"it's inevitable don't fight it".
Did you get that right from Altman?
What a ridiculous strawman.
By all means do something but make sure that the thing you are doing is effective and isn't wasting time while simultaneously making life more difficult for other people.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
How else can you learn to fight unless you fail along the way?
We have tried sane washing billion dollar companies while they loot all our available knowledge, art, and culture to sell back to us in the form of a garbage chat or that helps destroy the planet.
Now an anonymous blogger has given them a wonderful example of how to use disabled people to further their goals of that again, include selling back to us, our very own knowledge, art, and culture.
Nah you can miss me with this shit. I'm done.
This blogger literally ends by saying they believe all publicly available knowledge will end up free and accessible to anyone.
Is this blogger high? Do we now think the companies building a mass surveillance state are going to give us things for free?
Discouraging fighting in any form now is trying to discourage the anti AI movement. Sorry about it.
What are you talking about perfect being the enemy of good. Yup this isn't in marginally effective solution, it's an utterly ineffective solution.
That houses on fire and your train to claim that pouring salt all over the place is going to have any effect. Not only is the fire completely ignoring your efforts but you're also getting in the way.
If you don't want AI companies downloading your data don't upload it to the internet.
