Let me be clear about what I think: I have zero fear of an AI apocalypse. I think the fear is part of the scam.

The danger I see is related to psychological effects caused by humans using LLMs on other humans. And I don't think that's a scenario anyone is giving much attention to, and it's not that bad (it's bad, but not world end bad).

I totally think we should all build it. To be trained from scratch on cheap commodity hardware, so that a lot of people can _really_ learn it and quickly be literate on it. The only true way of democratizing it. If it's not that way, it's a scam.

I think we fear the same things, roughly. My fear is what humans do with any tech we create. Where we differ is that I would prefer things not be built. After a lifetime of watching what we actually do with the things we create, I think we need a bit of a “time out”. Just my 2 cents that won’t change a thing!

It's already built. It's just not that impressive.

We need to completely own it and remove the control these shady companies have over it.

Karpathy says nothing changed in 70 years of software. Something very important did: free software.
