It’s incredible how rich the well of AI critique is. Every day I come on here and read new, nuanced, takes that make perfect sense. Meanwhile the boosters seem to be working from the same pitch deck since day one.

Funny how our perspectives differ, I see the #antiai rhetoric increasingly departing reality.
Because the antagonists never use #Ai, at least consciously, they construct their own mythology. Which truth be told, is sometimes funny.

IMHO It's counter productive because activism to be credible, needs to be based on facts.

Fine, I’ll Write About AI

Hidden inside the "AI safety" and regulation debate is a threat to computational freedom.
