- all2 5mo agoThis is like arguing we should only have manual looms because the mechanical looms suppress wages and destroy the livelihoods of those expert loom operators. The tech is here. We can fight it, or adapt and embrace it. If previous examples from the industrial revolution are anything to go by, fighting automation is a losing battle.

The big companies will ensure that smaller, specialised or open models get restricted by laws paid for by their lobbying budgets, so that they can pull up the ladder after them and solidify their position. They've invested billions and will never allow the world become some tech utopia where we all have a personalised free AI in our pocket, they will guarantee their own dominance.
