I've been flagging nearly every HN post that has anything to do with AI, even negative. The quicker we get "AI" out of our zeitgeist, the better. AI isn't even a solid term, the term "artificial intelligence" is almost 100 years old at this point, and the definition has changed so many times that it's a useless term.

ELIZA was "AI". But it didn't have the same level of societal damage. HAL 9000 was "AI". Games have "AI" for decades. But "AI" today has been coopted by corporations who seek to lock people into their AIaaS. Local LLMs exist, and I have a few models on my computer for fun. Those models still probably used more power than I would like to be generated. But I will never, ever, ever use cloud AI to even so much as ask a question. If there is a long-term future in AI, it's in local models

awesome so someone young like me who comes here for bleeding edge entrepreneurship and tech discussion, is getting that discussion stifled by a non-microsoft seattle fossil born in the late 60's. i bet you still drink starbucks too while flagging ai articles. why cant i engage in these discussions?

That's a whole lot of presumption about who I am, so much so that it deserves flagging. I'm not anywhere close to Redmond and you don't know me at all.

Pro tip: I live in Tennessee. Don't worry, you get to insult that state all you want. Fuck Tennessee.
