The people who are the most difficult to discuss AI with are those whose careers and future prospects (whether real or imagined) rely on it being the next Internet. It must be successful, otherwise they're the guy who lost everything on crypto — and that, by default, makes you their mortal enemy.
"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?"
Because folks don't actually want to discuss AI, they want blind submission to the ideological structures that motivate the contemporary use cases and deployments of AI. They don't want to hear the concerns except to dismiss them out of hand.

Remember how the all lives matter crowd was silent for Renee Good?
See how the 2A crowd is quiet for Alex Pretti and his legally registered firearm?
Is this not incontrovertible proof that all their previous arguments have always been absolutely full of shit?

I should just block anyone who thinks LLMs are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Tired of every new model release getting a torrent of comments like our dreams and livelihoods are all dead while showing a butchered, lifeless “game” stolen from an image on Reddit.

What is going on is pretty clear:
None of the other AI execs are speaking out against ICE because hurting Trump’s feelings might jeopardize any government contracts, especially in a field like AI where they are gonna need as much government support as possible when shit hits the fan.

Part of the struggle with the LLM discourse is that genuine (i.e. non-grifter) proponents talk exclusively about the possibilities of the transformer architecture in an ideal future with a rational business model.
Whereas opponents largely talk about the world we live in today, and its constraints.

What many of us have been saying for a while: AI*-related technologies are tools like any other technology, useful in some places, not in others. If it had been presented (and funded) as such, we'd be in a better place.
Instead, tech ideologues pushed AI* as the Second Coming, went all-in on it. /1

Insights from Ben Affleck on AI:
• AI can help write scenes but can't create full movies.
• Job loss fears are overblown because adoption of new tech is slow; it's hype for startup valuations.
• ChatGPT v5 is ~25% better but costs 4x.
• Users actually preferred v4's sycophancy for companionship.

Well, one of those was a law passed by Congress to help people, and the other is an unconstitutional power grab, but yes, otherwise the same.
