I fear the title of this article is going drive most of the conversation. I haven’t read through the whole thing yet, but so far the parts of the argument I can pull out are about how Institutions actually work, as in a collection of humans

The first weakness of your claim is that it is inherently one of the elite. You read the works of the cognitive elite, when they support AI. When most people sing its praises, it’s from the highest echelons of white collar work priesthood.

The marketing hype is economy defining at this point, so calling it overblown is an understatement. Simplifying the hype into 2 threads, the first is that AI is an existential risk and the second is the promise of “reliable intelligence”. T

You are conflating two things here - business models and sustainable operations. Even NGOs can be said to have "business models" in the sense that it was being used here. It doesn't have to be profitable, but it has to at lea

This position is suitable, for the 1990s. Even then, the BBC showed that public journalism != propaganda. In fact, the evidence is that if you build institutions, you can actually have very effective public options. However, in the current

If a power tool blows up regularly, they get sued or there is a recall. We have far more serious rules at play for harm when it comes to physical goods which we have experience with, than generative tools. There is no reason generative tool

The self reinforcing prophecy of “somebody else’s job”. It’s the job of politicians to pander to us, the good voter. Since they didn’t offer us something good, we didn’t vote, and that results in this current situation. Politics is not my j

Do not mistake indicators by using them for things they do not measure. There’s a lot of work being done by the term “all other things being equal” when using a measure like GDP. I don’t think we are in times when all else is equal.

LLM content generation is divorced from human limitations and human scale. Using human foibles when discussing LLM scale issues is apples and oranges.
