IMO the end-game business goal is to own the means of production for basic human actions. AI Bros love to shout how it enables everyone to do everything, but they leave off the part where they get to skim off the top because all of those activities cost tokens. You can create any image or movie you want! (But you need to pay us for the compute.) You can create you own apps! (If you have the budget for it this month.) The linked blog also fails to mention the cost factor. Sorry bro, I don’t want my OS to be powered by a subscription model.

When you’re watching television, you’re watching the news, you’re being pumped full of fear, there’s floods, there’s aids, there’s murder, cut to commercial, buy the Acura, buy the Colgate…
Keep everyone afraid, and they’ll consume…

Therefore, it’s always important to keep the peace in mind, and keep the infinitely marvelous light closer to the heart flowing within brilliant Jazz of steady notes of fathom…

And watch it swallow me…
I bleed…
Toe the line… Toe the line… Toe the line…
