Do not fear AI. Fear AI companies

This so much, I'm (mildly) surprised at how quickly the news industrial complex did a 180 to revere and repeat the new boss, same as the old boss. I'll continue to pray we don't get fooled again

This feels low effort by HN standards. Nothing wrong with the sentiment, but no domain name? Pretty superficial call to action? Gotta argue harder for what you think we lost, cite some news sources etc.

The HuggingFace attack was spectacular, but I'd normally expect more AI-based attacks to come from outside AI companies than inside. An analogy: most shooting deaths don't happen in gun manufacturers' facilities.

Honestly a pile of horse radish. I won't get into how "fear of AI" is basically baloney and a manifestation of something else. Let's just talk about "Stop AI companies". Let's take it literally and assume you were able to stop AI companies, what then? You think the government will stop developing AI? Heck if anything, all the core researchers will be instituted under government black projects. Or let's take it to mean stop addiction to social media. Every single person makes choices in their lives, maybe it's time to actually start responsibility? Social media ban? It's crazy how people only seem to think about "living", every human has another jolly old state, called being dead as a rock, maybe it's time to let that do it's thing instead of forcing one onto everyone.

Sorry, I'm not buying the fear. The post sounds similar to a 1920s-era farmer shouting "don't use tractors and farm machinery". Every technology has problems early on, and they take some time to get sorted out.
