> my team’s goal is ultimately to make AI much cheaper and lower-latency, and I don’t think that’s good for people right now I have a lot of bones to pick with Google's morality, but "democratizing the transformer and LLMs" is at the bottom of my list.

Yet another AI fearmongering. These people are either deliberately posting shit like that to make AI seem more serious than it is now or they don’t they understand that it’s mostly marketing stunt.

Is it consuming too much science fiction that has people thinking like this?

Congratulations and commiserations. Perhaps a good thing to come out of these big companies over-indexing on "AI" is the liberation of creative minds. So many fantastic open source contributors have disappeared into corporate black holes...

I for one cannot be convinced that these companies saying they want to slow down AI progress is for the safety of mankind (or any other altruistic reason). However, I respect someone willing to give up a very comfortable career for his convictions.

More PR marketing disguised as reality. Does anyone actually believe this bullshit?

Crazy person. Each and every model since ten years ago has been labeled as dangerous. Jesus hates you.

Isn't AI just the next step in the history evolution? I have the feeling it is inevitable that a new species will take over earth. Just as humans took over a hundred thousand years ago. Now a species even more capable of thinking is coming up. Thinking a million times faster. Knowing a million times more. Able to wrap its head around a million times more aspects at the same time.
