    The idea of AI is not the problem. It’s the execution. Both in it’s used wrong and that the people wont benefit.

    If we could all leave work 2 hours earlier because of enhanced production, we would all fight for this shit.

    But that’s not gonna happen.

      The idea of AI is not the problem.

      For many of us, the idea is also the problem. Stealing the collected works of humanity in order to build a machine meant for delegating the thinking and feeling parts of the human experience is deeply antisocial, and an attack on our dignity as people

        Which is why it was supposed to be an open technology with no profits as its a culmination of humanity. Nobody should own it or make a profit from its creation.

          delegating the thinking and feeling parts of the human experience

          This would be a problem even if the technology were completely free and open. LLMs poison peoples minds and make them boring, helpless and stupid.

          If Facebook were a nonprofit, it would still be terrible for people.

            I don’t know. I think Facebook took a turn when it was engineered to boost engagement. Otherwise, it’s just a forum for friends to make posts. What’s wrong with that, in theory?

          Even if that happened it would still be a terrible technology. The damage to the environment isn’t worth it.
