Turns out people have quite strong feelings about career -ruining and planet-burning tech advances.

I think it's good that there are topics that elicit emotional responses. It does make the discussion a bit difficult, gotta admit that.

I do not believe for one instance that people are coming from a legitimate concern around planet-burning and reaching their conclusions about AI vs. reasoning backwards from wanting reasons to be anti-AI. Very few people I've met seems willing to make one iota of earnest personal sacrifice for avoiding actual in-real-life planet-burning industries.

Actively pisses me off hearing climate rationale for opposing something so relatively inconsequential while the house is on fire from pre-existing industry that is grandfathered in.
