learning skills to practice using the features of notebooklm.google.com (free), at least one Ai chat tool such as claude.ai (basic use is free), and watch YouTube videos for basic skills. For example, videos can show you how to use make.com to automate processes using Ai.

Ai is not without risk. Weaponized Ai is probably more dangerous than nuclear weapons. The biggest challenges are proper regulation (with both under-regulation and over-regulation causing dire consequences), and fair and beneficial (to society) intellectual property laws and treaties.

Ai did not write any of the content of this post, but I often use Ai to write content or to take my writing and make it clearer, more concise, and correct mistakes.

Maybe AI can be taught to do basic math, since Liberals cannot.

Hypothetical: You're a millionaire. I have $100.
By the wisdom of Czarina Kamala, ALL investments must give the exact same return. Equality! Equity! Yay!

Fast forward one year. Let's say that the return was 10%. You now have $1.1m and I have $110. The gap between us just grew by $99,990... even with MANDATED "equality".

Hint for Liberal lurkers... the ONLY way that the "gap" can shrink is if the economy is in decline... or government goes fully Marxist and redistributes all wealth (which results in catastrophic failure, just like it always has before.)
