    The market shouldn’t even exist.

    Imagine if I offered a service to connect people with local serial killers. Then after some time more people started offering that service.

    Would you say “Well hopefully competition will drive down prices at least”?

      Yeah big AI needs to not be a thing. Small, focused, FOS, and local AI seems like a future with an okay compromise. I say as a very anti-AI person, but for those that use AI, that seems to be what they’re doing, in my vicinity.

        It all still burns energy at a time when we should be reducing our energy consumption. And for mainly frivolous things which we could have done without AI aynway.

          It does, but less energy, and it distributes it worldwide rather than destroy the ecosystems where their data centers are located.
