As someone who has privacy concerns this is horrifying to me. Both companies have settled lawsuits for illegal use of data. I would be extremely upset to learn that anybody is passing my private information to these companies for any reason

I don't know what you mean when you say "by necessity be a loser" here. My point is that Meta and Google have had an almost comical resource advantage when compared to all of the rest of the firms in the AI race. Anthropic ra

Well imagine what it would be like to experience the experience of an LLM. Just imagine they are conscious for the time they are autogressing. Wouldn't it be like the experience of the Severed?

I don't know how I feel about this, conceptually. It's clear that social media are natural monopolies, and are being politically leveraged by the people who run them. So the status quo is definitely far from free speech. It's
