Gregory's ServerAI is \*not\* just a tool. It is a pea and thimble game in which a few, very rich people steal our entire cultural and intellectual history, and use it in a way that forever depletes it. It is a way of enclosing the commons. And it's taking us all, the demos, too long to get our collective heads around it because, like the climate, it is so strange to think of it being steal-able that the idea doesn't stick, it doesn't have language to describe and discuss it. 1/3 #AI

@lindawoodrow yes, AI could be the biggest land grab in history.
Big tech is like a data-hungry Pacman. Nom nom nom nom...
But it's OK, you can rent your knowledge back from them.
@lindawoodrow your post has helped me see that it has the same dynamics as this metaphor 👉 https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/113107865455294213
What Ted Chiang last year characterised as the “blurry JPEG of the web” problem is just a subset of the *ever-thinning gruel for dinner* problem 😞
@lindawoodrow I strongly agree. There are various analyses of this in the literature. The one which resonates most strongly for me is ‘technofeudelism’ (Yanis Varafoukis), worth a read.
