Completely fair, and I definitely agree with your point.

I did. As well written as it is, I don’t think the premise of “the REAL doomers were the CEOs!” is going to spread far enough to dethrone the present, much more popular understanding of what an AI doomer is. It didn’t seem worth addressing. We’ll see though; perhaps every time someone says “AI doomer” on Lemmy, some wag will reply with, “Um a-kually, I think you’ll find the tech CEOs are the real doomers, LOL.”

As to the the notion that the dangers these techbros have released are now coming home to roost: it’s overstated. In my opinion, the techbros will continue not to give the merest shit about the harms they’ve caused, and one misguided soul with a molly isn’t going to change that – or bring back all the dead people LLMs contributed to killing. Will it increase the CEO’s feelings of paranoia? My dude, the wealthy are already maximally paranoid.

LLMs are responsible for more deaths than doomers are.

Trust in AI has killed far more people than the backlash against AI.

Good luck, Columbro 🙄

Wait, so Firefox is switching to (web)Kit?

Also the “wrap it in a damp paper towel” technique can help rejuvenate bread, muffins, and flour tortillas too!

I also bake brownies and cupcakes in the microwave and they come out pretty good!

Absolutely true, but executives kind of understand prompts whereas they don’t understand programming at all.

Surprise surprise. If you go through Techdirt’s archives, you can see Mike Masnick has spent thousands of words losing his shit any and every time Facebook has faced ANY criticism. I don’t know if he has a financial interest in them (like he does with Bluesky) but the moment someone suggests reining them in, here comes Masnick to defend one of the richest, most lawyer-ed up companies around.
