  • Divide and conquer. Non state-actors and special interest have a far easier time attacking a hundred small entities than one big one. Because people have much less bandwidth to track all this shit than it is to spread it around. See ALEC and the strategy behind state rights.

    In the end this is about economic power. The only way to curb it is through a democratic government. Lemmy servers too can be bought and sold and the communities captured that grew on them.


















  • they do it while dehumanizing people and devaluing humanity

    You’re making wild assumptions about people who disagree with your opinions. How ironic you accuse “them” of dehumanizing people.

    But I do agree that this gets to the core of the matter, the shock of a piece of software being able to produce intelligent text while clearly not having general intelligence is quite the shock. Same with creativity, while the entertainment industry produced equally empty content slop using human labor it’s a painful shock to our identity as humans. I suspect this is a reaction to disillusionment and the intellectual pain that comes from it.

    My opinion on LLMs is rather nuanced, the worst possible outcome I can foresee is the anti-AI crowd helping the oligarchs to establish IP ownership of all LLM models and monopolizing the tools, so that only they can have access to the “means of generation”. While the rest has to pay for the privilege of using it.
