@tante@tldr.nettime.org What these factories will produce are weapons.
You should think of #AI as dual-use technology. It has some civilian uses, but the tip of the spear is in #military and surveillance.
#Weapons don't have to be elegant. They don't need to hit every time, as long as you have a lot of them. That's what modern ML does best.
AI tools will accelerate development of weapons. Especially #autonomousweapons. These data centers will undoubtedly become the nerve centers of a global world tyranny.

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green @tante@tldr.nettime.org I don't think we have to worry about them becoming anything, since they are already what we fear, at least here in the States. Our federal government, along with state and local are all on board, and I've read many statements that suggest that We the People have no say in the construction of these things, and merely being against them is terrorism. I think that makes it obvious what they already are.
