"sailing against the wind" is a very apt description of hardlining Yuddite philosophy when your company's models got maybe 20% better in the past two years (original GPT4 is still the best model I've dealt with to this day), while local models got 1000% better.

we should all thank G-d these people weren't around during the advent of personal computing and the internet - we'd have word filters in our fucking text processors and publishing something on the internet would require written permission from your local DEI commissar.

arrogance, pure fucking hubris brought about by the incomprehensibly stupid assumption that they will get to be the stewards of this technology.

we should all thank G-d similar people have been generally in charge of bioengineering and nuclear development labs else we'd have... err nothing. We'd have pretty much nothing at all.

nukes are an excellent example, actually! for how many years did the US maintain its monopoly on nuclear weapons, pray tell?

Well nukes continue to be very difficult to download off the Internet or to rent access to via a web browser.

I haven't seen anyone advocate that the US government needs to be the only entity able to use AI, but if you have, you knocked their socks off with that one.
