Thanks for apologizing.

I definitely understand where you are coming from, although I do think there is a Luddite-esque angle that attempts to reject "AI" as bad because of the LLM hype and the negative uses pushed by capitalists. "AI" is already putting people out of work and being used in a lot of industries, some of which (like medicine) are actually really promising, and others are pretty terrible.

Either way, ending capitalism is the only way to ensure that there is any future where the technology is a net positive.

I do think that with the rate of climate collapse, there's a good chance we won't see it reach the point of being advanced enough to be liberating.
