I think the better analogy is, the advances in rocketry made under hitler were pretty neat and just because Hitler was an evil guy who did evil shit doesn’t mean we should have thrown that away. By all means stop giving money and influence to the big AI companies, but the advances made can still be repurposed.

Will the Tesla be the next Beetle?

The main difference is that rockets are expressly for the purpose of murdering people, so I would argue that the research shouldn’t be continued or done at all.

Fortunately I’m pretty sure that people developing these computer programs are serious about trying not to murder people - even if just for legal reasons.

Rockets literally got us to the moon what do you mean.

Yes so of course my actual opinion is a little more nuanced than this. I absolutely see the uses of AI, I won’t deny that. I just fundamentally disagree with the way it is being used right now (by which I mean the gas-turbine-powered datacenters it requires, the noise pollution they create, the unethical/outright illegal acquiring of training data.

If you’re using a local model, whose training did not deprive actual people of huge amounts of water or electricity, and did not use stolen data, I’m all for it. But most people aren’t, they’re using ChatGPT or Gemini or whatever Microsoft is making.

Continuing your analogy, this would be like flying rockets manufactured by the third reich, not other companies using the same technologies.

I’m only using an over the top example to hopefully make my point more clear.

If that’s the only example available that illustrates the point, then you have not spent enough time thinking through your idea.

Do better.

Do better.

lmao fuck off

Thanks for admitting you haven’t got a legitimate argument.

“I don’t like your example, give me a different one.”

“No.”

“Checkmate libtard. So much for the tolerant left.”

ROFL.

Thanks for admitting you have no idea what you’re talking about. Again.

Maybe you should fully read what you’re looking at before posting next time. I’m not the person you were whining to originally.

It’s a bad look when you can’t even tell who it is you’re talking to. Really makes it seem like you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I hope you’re joking, but I did explicitly state that was not my intention.

Wow, just speedrunning Godwin’s Law, aren’t we?

I guess I’m going to go back to work and talk to my five LLM sessions that are working on different tickets.

Wasting all that extra water will certainly teach him a lesson.
