That is the impression I have, as well - same with the flagging-based ideological censorship I'm seeing here. That being said, I'm trying to assume good faith - as the guidelines here call for as well.

To be fair, Gnome has made some questionable UX decisions - including this one.

There's a saying in German that roughly translates to "When two are fighting, the third benefits." This'll end up being the case here as well. While the US and China battle fiercely, the EU will be the only safe haven fo

In my eyes, yes. If we had some sort of post-money utopia where the machines would do the work and we could all just do whatever we wanted, AI would be great. But as-is, we'll have a dystopia where AI will allow the rich to hoard ever

It takes a lot of character to admit you were wrong and see the error of your ways. Congrats!

It's time to realize that our "industry leaders" are bad people who are actively enabling fascism in the pursuit of personal power.

Remember, they made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm. It's ridiculous how the US has gone downhill since.

That's a fair point. I think GPU clusters are the big one, the rest sounds like a good fit for volunteer work.

But if you don't get paid a penny, unless you're born into wealth, you will need to do some other endavour for most of your day if you don't want to starve. The point is that all that's going to be left to do to prevent

That's all fine and dandy, but in our capitalist system, we have to do something monetizable to be able to survive, unless we were lucky enough to be born into wealth. AI is taking away all enjoyable avenues to do so.

That is the capitalist dystopia we live in. I don't like it either. If we lived in a post-capitalist society, AI wouldn't be the threat it is.
