Hard agree. Nothing more offputting than being labeled and categorized like the corporate overlords are playing AeO II and I’m a "resource" to be acquired, harvested, used and/or discarded.
Pick up a (combat) sport. It’s the only thing AI can’t touch/ruin in any meaningful way. At least until robotics get to human level or better, and still then I don’t think robots playing football or doing jiu-jitsu is something people are gonna enjoy participating in or watch. Much like there is no market to watch two non-humans play chess, because who cares other than for benchmarking performance or some ulterior motive.
Really well put. I’ve learned this lesson the hardest possible way over ten years. Still struggling with accepting that things are wrong and that I can’t and shouldn’t try to fix them all, as much as I think I could.
Isn’t it technically in their favor if competition is proven bad, even if it would be equally easy to prove their product likely equally bad or even worse?
As much as I agree with everything you said I can’t just let it die. If I’m on public transport without juice I may get fined for not having a ticket. There is no non-smartphone-on option available in my country anymore.
And they were and are of course right to feel those feelings, but it doesn't change the fact that the world is changing. Rarely do large changes benefit everyone in the world.

I'm not sure who you are arguing against. No one here said that the world isn't changing. But it seems to me that the people who are disadvantaged by AI, which is potentially everyone who doesn't own a data center, should take efforts to ensure their continued survival, instead of merely becoming serfs to the ruling oligarchs.
