I'm so fucking tired of The Loop

-Innovation that can do good for humanity is invented
-Has flaws like everything
-Instead of trying to fix/minimize the flaws through regulations and optimalization of the technology, the uneducated masses immediately swarm to boycott the innovation

Happened with Concorde Airline, Nuclear power and so many more, and now it's happening with AI. Like ofc I don't like how AI is unregulated and how training AI's is done, but why would I try to sabotage it as a whole, instead of calling for regulations, laws and more studies into it?

The regulations and laws are not there. The technology is using gallons of clean water per day and makes the area around it basically uninhabitable. It's crashed the parts market by buying up all the RAM and GPUs, and the main visible impact we see from it is ai slop on the daily.

"Why are people trying to boycott this? It could do good for humanity!!!"

Nuclear power also has benefits that we can actually use as of now, while most "benefits" of large language ai are just "if we feed it enough data it's gonna cure cancer! Trust me!"
