    Their shitty little predictive text models aren’t any sort of serious threat to humanity, this fear mongering as all hype to sell LLMs by people feigning concern. Cheap marketing

    Mother fucker!

    Here’s the tldr: this tech, as it matures, could possibly cut the workload of the proletariat. Tech and government are going to make damn sure that surplus doesn’t go to us.
