As Asma Mhalla, lecturer at SciencesPo Paris
and École Polytechnique, recently said,
“Technology is the vehicle of normalization.”
This has been the case since the first printing
presses made mass production of books possible,
and generative AI is no exception. Its designers
shape the tools according to their own worldview —
a historical, economic, strategic, political,
ethical, and/or philosophical vision of the world.
This ambivalence could not be more worrying when
it comes to AI. As Alix mentioned, the people
in George Orwell’s novel 1984 are conditioned
by a totalitarian state, with the Ministry of
Truth tailoring reality and history. Its “Newspeak”
output is a language without nuance, a language
that shapes thought — and consequently leads
to the absence of thought.

The "comedy of the digital commons" is a new
concept. It has never been described yet,
neo-feudalism was rather linked to
hi-tech goods available only for the elite,
but what we see now is not a scarcity,
or gating, its more a different problem,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-feudalism
the problem of oligarchy and monopoly
and brainwash in the public sphere.

With the ggexit we are in the middle of a
a comedy of the digital commons, which
is nothing else than a new feudal system.
Ultimately there will be more censoring,
and more standardized interpretation
of the world through AI. We already
have lost Archimedes Plutionium and
Dan Christensen. Humanity can just
dispose of its own brains now.

For morons stuck in medieval morals:
Interesting historical twist, before
the big bosses of the factories,
there were the big bosses of the
monasteries, with their serfs de la
Maison-Dieu, servi ecclesiastici. The
Gotteshausleute were an important
part of the rural economy in areas
where the church held large landholdings,
contributing to the wealth and influence
of religious institutions in the Middle Ages.

"humility" the perfect advice for all
the factory workers around the globe.
religion the opium of the masses.

Pride, one of the seven deadly sins, considered by some to be the

believed to generate other sins and further immoral behavior and is
countered by the heavenly virtue of humility.
