I maintain that most anti-AI sentiment is actually anti-lying-tech-CEO sentiment misattributed.
The technology is neat, the people selling it are ghouls.
This is how I felt about Bitcoin.
I hate the Anthropic guy so much.. when I see the face it just brings back all the nonsense lies and "predictions" he says. Altman is kind of the same but for some reason Dario kind of takes the cake.
Exactly: the technology is useful but because the executive class is hyping it as close to AGI because their buddies are slavering for layoffs. If that “when do you get fired?” tone wasn’t behind the conversation, I think a lot of people would be interested in applying LLMs to the smaller subset of things they actually perform well at.
