One of the things that I find particularly infuriating about this whole "AI" hype machine is just how much it exemplifies the fundamental misallocation of resources in our capitalist global economy. Set against the backdrop of widespread poverty, hunger, untreated preventable disease, habitat loss, climate change, etc. we're dumping billions of dollars and almost unfathomable amounts of energy into creating just about the dumbest, most harmful technologies one could think of. I hate it so much.
