'Look at what terrible horrible things this game company is doing now,' and the actual information is entirely speculation/rumor-based.
The world feels like a flaming mess as it is, I don't need anyone imagining more ugliness, thank you.

I can live with that, especially as I've read AI researchers and developers lament about how bad LLM is for the field as a whole.

I second this- and not evenly, either. Let different areas develop their own technologies and innovations, then disperse it like stains on cloth. The less travel and communication, the slower things disperse.
