Readit News "I strongly feel that AI is an insult to life itself." - Hayao Miyazaki
So that's definitely a misquote, though I wouldn't be surprised if Miyazaki dislikes AI.
This paragraph really pisses me off and I'm not sure why.
> Critics have already written thoroughly about the environmental harms
Didn't google just prove there is little to no environmental harm, INCLUDING if you account for training?
> the reinforcement of bias and generation of racist output
Im uneducated here, honestly. I don't ask a lot of race-based questions to my LLMS I guess
>the cognitive harms and AI supported suicides
There is constant active rhetoric around the sycophancy, and ways to reduce this, right? OpenAI just made a new benchmark specifically for this. I won't deny it's an issue but to act like it's being ignored by the industry is a miss completely.
>the problems with consent and copyright
This is the best argument on the page imo, and even that is highly debated. I agree with "AI is performing copyright infringement" and see constant "AI ignores my robots.txt". I also grew up being told that ANYTHING on the internet was for the public, and copyright never stopped *me* from saving images or pirating movies.
Then the rest touches on ways people will feel about or use AI, which is obviously just as much conjecture as anything else on the topic. I can't speak for everyone else, and neither can anyone else.
Finally, the c-suite is getting it.
Imagine being paid generational wealth, and then the house of cards comes crashing down a couple of months later.

Interest rates are one of the biggest factors, because of how they create indirect pressure on cash availability (which is the whole point of raising interest rates).
Everyone is bracing for tariff recession as well, which may cause a lot of investment capital flight.
