Fuck AI

We need skeptics to push back against these insanely wealthy business people who think that we’ll just take their word for things that that they then actively undermine in favor of profits and products that will not benefit society or make up for the intellectual theft that was required to build them. Ignoring or pretending these issues don’t exist does not make them go away.

Giving blind faith and loyalty to a company that does not care about you is how we get nefarious and self-centered powerhouses like google and facebook. Companies that large, that can influence the entire world on a whim, should not exist. If more people had listened to those of us sounding the alarms about these companies years ago, we might have saved ourselves a lot of grief.

I’d just ask that you take a step back, think about the motivations of the people you hold in such high regard, and allow skeptics the space to keep conversations like this going, before it’s too late.
