JK Rowling expresses her opinion on transgender women and receives some pushback - Rowling responds to that by going all out in making her being a TERF her entire personality.
Linus Torvalds goes on Linus Tech Tip and when ask for his opinion on AI, states that it’s coming anyway so we better get used to it - receives some pushback and is now rapidly becoming the guy who makes using AI his entire personality.
AI (can we just call it LLM please?) on itself isn’t a problem. Its a tool, the end. The problem is how its currently implemented, mostly by big tech who loves razing forrests to built giant data centers that slurp energy and water with no end, all built with so much ram and GPU power that the markets have died. And all of that so that people can mostly cheat on their job or exams, or produce child porn, and of course destroy millions of jobs (I’m in that category, jobless for well over 6 months, can’t find any job anymore)
Fuck all of that, and fuck big tech.
But that doesn’t mean that LLMs are fundamentally evil or something. Its software, its a tool, its basically an interactive distance measurementdatabase.
The problem is not what it is, its how it currently is being used
Oh, the irony here. In truth, it is your kind that make AI hate their entire personality. AI really lives rent-free in your heads. To all us normal people, it’s simply just another tool.
It’s not simply a tool. AI has absolutely huge environmental and social costs. The data centers use up a lot of space, energy and water that could have been proper housing. Look up what it is like to live next to a data center.
AI also causes people to get laid off because stupid executives think it can replace people. Job security is in the toilet for any job affected by this digital disease.
AI or specifically LLMs have also completely ruined the internet. Most articles are thoughtlessly shat out by an LLM and contain errors and blatant misinformation. Sometimes they contradict themselves in less than three sentences. It has become increasingly difficult to find useful information.
AI companies endorse fascism and manipulate social media platforms for the twisted ideas of those companies’ leaders.
In short: Fuck AI. The gains do not outweigh the costs.
I mean, the AI hate is unfortunately really justified, for so many reasons. And I say this as someone who appreciates how useful LLMs are at processing language, especially those of the programming variety.
There’s the whole billionaire techno fascism trying to use AI as a tool to further enslave us. Or those same people stealing people’s work illegally and profiting off of it. The entire consumer tech market being destroyed. The environment. The tax breaks and subsidizing small communities pay to prop up data centers. Those same communities paying more for utilities, while they still CAN afford them. Brain atrophy. The issues the education failing to keep up. Misinformation. Fraud. The list goes on, so so many terrible things.
But yeah, for people who already understand how programming works, it can definitely help save time and effort.

I fail to see how this has anything to do with the Harry Potter lady or the YouTube tech guy.
Linus is clearly trans, duh. Which Linus? You chose!

Does the cost outweigh the benefits?
No.
Do people also make it their personality to “worship the sphere Earth theory”?
Yes. They don’t get a lot of attention in the media, but they spend a LOT of time disproving flat earthers theories.
