Glyph@PaulM @mjg59 At this point I am too nervous about the risks to actually touch one for anything non-trivial, and I think everyone should refrain from their use for ethical and safety reasons. One pretty robust argument in that discussion is "they're most likely actually an economic drain, even if they seem useful". But this is a tenuous argument that might become false at any moment, and if I'm not using them I won't know when that moment is.
ariProduction of all hardware, building and operation of all data centres are huge environmental issues, and while human activity was certainly extremely polluting even before that, the whole content generating stuff comes on top of that.
This idiotically might not concern companies like your employer.
But content generation models shift power to those who own them.
This might also not concern your employer, but if it's a SW corp they're externalising their core product
