A technology that gives the wealthy access to skill and removed the skilled’s access to wealth?
File this under “duh”.

Oh well, nothing can be done.
Guess we all just have to bow down while the rich continue to greedily hoard more and more resources until they own absolutely everything – including us, by proxy.

Is it really a warning, or is it more of their business model?

Definitely true, helping the privileged more and leaving everyone else behind.

AI gives the wealthy a shot at cutting you out of the deal.
I saw an Instagram account that’s for a modeling “agency.” That agency is really just an AI render farm with a series of “models” that are basically just presets.
They’re aiming to push the models, the images and animations, and even the models as influencers.
So who does this try to cut out?
– Models, of course, plus any talent that reaches up to, like actors, voice talent all that.
– Photographers, videographers, and editors.
– Anyone that supplies gear for shoots, editing, and all that.
– Companies that ship gear, naturally.
– Catering folks.
– Costumers and prop builders.
– Hair and makeup artists.
– Anyone that coaches performers.
And the extra suck of it is that it’s sourcing the creators on its list to cut them out.
Even if you were small-time and trying the same idea, it’ll be the big businesses who can afford to run the models more than you and can afford the litigation you can’t. It’s like, run AI to find us new medical treatments, simulate new materials for power generation or storage, or cooling. Maybe find new ways to make things we already use with less waste or pollution. Or idk, some kinda real shit, not robbing people of their work all the way up and down the chain.

It’s just accelerating existing trends, making the rich richer, faster.

Anthropic Warns That AI Will Make People Misanthropic

Since obviously no one reads past the headline, this report is about between-country inequality (e.g. America vs Nigeria), not within-country inequality.
>AI startup Anthropic is warning that, because of the cost and infrastructure needed to adopt this technology, those potential gains are more likely to make their way to rich countries, exacerbating the already stark levels of economic inequality experienced by lower-income nations.

Duh.
Anyone with half a brain will see it will get a lot worse before it hopefully gets a lot better.
The tech is evolving way faster than society.

Microsoft: don’t call your ability to waste swimming pools worth of water making videos of scnazi kittens heiling Schitler “slop” it’s damaging humanity when you disrespect us.
Anthropic: AI is gonna make life worse for people.
Media: why is the general population so anti AI?

It’s almost funny if it weren’t so distressing. Inequality is currently not the priority problem given that half the world is on the verge of self-inflicted, societal collapse.

I listened to a long-form interview with the CEO of anthropic several months back- he seemed like a real straight shooter, with a high level of transparency. They have been working hard on getting their models to improve accuracy and quality of response over spitting out hallucinations in an effort to be helpful like some other companies.
If he claims expanding AI is going to worsen income inequality, I would be very concerned.
Literally tech bro feudalism and it’s the worst thing ever. Bubble has to be popped and people have to stop using ai products no matter what or else we’re going back to peasants who own absolutely nothing and still have to slave for our masters. It may be shoved in our faces but they cannot choke us all.

They’re all evil, but I feel like Anthropic Claude is the least evil. They do so many publications about ethics and doing AI better.

I think it is important to recognize they are mixing two different forms of inequality in this report.
That is country by country inequality and income inequality within a country. Those are interrealted but will be affected differentily. Other reports have shown that in places like Norway automation and ai is actually helping income inequality. The real problem isnt AI but how countries are structured to socially implement or socially fear technology and use that to raise or lower income.

Guess the public hasn’t adopted their products as much as they’d like, now they’re marketing directly to CEOs and billionaires.

This company thinks their blog posts will save their souls.
Humans in this version of reality will never create AI that won’t kill us. AI built by capitalism 😂 but sure. Keep supporting them. Suck on that pipe.

Duh? You can argue machines have only increased human labor output, not made it more efficient or easier. We just work harder longer for less, because the tool/machine just keeps making our labor less valuable and so they can pay us less, hire less of us, and make those who remain work harder more and more with all the new efficient gains
Its not sustainable. Billionaires have their boots on labors throats, just at a global level now. Who would have thought the new world order was republican billionaires all along

What do you expect, it lets people with money have access to skill that would normally take years of experience, while also devaluing said skills.

Those who reject AI in 2025 would like those in 1955 who rejected the computer. Did computers worsen inequality? 😂
But this isn’t news. We’ve known this for years.
Yeah, we know.
That’s a misanthropic statement.
