Do not fear AI. Fear AI companies

    This feels low effort by HN standards. Nothing wrong with the sentiment, but no domain name? Pretty superficial call to action? Gotta argue harder for what you think we lost, cite some news sources etc.

      i was worried an appeal to non-technical folks (i avoided even invoking the name "LLM" to avoid confusion) might be a little basic for the HN crowd, but honestly im not on any social media and I really just have this place to post stuff. I tried reddit but good lord lol

      it may not land for you, but hopefully itll land for others. im just fucking tired and trying to do what i can out here.

      i am interested in your suggestion to argue harder for what I feel we have lost. any ideas around that youd like to share?

        This landed for me. I wonder though if we aren’t giving a pass to the companies who pay the AI companies to replace their employees.

          thanks for the validation

          i did touch only lightly on it with "Boycott their customers.". i had written a whole thing about greed and "the greedy men who profit by using AI to replace humans", but it seemed to muddle the focus on the peddlers of the product.

          ill find a way to write more about the greed that motivates business owners to choose AI over humans. they certainly deserve to be called out.
