"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
Richard Stallman was unreasonable. So was Linus Torvalds. I'm hoping that something wonderful and entirely human-centered will come out of the anti-AI movement, up to and including a bifurcation of the internet.

We know how this turns out, I don't see a lot of people joining the Amish. It's okay to have strong opinions (be "unreasonable"), but in the end humanity as a whole (the "reasonable" people) will judge whether your opinion is a good one or not. Only time will tell.

Plenty are on the sidelines, plenty dislike AI, and plenty don't care to drink the kool aid and would rather exercise empathy towards fellow humans than welcome the era of the robotic overlords and their billionaire masters. This place is an echo chamber and doesn't reflect the views of the vast majority.
