        This is an incredible read, i haven’t finished it yet but I can’t believe these are all new arguments to these people.

        e: I got through some of the comments, no, they’ve heard the arguments but their counter arguments are being filtered through a willfully incorrect version of reality

      Also, Altman and Amodei should be put in jail. Banning chatbots probably wouldn’t hurt either

    Yeah, they want to prevent independent AI use such as local models so you have to buy their product.
