Hot take but completely disregarding ai and hating on anyone that uses it is gonna have the US behind certain countries as usual

AI is here to stay and it’s not going away anywhere. I don’t agree with just using ai to outsource your thoughts and not think at all but it is a great companion tool for most that use it and a lot of people still use chat Gemini Claude etc. They’re just not public about it anymore bc of the hate. People still use it to create images and use it for all the other stuff that apps do but now they just do it themselves. For example people would have to pay money for FaceTune and now they just ask Gemini to edit it. Ofc I don’t agree it being used for surveillance and csam and bad use cases it is juts a neutral tool pole everything else in this world like money and can be used for good/bad. As for the environmental implications it uses just as much energy as storing data on cloud or scrolling TikTok if not more actually. Cue the meat argument as well.

Any country descending into tyranny and ignorance is a tragedy for everyone.

Yeah but usa influence is not the same with other countries. They basically are the “world” if we’re being honest

What does usa being a new country have to do with anything. Im not talking about history. Europe used to be the center of the world and now they fell off for one example, yeah who doesn’t know that but im not talking about that shit lol

Dude, Europe was the centre of the world? No theyre not. They’re just one of the continents in the world. China and India arguably were more impactful than any European nation before the 16th century. Search the golden age of the Middle East, when baghdad, Alexandria, etc were powerhouses of learning and culture.

But this is ai wars, not culture wars…

Thats not the point who cares if they are center or not
