Socrates pointed out 2400 years ago that you can simply use their own arguments against them when facing idiots.
2400 years later the Socratic method roasts Musk.

"I don't understand why they're pushing AI so hard when we can all see it's making everything worse."
That's because it's not being marketed to you; it's being marketed to governments and plutocrats. They're the real target audience for these products, not you.
You are not receiving the real sales pitch for AI, because the real sales pitch would not appeal to your sensibilities. The real sales pitch for AI isn't "Hey check out this product, it makes some web searches slightly easier and it can maybe write your emails for you." The real sales pitch for AI is "This product allows you to surveil the entire population of your country. It can be built into autonomous surveillance drones and killing machines. It can allow you to monitor and control every aspect of your society. It can reverse the decentralization of information brought on by the internet age. It can take away the collective bargaining power of workers and give you the skilled services your company requires. It can nullify strikes, civil disobedience, and even full-scale revolutions, and lock humanity into your capitalist dystopia forever."
That's the real sales pitch. It doesn't sound appealing to any normal person, but it makes sense when you remember who these technologies are really being sold to, and why.

hey sam, your mclaren is only used 5% of the time. this is a terrible allocation of scarce resources. have you considered taking the bus to work
sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources
“a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre
but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time
you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment
somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”

El problema no es hablar de inmigración. El problema es aceptar el marco ideológico de la derecha para hacerlo. Porque cuando vinculamos sistemáticamente inmigración con inseguridad, dejamos de hablar de quién concentra la riqueza, quién especula con nuestras viviendas,

Vox es un partido a las órdenes de Netanyahu. No lo digo yo… lo dicen ellos.

Cómo estamos de controlados por medios que dos ex-cabecillas de VOX a nivel regional y de partido han salido a decir públicamente que el partido sirve a intereses extranjeros y que está en manos de otros y nadie de sus putos votantes está alarmándose.
