Very good conversation about AI. Here's the ALJazeera link https://www.aljazeera.com/program/studio-b-unscripted/2024/2/22/the-ai-series-ai-and-surveillance-capitalism

I like the focus on "the system" rather than the "AI". The "AI" is not really the problem here, the system is, where it incentivizes the use of AI for bad purposes. From big companies who want to harvest people's data and show ads to them, or sell their "AI" as a service, and thus be incentivized to make this tool for profit motives, to individuals who are using these tools to create more shitty content online in order to get more clicks, more views, more money.

In the end it is what we talked about for years now: the problem with trade. We live in a trade-based society where everyone is forced and incentivized to trade. So instead of making a tool like AI for detecting skin cancer, or creating videos more easily, and overall to help the society, people, and be useful, humans make these tools in order to trade them: for data, attention, or currency.

We need to talk about that! We need to talk about our society more than we need to talk about AI.
