Why AI really is dangerous to Society...
'what we are witnessing is the wealthiest companies in history... unilaterally seizing the sum total of human knowledge that exists in digital, scrapable form and walling it off inside propriety products, many of which will take direct aim at the humans whose lifetime of labor trained the machines without giving permission or consent.'

@wellingtonrock I take a different view. LLM's tell you what they think you want to hear. They have no idea as to what reality is. They do not care about veracity. These companies have automated sycophancy, because that is their view of humanity. They think people exist to inflate their sorry egos.
Will this make real advances in science, technology, etc.? No. It just increases their pipe dream that they are giants.
There was a time (I would say ending in the 1990's) when tech was addressing real problems and making advances. At some point (tied to finance taking over the world economy), it just became money grubbing and devolved into a pile of excrement.
