Yeah, it will be used to "scientifically" entrench discrimination and denial of medical care.
Absolutely nobody is going to benefit from AI except ghouls like Nadella and Altman.
You should listen to blind smartphone user Steve Nutt discuss his experiences using AI tools on the Phone Show Chat podcast or read about the experiences of Ann, a woman who was paralyzed after a stroke, who was able to communicate again using her voice thanks to AI. In other words, let the disabled speak for themselves instead of assuming they are some homogenous group of people who all share the exact same opinion as you and have nominated you as their sole representative.
I am benefitting right now. It's great for programming. It's built right into my IDE now. In fact, this has been a thing for quite a while now with many people...
I'm already benefiting from it on a daily basis, and I'm neither of those people.
Capitalists will always capitalize, but that doesn't necessarily negate usefulness. On the contrary, by some estimates llama3 cost nearly $1B to develop, yet it's free on huggingface for anyone to download and use.
