Technology

We know what “AI” can do.

• Create one of the largest and most dangerous economic bubbles in history.
• Be a massive contributor to the climate catastrophe.
• Consume unfathomable amounts of resources like water, destroying the communities that need them.
• Make personal computing unaffordable. (And eventually any for of offline computing; if it's up to these bastards we'll end up back with only mainframes and dumb terminals, with them controlling the mainframes).
• Promote mass surveillance and constant erosion of privacy.
• Replace search engines making it impossible to find trustworthy information on the Internet.
• Destroy the open web by drowning it on useless slop.
• Destroy open source by overwhelming the maintainers with unusable slop.
• Destroy the livelihood of artists and programmers using their own stolen works as training data, without providing a useable replacement for the works they would have produced.
• Infect any code they touch with such an amount of untraceable bugs that it becomes unusable and dangerous (see windows updates since they replaced their programmers with copilot, for instance.
• Support the parasitic billionaire class and increase the wealth divide even more.
• Make you look like a monstrous moronic asshole for supporting all that shit.

It maybe being able to save you five minutes of coding in exchange for several hours of debugging (either by you or by whoever is burdened with your horrible slop) is not worth being an active contributor to all that monstrous harm on humanity and the world.
