Nothing of value was lost, my ass. What about all the medical breakthroughs already discovered with AI? Nothing of value was lost, is what people with no creativity or vision for the future say.

Everything we use today went through the same trials of hate and fear. The car, the iPhone, even the television all were hated and feared when they were invented. Yet, they all survived and so will AI. Embrace it or get out of the way.

Yeah I get it #Mastodon hates #AI, but I don't!

But fuck #Crypto, that shit is literal air.

“Embrace it or get out of the way” is terrifying for multiple demographics I’m in, and more, in so many ways.

Either we all get a liveable future worth living or none of us do.

@MxVerda OK that may have been a tad abrasive. I don't and didn't mean it like that.

Gen AI is here. There is nothing anyone can do to reverse this. So my statement meant that people should learn to help rather than blindly blocking progress. All the haters see is the power consumption requirements right now. Not a single one has offered a solution or even a fraction of one.

When I supplied a link filled with a few citations and some follow up suggestions at the bottom, I was hoping to encourage some to join the conversation. Instead, they attack me and the citations I didn't author. For those people, yes, they should get out of the way.
