> At least part of me feels like they're trying to make more and more of the population dependent on them,

They're spending a lot on trying to make that happen. And there's a lot of rhetoric (which may or may not actually represent what they're thinking) from the government about China getting better AI than us and being the "leader in AI".

> because it's like they finally managed to make a search engine which only returns the data they want people to see.

I think you've nailed it, I think this is it.

I wonder if this is a propaganda manufacturing scheme. The big deal in the 20th century was Bernays and mass communications. That fragmented: nation-states are trying to push back, but it is harder and hard to control the flow of information. When there are only four TV channels, it's easy, but decentralization has frustrated governments a lot, you don't know who is getting their information from where. But if you could flood the world with bots that tailor their information to the recipient and manage to stay on-message the whole time, whatever the message is, then it doesn't matter if communications are fully decentralized.

Then on the other end of this, the government has used things like long-ass lists of keywords to watch for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore_%28software%29 . AI as a propaganda tool *and* a monitoring tool, I can see why that would be worth a hundred billion dollars.

> What they believe is that "AI iS tHe FuTuRe!!" and that chatbots will replace all the plebs and somehow they will get richer off this, rather than get hanged by a starving, unemployed mob.

That's the hype, that's the sales pitch; I'm not sure that's what Microsoft's C-levels think.

Researchers a year or two ago said the training data was going full-Ouroboros and that there wasn't enough novel information to feed these things. Presumably if they can say it in public, they can tell management.

One thing about Microsoft is that they are driven by massive government contracts, enterprise contracts. It's entirely possible that they understand the limitations but want to corner the market because there's demand from the government or the Fortune 500. Who and why would be *really* interesting in that case.

@lanodan @hj @mangeurdenuage I don't mean the general case.

In the specific case of Microsoft spending nuclear-plant levels of electricity and doing massive pushes to send people out to train other companies to use Copilot more, pushing "FREE COPILOT!" on VSCode users and Github users, and having quotas for a percentage of lines of code generated rather than written, right? They're spending way more on this than seems reasonable in order to corner a market that will not ever be profitable.

There's something they believe about this market that is not obvious to me; I am curious what it is.

Solidarität mit dem Antifaschisten Zaid! Buttersäure für die AfD!

"Zurzeit sitzen etliche Antifaschist*innen in Haft, denen Angriffe auf Neonazis vorgeworfen werden. Unser Augenmerk liegt insbesondere auf der Situation von Zaid, denn ihm droht zeitnah im Rahmen des sog. Budapest-Komplex eine Ausweisung nach Ungarn.
Schon durch die Erfahrungen der non-binären Antifaschist*in Maja, die im vergangenen Jahr nach Ungarn deportiert wurde, wissen wir um die menschenverachtenden Haftbedingungen vor Ort. In einem faschistischen System wie dem von Viktor Orbán ist für seine Gegner*innen kein fairer Prozess zu erwarten.
An dieser Stelle wollen wir betonen, dass der Vergleich von Haftbedingungen und vermeintlich fairen Prozessen suggeriert, dass es z.B. hierzulande ein rechtstaatliches System gäbe, was wir akzeptieren könnten oder was nur manchmal ein wenig blind auf dem rechten Auge wäre...."

Today In Labor History April 11, 1934: Frank Norman, who had the gall to organize ALL citrus workers in the south, regardless of their race, was kidnapped from his home in Florida and murdered by Ku Klux Klansmen, dressed in local sheriff’s uniforms. Despite overwhelming evidence from the union, the case was swept under the rug by state officials, in the pocket of the citrus bosses. In May, 2018, the Sioux Falls AFL-CIO passed a resolution banning fascists and white supremacists from holding any positions of power in their union. In their resolution, they referenced both the murder of Frank Norman, and the recent murder of Heather Heyer, by white supremacists, in Charlottesville.

Magazine article, with picture of klansmen, dressed in hoods and robes, facing off against a room full of African American people, and the headline: Union Organizer murdered by kkk on April 11, 1934.
