The only reasonable position is zero tolerance: the AI industry must end sooner rather than later. It is culturally, socially, environmentally, and economically destructive, and all the Silicon Valley marketing in the world isn't going to make it otherwise.

There are many people who simply do not understand the stakes and either understate or overstate them. The issue is not that AI will replace writers or w/e: it can't. The issue is that AI will make our working conditions significantly worse and harm the development of new artists in our fields.

There’s a growing belief in the industry that home computers are redundant, and we should move to dumb terminals with memory and processing and AI assistance existing server-side.

It’s the Enclosure Movement for home computing.

Space doesn't really have a temperature and also it's a vacuum, so can't use convection. Anything pointed towards the sun gets super hot, anything pointed away from it gets close to absolute zero. Thermal management of data center magnitude in space is unfeasible

You're right, having correct opinions on surveillance tech *is* fun. Cheap snarky comments on the other hand? Way less fun!
