How is any of what you said a meaningful response? ML, language processing model, AI, same difference.
The scale of resources necessary to create the most powerful of these tools is only achievable by nations and their largest corporations.
Those with access to these tools will be capable of performing many feats faster and/or better than those without.
The business of ads, software development, medical care, insurance, risk analysis, behavioral modification, logistics, investment firms, etc. are all going to go to whoever has the best tools for handfuls of sapiens to apply.
You think the illusion of choice is bad now?
You think the distribution of wealth is bad now?
I believe it’s going to get a whole lot worse if these tools exist in a watered down state for the public and a socioeconomic weapon of mass destruction for the few.

Reply to comment by momo_0 in UIUC Researchers propose a new way to get fresh water from seawater, without the disadvantages of traditional desalination. They say that a vertical “capture surface” that is 210 m wide and 100 m tall, could extract enough vapor floating above warm oceans to supply 500,000 people with freshwater by lughnasadh
You know the water still exists on or near the surface of earth after we’re through with it right? We’re not shooting it up into space or shoving it in a wormhole.

I only use theaterm "war zone" when there's literally burned out cars on cinderblocks, derelict high rises covered in graffiti, and the businesses keep their doors locked.
