Holy shit...
[CW: SA mentions and psychological manipulation]
Definitely not nefarious
These topics, holy shit. Seemingly an attempt to see if they can manipulate the public into doubting the credibility of the Me Too, BLM and Free Palestine movements. The foreign hospital one seems like it's there to gauge xenophobia and racism too. This is pretty damning. It's not like the West doesn't have a long history of trying to brainwash its own people, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that this is funded by ruling class looking for ways control it's people.
There seems to be a focus on sexual assault, specifically underage assault. Which, considering the ruling classes track record with people like Epstein, makes me wonder if they're trying to throw doubt about if claims of assault are "real"
This is bleak. Considering people already try and say the crimes of the capitalist ruling class are "fake news" I'm worried that in the future anything and everything that rocks the ruling class boat is going to be handwaved away as "AI"
Posting internet comments is the one form of media that proletarians can easily participate in to reach the masses without outright gatekeeping by an editor. Yeah yeah, mods & admins can remove comments/posts, and algorithms can fuck with their reach, but generally, discussion can exist without too much intervention.
It was absolutely apparent that disrupting this was an explicit goal of LLMs from their initial outset.
This creates an asymmetrical playing field where corporations and NED orgs can spend lots of money on GPU farms to push their messages, but prole groups cannot nearly as easily.
LLMs also trivially allow these same efforts to interface with the only platforms uncolonized by corporate algorithm fuckery. So even if we built ourselves a life raft with the fediverse / Lemmy, we are still trivially subject to large scale influence operations, even if less valuable as a target. It seems like big tech is aware of efforts to avoid corporate control over public opinion, and LLMs are the immune system response to exert control on platforms they don't own.
I only hope that either capitalism crashes and makes this shit too expensive for them to do, or artists and writers succeed in their efforts on poisoning the algos
Our only hope is China maintaining course and leading in artificial intelligence.
IMO capitalism in the west cannot fall before the fall of bourgeois owned social media and big tech, so we are probably doomed forever.
But the future for the global south and AES is bright.
The only upside to the US trying to instigate a war in Taiwan is that if China or the US bombs TSMC, all of this becomes immediately financially infeasible.
This is the only way capitalism will fall in the imperial core, unless we wait decades for China to massively outpace our AI development, completely change their foreign policy, and deploy better LLMs in the west pushing revolutionary counter narratives.
The hope of getting a Chinese visa is the only thing keeping me going at this point.
