    Alternatively: what he is doing is causing immense suffering on a societal level and if he stopped doing it many people would live when they would otherwise die.

    If the government is unable or unwilling to stop him, or even stop accelerating what he’s doing, then there are other options.

      What immense suffering is caused by LLMs?

      Are you talking about the water and energy usage? Because that is more so caused by Capitalism than it is by technology.

        The majority of the people in my department were laid off this year and replaced with AI. The AI is doing a terrible job, but it’s virtually free.

        Art and music industries are also under intense pressure right now.

        LLM’s are being used to replace quality and creativity with slop. It is the ultimate enshittifier for society right now, and the only ones profiting are the wealthy and powerful.

      If the government is unable or unwilling to stop him

      Then it’s time to vote in a new government.

      Seriously, cool it with the violence-worship

          Give me one argument for that statement which cannot be equally applied to communism, anarchism or islamism by MAGA diehards to justify killing innocent people.

            we are not talking about communism or anarchism or islamism (?). they are totally different things.

            us imperialists will find a way to justify their actions one way or another and that should not influence the ideas we discuss to rid ourselves of them.

            Well killing is a bit overkill. But there needs to be protests and a unified public for killing and voting to actually do something positive. Fascists can’t be voted away because voting alone is useless

              I’m sure if you just beg, and plead enough, and if you say how much they hurt you, and how unfair it is…

              …they won’t bust out the lube.

                I mean randomly killing people in power without a proper basis just gets them replaced by equally bad people. That’s just basic materialism

            This is about violence towards the powerful. Not the powerful using violence.

            Are you seriously so dim as to confuse those two things with each other??
