       @asie I think, fundamentally, that a tool mimicking a cheap, very fast and very enthusiastic intern is a no-brainer, and the only considerations are the cost and any moral issues. Cost isn't high and moral issues are mostly made up by people mad that their jobs are being automated, so increasing adoption is only the matter of time and people realising they're fighting windmills.

       I've just realised two things:1. AI luddites are essentially vegans in both reasoning and attitude to life.2. I've seen *much* less vegan evangelism since the anti-AI evangelism started.Are they just the exact same people happy they can be mad about something else? Is the Venn diagram of vegans and AI luddites just a circle?

       @icedquinn I think I am, I've seen the term "AI luddites" used many times and it describes them very well.

       @icedquinn of course anyone wanting to use automation to centralise control will try to equate people against the former with people against the latter, as it makes them look ridiculous. Doesn't change the fact that in both cases the luddite movement is founded by workers whose jobs are getting automated crying that the entirety of society will benefit at the cost of them having to find a different job.

       @icedquinn all automation of work is a major benefit to society. If anyone manages to actually monopolise this automation then the consequences outweigh the positive effect of automation, but in the case of the original luddites this didn't happen and now an average person can have more than like 3 outfits total thanks to industrialised production of textiles. It's not looking like this time it's gonna go differently. But either way, luddites are the "muh jobs" people, not those rightfully worried about over-centralisation.

       @technolyze damn, I didn't get the memo that if I support the technology I also have to be an idiot giving everything away to random tech CEOs. Was it passed along with the memo that all open source models and all AI companies other than the big bad ones suddenly disappeared overnight and are impossible to bring back?@icedquinn
