    As long as it’s free, like the rest of the internet, I kind of want AI to work.

    How could we kill commercial AI and keep Free AI?

      I don’t think ai will ever be neutral/benevolent. It’s too easy for fascists and the like to try and manipulate matters through it.

      I personally would rather see it go away or at the very least take a backseat.

      Reddit has been trying to block crawlers, including the internet archive, so they can sell their data to commercial AI companies.

      Except for legal liability, the other solution is good-enough models too cheap to run locally to justify paying hosting. Like prepackaged stand-alone AI on-site servers which are cheaper after electric costs than subscriptions.
