The real class war will be between people who ate yesterday and people who did not eat yesterday.
The billionaire class wants you to think someone with a million dollars is your enemy. And they want the millionaire to think you are their enemy.
But you know what the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is? About a billion dollars.
The enemy is the ultrawealthy, and the more we remind the vaguely rich about this, the better our chances of actually changing things. At least that’s how I see it.
That’s all generative AI is. Machine learning applied to tasks like image generation and text generation. It’s all the same stuff. The difference between something that detects parts of an image and something that generates parts of an image is in application.
Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? I’m not making any value statements about generative AI here.
