Define computer coding as a human art-form. ... as it is for many. Then the evil of LLM-generated computer code becomes  obvious. Define generating natural landscapes, personal portraits  and cityscapes as a human art-form. Then the evil of LLM-generated paintings becomes obvious. Define the 6-speed gear-train for a Ford-Pony as an industrial product. Then CNC-machining becomes obvious. Need I continue ?  Greed & over-reach never substitute for good judgement.

Actually censorship is an active tool of progressive tyranny. Since kommi concepts  ( and the disfigured humans who support it ) are false-at-root they need be defended not by by logic or a free-market of ideas, but  ...  by enforced silence if possible and indoctrination of children as desired. Think of it: in kommi countries <Dr. Zhivago>  becomes a "sin", <In Praise of Folly> "blasphemy" ,   <What Man has Made of Man> a "hate-crime"  & <Better Trading> "apostasy". Lefties / progressives / socialists / Trotsky-sluts all breath censorship  like a mammal breaths air.

Submission + - Industry financed political hitmen push AI/LLM agenda (politico.com)

noshellswill writes: Lawmakers supporting government controls on AI/LLM systems are explicitly being hunted. Operatives like Zac Moffatt and Josh Vlasto — one a Republican, the other Democrat — financed by IT companies through PACs throw millions of dollars into campaign funding to advance those candidates rejecting AI control , and against those supporting legal constraints. No concern for actual "value" of AI for industry or individual users. The LLM-folks are directly grasping for political power damn the consequences.

Nuclear "fanatics" remember how cold winter was 15-K BP and are damned if they will tolerate that suffering again. Likewise the remaining "reptile brain" remembers those blazing-hot eons when even being a lizard required gallons of sun-screen ... AC is not just nice but a scream of human vengeance against Gaia and her minions. Which is a poetic way of saying prudent humans want control over their environment, and that boils down to generating lots of  bullet-proof energy. The only know bullet-proof solution is multiple energy sources ... in this post-modern era --->  hydro & coal, oil & nuclear, wind and solar, geothermal & tidal  ... only the multiplicity ( and excess supply ) ensures human well-being and progress.

Useless  personal intuition ... until somebody tries starting a fire by rubbing Teflon over brass. Or builds rubber  rocket-stage connectors that become brittle at cold temperatures ... I mean who needs to personally  generate the concept of friction ...  or phase-change ...eh?  Do not use the word dystopian lightly, but the LLM data-masters and their butt-buddies  are hell-bent on such a future.

Not just bullshite ... these data-mongers are serious  well-financed psychopaths,  hell-bent on monopolizing the human data-environment. They are perfectly capable and willing to poison all human information exchange to permit their monopoly as the "last-man-standing". OPENAI software claims of rampage are  just one mechanism for that poisoning. The data=-center buy-out / buy-up of personal computer components reflects the same aim. DIY? Hell no they shot!  Remove data-processing hardware from the public domain until only THEY are the last-man-standing with hardware systems. How should the yeomanry respond ? Rather than burning-down data-factories or fire-bombing private islands, the rational consumer/user can simply refuse to pay-for the monopolist data-products. Starve them out ... watch them whine ... then simper ... then scream for federal bailout as they 'melt like tears-in-rain. Time to die'.

Never "classless", but also  -- in the colonial period -- a flattened hierarchy. Probably colonial American workmen were the best paid in the entire world. Lots of imported money chasing few (skilled)  workers.   USA now has its own wealthy, to be "milked"; Strictly limit population growth  and hardware imports to America. Not so much unions as workers treated financially  as "stockholders". Force home-grown capitol to chase home-grown labor. Only Marxist agendistas whine when an under-populated yeomanry have two pork-chops with every cabbage,  a 4-barrel Chevy Impala and clear-running trout streams open to the commons.

I understand our government runs a data-base assigning a tailored  killer-drone to every citizen of Russia. Kinda like a Clippy, but one that blows apart your spine. Such a large detailed DB needs the attention and care of a serious  operator with  social skills parallel  to Ellison.  /snark

Self-discipline is not just "nice", but a condition of survival and foundation of improved well-being. A stable  society and prudent citizens do not want dependent febs/fools  flooding the local environs. Unprovoked weakness thru natural causes already demands huge concerted efforts to control ( see medical costs in a modern society ) . Tolerating ill-disciplined individuals quickly results in a death-spiral of financial despair and cultural fragmentation.
