The sheer, naked arrogance of these execs, man

They're so used to all of their sycophants around them clapping like seals at everything they say, they can't even begin to understand why other people wouldn't like what they're pushing

We can't be rid of them soon enough

He would have been dumbstruck if there hadn't been two or three similar headlines in the last two weeks. He knew this would happen and he had his canned snarky retort ready.

The smug grins on all their faces is what gets me. They are absolutely giddy at the opportunity to enrich themselves at everyone else’s expense, and they are so insular and protected from us that they feel no danger outwardly admitting it.

If you want the other perspective (I don't agree with what I'm about to say) just:

Somehow one of the most fascinating aspects of LLMs is that they were able to basically both reveal corporate capitalism as primarily being about virtualized feudalism, and also casually ruin the entire world, just by their ability to generate decently grammatically correct English.

Why is it that all of these bigheaded corpo type people react to "anti-AI" sentiments with this strongman crap?

Are they surprised that people, especially young people who are going to head into the world to try to make their way, are NOT supportive of the idea they'll just be eternal slaves, or even unemployed nuisances, to feudal lords?

The whole fucking point of this system is for it to support people. "They" need to remember that or they're going to be reminded of it. Capitalism was cool as an evolutionary step but it's pretty fucking clear we're going to need another innovation here sometime soon.

Well your other options are Marxism or Star Trek replicators. I'd choose the latter.

Imagine telling a bunch of people who are tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and are unable to find employment that the very reason they can’t find unemployment is the future. And then they freak out when people start pushing back.

We've seen this before. google ceo also met with boos about AI at a commencement.

It's simple: AI threatens jobs/careers and paychecks. And, we've built an entire society that requires you to have a paycheck just to live. So, of course people are going to boo AI.
