I think LLMs are neat and useful tools in some circumstances. So I don't hate "AI", I hate the billionaires who are pushing it down our throats, or trying to replace us.

I don't think that is a very helpful talking point either. Replacing workers with machines has been a thing for centuries and isn't by itself a bad thing.

Using unverified AI for anything actually business critical is a very bad management decision though and any company that does that deserves the consequences. Using AI as replacement for eg. stock photos or video CGI? That is not a bad idea at all.

It’s an unhelpful talking point to assume that the billionaires are doing anything because they think it’s good business, or that they need to be good at business.

These assholes listen to a guy called Curtis Yarvin who wants to let humanity go extinct and create little kingdoms where they keep and experiment on the remaining people.

It sounds like tinfoil hat shit, but it’s not. Not that I think this shit would ever fly, let alone work; but that doesn’t stop them from being foolish enough to desire it.

If you're not active on the comms on awful.systems, I think you'd like it. Most users are aware of Yarvin etc.
