AI as a technology at its core is fine, what is at issue here is the unnecessary scaling up of AI. There were great strides being made in making models as small and efficient as possible before OpenAI fucked up the entire market by becoming a for-profit company. They literally can’t scale the models much further no matter how much data and compute they throw at them nowadays, and the money faucet still hasn’t been turned off to disastrous consequences.

It is genuinely funny how every one of these people over the years has to start their major complaint with “I still love trump, but [insert horrible trump policy]”.

Like, they can’t tear themselves away from the cult for even a second. It’s fascinating.
