The tech is already described as "too big to fail."

The people saying that are all victims of the Eliza effect, greed, and not understanding fuck all about how anything in our existence really works.

It's an economic bloodbath in every way, shape, and form. Accelerationists like the Trump regime and its supporters applaud it. It's unsustainable environmentally and socioeconomically.

But the problem is really that the short sightedeness of the investors in these companies fail to see what will happen as soon as this industry fails with all that hardware.

The companies will be saved. Not the AI tools. The deal will be the goverment takes ownership of all of the datacenters. Those datacenters become the worlds most powerful surveillance system ever dreamed. How? The hardware for training and utilizing LLMs is identical to that of every other machine learning hardware.

Facial recognition accuracy will skyrocket. They will not only be able to identify where you last were, but they will be able to predict your exact location based on data they can gather without a warrant. Who is driving your car. When you are driving a car that isn't yours. Who you talk to, and when. Every single bit of data a corporation can gather and sell to the government will be able to be processed.

It's already happening to a large degree. Right now, there are false positives. They don't want that. False positives don't allow for complete control.

These people in power have one driving objective: social homeostasis. Its driven from a core anxiety that people must live their certain way, and bad things happen when people don't.

Those bad things vary in their mind - people get murdered, people get stolen from, people get sick. But it can also be "I won't go to heaven if I don't help fix this" or "this is the reason there is poverty" or "the world is too fucked, so we need to reset, and through strict control we can force a reset."
