You've deliberately been vague about your position on the utility of AI.
So I'll assume you think AI is useful for society and a net good if it were not controlled by capitalists. Again I wouldn't have to assume this if you had been straight about it.
If you think AI is useful if it were publicly owned, surely high energy costs and hardware costs are necessary if the public were to use it?
Whats the point of talking about hardware and energy costs when that's something the public needs to bear that cost in one way or another, whether by voting for it or not?
If the bubble bursts and the models become commoditised, the margins on hosting drop to near zero and people can access models at much cheaper costs and there's no central authority (like spooky oligarchy who control power) that you are scared of.
So why is hardware and energy costs even a problem if the public consents to using AI with their own revealed preference?
