obviously this and the death penalty thing are hilarious but people really don't talk enough about how weird it is that Silicon Valley's big new commercial product is a universal truth-seeking machine

commercial chatbots are the 2025 equivalent of saying windows xp should be able to tell you the true meaning of life. this is a deeply, fundamentally misguided endeavor whose only possible outcome is letting corporations define the frame of human knowledge
i'd love to say open source AI has better possibilities, but a) it's still largely guided by corporations and b) as a longtime observer, my impression of the larger open source world is that it is at best barely capable of offsetting the very loud voices of weird amoral creeps
there's a world where the biggest text-based AI developers focused on creating easily customizable systems and positioned them as databases of human knowledge rather than all-purpose pseudo-oracles and I think it would be a far better one
