(3/6) AI hype is a mirror of market fundamentalism
#LLMs are the perfect microcosm of capitalism. These systems mask the vast amounts of labor needed to run them, allowing commodity fetishism to form around #AImodels.

This mirrors the fetishism #neoliberal #economists display around markets, detached from understanding the influence of #capitalist institutions and #politics on markets.

AI hype is a mirror of market fundamentalism

Both AI enthusiasts and market fundamentalists gloss over the context needed to understand complex systems.

(5/6) The tension at the heart of market #capitalism
Markets under capitalism face four paradoxes managing the balance of power in the system:

1. Property rights limit competition.
2. Property rights enforcement invites exploitation.
3. Markets reward secrecy but need transparency to function well.
4. Market success undermines market competition.

The tension at the heart of market capitalism

Capitalism promises competition, but its biggest winners avoid it. Separating markets from capitalism explains this paradox.

(6/6) #Capitalism runs like a computer (and it's being hacked)

Markets under capitalism are an open system whose norms and protocols can be hijacked to create permanent structural advantages. Very similar to #exploits #vulnerabilities in #cybersecurity.

Because #capitalists institutions determine what can be bought and sold in market capitalism they are often targets of hijacking.

Like computer networks, market capitalism rewards actors that exploit gaps created by system and user behavior.

(4/6) The lethal economics of corporate kung fu
Market failure = firm success. To understand #economic reality, we have to understand that companies are competing over ways to avoid economic competition. Even if it comes at consumers' expense. Corporate kung fu are the insane tactics companies pursue that screw over consumers.

The lethal economics of corporate kung fu

Does competition in market capitalism incentivize increasingly cleverer ways of bypassing economic competition?

(2/6) #LLM “intelligence” is a #darkpattern. I argue that the defining feature of LLMs is that they’re a structured “dark pattern” meant to launder the idea that a mind’s on the other side.

To that end, unlike any good technology, there’s no affordance that promotes any intended use. That doesn't make LLMs useless, but it makes them extremely dangerous from a user safety standpoint. Like a hammer without a handle.

LLM “intelligence” is a dark pattern

LLMs leverage scaffolding and user psychology to appear as slabs of raw intelligence in service of a costly illusion.
