for my work, AI is not a technical project, but a political one. tech stacks float across my focus/inquiry almost inconsequentially compared to power disparities & administrative violence
brian's been saying this too - we can't productively talk about AI except as an "intensely political project"

You cannot responsibly write about AI without writing about politics. "AI" is an intensely political project, especially in its current formation, where development is led by tech giants that increasingly depend on the state—for contracts, land rights, and, of course, for deregulation.

Some notes about the fact that they LLM-generated the data they used to train the system (before it grows into a full-blown narrative):
That still has environmental run costs, &
It's Still the same shitty biases that went into those other LLMs, but, y'know, iterated & amplified via LLM processes.

Like we genuinely told you this could be done for fractions of the cost and via different organizing principles.
Don't get me wrong, the Chinese team used the same stolen data openAI did, and I'm pretty sure they only released it for free because, again: it MASSIVELY disrupts the US "AI" market…
