Like the Luddites of two centuries ago, pundits tell us to fear AI because it might put people out of work and create mass unemployment. But AI is not a threat to our jobs, unlike the regulation the government unleashes ostensibly to control AI.

    Can we just talk about the article rather than attacking the publisher? I’m interested in your thoughts on the actual points made.

      Broadly he’s not wrong. A lot of proposed regulations will strengthen incumbent companies, especially in the short term.

      But I also still think AI is a bubble. Lobbying is the only thing keeping it afloat and it’s yet to show concrete returns outside of the narrow areas that AI is actually good at.

      I think the future of AI is still pattern recognition and discreet neural nets performing specific tasks. I think LLMs are a dead end.
