I was sarcastic. Maybe I'm being a bit unfair today.

But while fuckai is busy beating the drum for intellectual property expansion, a non-capitalist state like China has regulated their AI preventing workers being replaced by AI or regulating emotionally addictive companion bots. Meanwhile I have not heard a single actionable demand for regulation from fuckai.

So there is a problem with capitalists abusing AI. There is no problem fundamentally with LLMs themselves, they are just tools. They could be amazing to help with economic planning because it could allow to parse democratic input from millions of people.

IP laws are very much a tool of imperialist oppression. Patents are outright genocide, preventing rapid adoption of new technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And ultimately the IP argument will lead to open weight models becoming "illegal", monopolizing the "means of generation" and advanced robotics in the hands of the plutocrats. That is going to be "it" for the future of humanity then. They are going to pay a pittance in "general license costs", replace more and more labor, while you can try to pirate an open source model to use this emergent technological power yourself.

Yeah, memorization is a bug they have to fix. Like I said, then all problems will be solved.

What happened with Arch?

Wait, let me update real quick and reboot, brb

Now you've entered the land of fairy tales and make believe. A person who memorizes a book and then burns it and then recites to others would in fact not be put in front of a firing squad like you want to.

Not saying corporations are people (they are though) but they are literally not doing anything else than that. Now they only have to teach the AI to learn double think, to learn from the book, but then forget the book, only to be able to remember what that book was about, while being unable to faithfully repeat it.

That's literally going to solve any and all problems with AI. It's not like we should demand meaningful regulations about the actual problems like authoritarian China does. You know, because, think of the book publishers. They are people too!

The irony of the Trump administration literally destroying all records of business ownership is insane. That is like the greatest destruction of evidence in the history of a country.

Sounds like you're pretty talented with languages! But people learn differently. I would like to learn Chinese though. But I would like to learn a lot of things haha.

Lets say IP law is extended or reinterpreted to include that machine learning from book or papers or articles or comments requires a special license, even assuming the memorization problem is solved. This is what anti ai seems to be arguing.

This would then result in some kind of "deal". Producers of AI models are required to pay some kind of overall license fee or percentage into some kind of public fund. Even Bernie Sanders suggested something like that. The problems I see:

1. The AI corporations can afford this and it will not really impact them in any way. The prices for AI rise a little. Free access is reduced.
2. Open Weight models may no longer be used freely. You could still pirate a Chinese one but while capitalists have access to any potential benefits in replacing labor with AI, for ordinary people it becomes an additional form of rent.
   Also in combination with advances in robotics, these AI models could do a lot to allow people to become "independent" by just telling your $6000 robot (actual price for a humanoid robot in china today) to plant some potatoes and vegetables there there and there, then clean the house etc. Or DIY build your own out of plywood, servos and a smartphone once technology advances.
3. The government through that fund gains an active interest in protecting that source of incoming and increase AI use, even if it does replace workers.
   This happened with the tobacco funds when vaping came around. Governments had leveraged the future payouts of these funds with banks for short term payouts and would have been in big trouble if vaping actually reduced smoking significantly.

It was mentioned in the later part of this video: Eurasia Breaks USA: Three Front Defeat Forming | Prof. Radhika Desai.

But the source is this ASPI "Australian Strategy Policy Institute". Ah found it: https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/aspis-critical-technology-tracker-2025-updates-and-10-new-technologies/

In total, China now leads in 66 of the 74 technologies tracked, with the United States leading in the remaining eight—an imbalance that underscores why trusted partners need to act together to leverage comparative advantages, reduce concentration risk and shape the trajectory of critical technologies together.

Here is the list of technologies: https://techtracker.aspi.org.au/list-of-technologies The website seems a bit of a mess.

The video frames this as a function of neoliberalism slowly bleeding education and fundamental research dry (and also destroying demand because nobody can afford anything any more).

And also China has 1.4 billion people, invested into them and has slowly crept up the technology ladder, and now turn out an order of magnitude more engineers every year than the west.

I wonder if they are going to use advanced AI translations including voices. That would really open up their content to the west. Although much of it is probably pretty weird as far as I've seen (via website / GrayJay) - but so is youtube if you wander off the save paths lol.

How well does GrayJay work? Freetube used to work amazing but it's a tug of war now with google which frequently bans my IP. And it's yt only.

I found this article actually explaining how to bypass this for yt-dlp. But I wonder how far we'll come to have this in a multi source app.

This isn't a new idea though, it was the "hacker" ethos of the 90s. Most nerds believed in that. But it was wrong because we do need to limit hate speech. Because racist speech is racist recruitment. And we do need to limit the influence of plutocrats and corporations on information.

I also believe neoliberalism is a failed and genocidal ideology that should similarly be banned like advocating for fascism.

Like the other commenter pointed out the other problem is the massive power imbalance. They have billions and they crush us. It doesn't matter if something is right or wrong if billions are spend to hire the smartest sociopaths to craft an ad or PR campaign to emotionally manipulate the masses.

And the truth matters. We have a fundamental human right to reality. Constantly amplifying bullshit for revenue makes the actual flow of important information and ideas impossible.

I mean if you do need / have to use AI, you can buy tokens from China that use nuclear power plants. There should be a boycott for all AI providers that do not primarily use solar or wind or nuclear. With that branding China could literally outjerk the west in greenwashing lol.
