Iran gives warnings before targeting data centers.

The US blows up schools without warning.

"Are we the baddies?"

Yup

China is a major developer of AI, so that's obviously a very stupid take. They would have to bomb themselves first.

Oh look, coward does a libel.

Why do you maggots keep at this when we all know your orange messiah is a child rapist?

local LLMs aren't there yet and probably won't for the forseable future for ordinary people. If you want to run a full model like DeepSeek v4.1 Flash, you need something like half a TB of RAM.

The open-source LLMs are a different threat: They enable a service industry independent of the large players. I could today get some venture capital, rent a few racks in a hosting center, install a bunch of beefy machines and offer the same service as Claude or ChatGPT, just on an open-source model. The differences in benchmarks are becoming irrelevant for 95% of common use cases. And if I can offer that service for $19/m while OpenAI wants $29/m then OpenAI has a problem.

And IMHO this is the chinese strategy: Undermine the US AI industry by breaking its business model.

Has everyone gone insane or are we witnessing a major PsyOps ?

Since AI isn't magical, for it to be able to "kill all humans", it would have to be able to acquire the means to do so. Which means that these already exist. It means someone is able to do it right now. And we're chill with that, but worried about AI?

No doubt a bunch of autonomous weapon systems linked into a C&C could cause considerable bloodshed. Given that most of the existing weapon systems of that kind are essentially suicide drones, it'll still be limited damage.

Human-killing virus? Still need a means of creating and delivering it.
Nuclear war? We have humans in the loop.
Drive us all insane with AI-slop TikToks? A few percent of humanity still don't use that.

So what is the actual scenario ? When someone shouts "AI will kill us all", why don't we ask them "how, exactly" ?

False. People on both sides ranted about the Epstein files during the Biden administration, now maggots have gotten suspiciously quiet, even the ones who haven't obviously suffered massive brain damage and have to be wheeled around making taxidermy turtle faces.

I just hope it didn't cost you any tokens.

You are a clown every day.

It won't help in any way because the pictures are sent home for more processing.

Casks leak. There is a whole industry around dealing with it. Deal with it.

Oh, you peaked in high school? You can stick your high school level understanding of economics up your ass next to your junior high school understanding of reproductive biology and your utter lack of ethics.

Moving the goalposts from detectable to significant. Pick a lane.

The data went from being in the cloud to being in the clouds

They don't need a reason.

I was going to say it's an excuse instead, but they don't need that either
