  I'd like to remind everybody that in the movie introducing rogue AI (2001: A Space Odyssey) the rogue AI is stopped by someone pulling the plug (slowly and in stages, but it's still plug-pulling). In the plug-pulling scene the plug-puller encounters no resistance, because AI's don't have bodies.

  Honestly I think one reason why LLMs are popular with programmers is that it feeds gear acquisition syndrome, to use a photography term

  It’s fascinating how some corners of the “Libre Software” movement has no problems with and even eagerly align themselves with fascism. If free software is more important to you than people, you’re doing it wrong.
