    Word! I wouldn’t even say that LLMs and other generative AI are a problem*. Locally run, i.e. in the hands of the people, and used on the right task, they can be a great tool! People are just fed up with centralised oligarch tech shoved down their throats in pursuit of the Epstein class’ pipe dream: lay everybody off, automate (almost) all production and keep the profits to yourself.

    * well, as long as you don’t look to closely at how they were trained in the first place…

      Hey, I would even look forward to being laid off due to tech becoming so advanced I’m not necessary anymore. Imagine how much fun I could have not working. It’s the rich people eating up all the profit that makes me uneasy. But give me my time and enough money to play around and I’ll be happy being laid off. I will still do what I do today, but not 40 hours a week. And just for fun.
