If it wasn't for companies gate keeping, buying up all the compute, putting an huge load on our infrastructure, people and government using it to surveil its people I would be more supportive of it. But right now, you got to be insane to be supporting this technology. Its literally being used to do more harm than good. I don't see any end to this. I cannot and will not support a surveillance state in the name of progress.

I don’t think “supporting” a technology or not has the same effect as supporting a political position or lack thereof. You can be pro-AI and pro regulation of AI.

You’re right, there’s no end of things that are legal (except by making those things illegal).

Not in this climate. The laws are being circumvented by criminals. Everything is different now. You can tell yourself all you want that its ok to support a technology that is being used to enslave us, but its not going to change the outcome, we are still being harmed by people that have control over the technology.

The best thing to do right now is to stop supporting the tech where its being used by corporations that are in the business of harming the people by there actions and inaction.

Not that I disagree with you, but the dangerous part is rogue government. No amount of anti-AI will make up for a government not working for the good of its people.

		By not using the tech within the context of the deployments by OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft (and Anthropic?), where it places the most harm on people, and letting people know why, it will wake people up to the harm corporations and government are causing. AI tech, in the hands of criminals is exactly the place where the dissent should start and voicing support against it is the place we can gain an edge of how the tech is being used as a vehicle to drive the harms. Its as good of a place as any to start.
