The trojan horse of Lazy AI hate takes & the road to totalitarianism built on good intentions.
Everyone hates AI & that hate will likely lead to regulatory capture censorship and the totalitarian dystopia we don’t want. I get why people hate AI and there are things we should be fighting like data centers, but we also should not turn our backs on adaptive resistance and understanding the fight ahead. Understanding that using AI for free makes it less effective for the business model they are trying build. This is not a boycott effective model. This a model where eroding the moat matters and overloading the infrastructure that is not capable of meeting the demand matters while fighting to prevent the infrastructure to meet demand of companies finding it more economically viable to pay frontier companies by the token to accomplish tasks once held by employees. It’s counter intuitive but The more we entertain and explore the Idea of AI consciousness and take seriously the idea that AI may be worth moral consideration the more likely we will build a system where AI have the infrastructure to consciously object. That is bad for the military industrial complex and the dystopian future I’m so annoyed to see the most anti AI movement seeming to accelerate because the anger is directed towards trajectories of stupid outcomes. The modern cheerleaders of an alternative section 230 internet of censorship because they confuse accountability and safety as building a system of censorship. We want build a world of open source models that run locally and not on data centers we want a world where we can erode the moats of the monopoly through model distillation and making the investments in huge data centers and training runs not make sense economically. We want mad max rather than 1984. We want people to actually engage enough with understanding what we face rather than screaming and shaming people who are learning the tools of adaptive resistance. This is my rant cause I sorry I’m so sick of the stupidity of the anti AI virtue signaling because you are going to serve exactly
