    Ai is literally making people dumber:

    And books destroyed everyone’s memory. People used to have fantastic memories.

    They are a massive privacy risk:

    No different than the rest of cloud tech. Run your AI local like your other self hosting.

    Are being used to push fascist ideologies into every aspect of the internet:

    Hitler used radio to push fascism into every home. It’s not the medium, it’s the message.

    And they are a massive environmental disaster:

    AI uses a GPU just like gaming uses a GPU. Building a new AI model uses the same energy that Rockstar spent developing GTA5. But it’s easier to point at a centralized data center polluting the environment than thousands of game developers spread across multiple offices creating even more pollution.

    Stop being a corporate apologist

    Run your own AI! Complaining about “corporate AI” is like complaining about corporate email. Host it yourself.

      Run your own AI!

      Oh sure, let me just pull a couple billion out of the couch cushions to spin up a data center in the middle of the desert.

        Comments like this remind me of all the blockchain hate. People with no idea what they were talking about inventing justifications for hating something they were unwilling to understand. There are so many legitimate reasons to criticize both and people still make shit up on the fly.
