    It may be a little tinfoil hat like, but you cannot convince me that these companies are shoving AI in literally everything, buying all the hardware in existence, and building data centets on land that no one wants them at, just to “make a better ai for the consumer.” I believe this is an attempt at hardcore tracking and surveillence.

      I think it’s a combination of that and the worry that there will be one winning ubercorp that practically merges with the US Government.

      I mean, they are all pushing all their chips in at the same time. It’s like they know it’s now or never.

        And govs are pushing it because it’s yet another arms race.

        The logical course of action is to collectively just not do AI. But you can’t prevent your adversaries from doing such, so it ends up being like some sort of prisoner’s dilemma.

        Even if they didn’t, they probably don’t want to seem like they’re falling behind, so once one person goes all in, so do the others.
