AI models could be seen as being markets of sorts themselves, and all human acts of communication as obscure attempts to revalue the “prices” or “parameters” of particular ideas — they are acts of economic exchange, regardless of the auspices under which people might think they are speaking. All communication is aimed at persuading the models to change, regardless of who we think we are talking to, because only the models have the scale, scope, and perspective to dictate which meaning are binding, what things “really” look like, and so on.

No, your money problems are not the result of Jewish “shysters” ripping off hardworking “goyim”—they flow from a system that was designed to extract maximum wealth from working people. And that system is not called the “Illuminati” or the “Elders of Zion”—it’s called capitalism. And only unity among members of the working classes—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or religion—will ever stand a chance of winning a fairer world.
When we’re thinking about the actuality of AI, we can’t separate the calculations in the code from the social context of its application. AI is never separate from the assembly of institutional arrangements that need to be in place for it to make an impact in society.
