> That's the product of math from the point of view of mathematicians. But is it the point of view of those funding math?

That's AI in a nutshell: the only point of view that matters is the point of view of people with a lot of money, and we've finally developed a technology that will allow all those other points of view to be squashed and discarded. The powerful won't need to be bothered with them anymore.

For them, math is an instrument. Disagree? Fuck you, you don't matter anymore. Be excited about the future!

When did people with no power matter?

[AndrewKemendo]

Never of course.

The only examples we have are when power is transferred or seized to someone previously without it.

But all you did was replace one figure head with another figure head in almost every single case and you just start the cycle over.

Literally all the time in prior history, whenever people WITH power needed them to do smart stuff for them.
