...There's a debate going on?
Honestly feel that the newest generation has a majority of their numbers knowing how fucked the US is both currently and from a historical perspective (leftist tiktok is a big thanks to this). I do feel that there's some differences in consumption such as entertainment that boomer corporate suits do not at all comprehend (I was in highschool when markiplier began and you had streamers making boatloads of cash) that is interesting in a comical way like FB trying to monetize shit already invented like VR chatrooms but within a proprietary environment but not understanding that kids both don't have the money for that nor the inclination to be bound to it compared to buying cheaper VR headsets and settling for 3rd party and open source stuff.
A lot of them slowly dropped the campy nature of parodying romero zombies as well as getting a bit too serious with the plot (love the initial game though having CIA backed Contras creating a zombie virus due to having to make more ground beef for burgers).
All it takes is rising humidity coupled with a longer hot period like what is currently being seen in certain areas of Mexico, heck even humidity around 50% with temps around the 100s will likely start seeing larger heat stroke events occurring.
Fascism and collapse, or collapse and fascism, either one in either order.
The first heat bulb event will likely be the beginning of the end for Flrida never mind the rising sea level wiping out profitable coastline housing and infastructure.
And that you still work for a robust trade union that hasn't been hollowed out
The same people that consumes that slop and will also stare you down wihtout irony and say there is nothing political about Metal Gear Solid or that games like Spec Ops The Line are not anti-war pieces.
So much art and literature both public and private was used to make these types of LLMs and yet no one truly talks about the consequence of stealing that labor and undervaluing it. So many tech bros love to shit on the arts because a robot can make something that is an amalgam of many artists and call it "art" but forget or willfully ignore the labor needed to create that data beforehand, again it's labor exploitation just as you mentioned. Also yeah as used as data scrappers and aggregators these types of machines are amazing and something that should be used, it's just that there needs to be actual human beings making sure the collected data is cleaned and properly organized or else it's just vomiting out useless shit. The humans that do this type of cleaning work are so well hidden or outsourced to other countries that no one wants to acknowledge that there is no way to truly remove the need for human labor and inputs or else the "magic" of AIs would fizzle out and the current boom would turn to a bust cycle similar to when crypto was so fresh in everyone's mind.
Maybe don't create a society that treats women like trash, normalizes workplace SA, has workers grinding themselves to death for their bosses, and also fires people if they don't exhibit acceptable workplace alcoholism (being coerced to go a drink every night with your bosses for a chance to moving up the corporate ladder).
