It's beside the point. I'm simply saying that AI will improve in the next year. The cost to do so or all the others things that money could be spent on doesn't matter when it's clearly going to be spent on AI. I'm not in charge of monetary policies anywhere, I have no say in the matter. I'm just pushing back on the fantasies. I'm hoping the open source scene survives so we don't end up in some ugly dystopia where all AI is controlled by a handful of companies.
I have the impression that anti-AI people don't understand that they are giving up agency for the sake of temporary feels. If they truly cared about ethical usage of AI, they would be wanting to have mastery that is at least equal to that of corporations and the 1%.
Making AI into a public good is key to a better future.
They are having an emotional reaction to this situation so it’s all irrational.
I guess we need to force them to think about what they actually want, because the utopic ideal of putting the AI back in the bag is NOT happening and they best not attempt to take it away from the poor and working class while leaving power free reign of it.
That is the most stupid position you can take on this. Absolutely the most short sighted thought. People need to stop and think logically about this.
