If you pull back the curtain on the AI industry, it reveals something. For starters, there is nothing Intelligent about AI, so the term itself is misleading, and marketing hyperbole.

In addition to the content of this interesting interview, I am curious about a possible alternative purpose for the AI data centres since I still cannot fathom how they will make a profit for their investors. And yet they continue to pour money into the AI bubble. Why? Is it just misplaced greed, or something else as well, behind the scenes?

I have a knawing feeling that we are financially contributing to the building of a massive digital prison for ourselves where these systems can be used for even greater control of our already excessively restricted and highly overwatched lives. What might happen if, instead of cameras on us, the cameras were turned onto those who say they act on our behalf, so we could make sure they are actually behaving themselves behind closed doors?
