Title could be Old Man Yells At Cloud. I appreciate the subjective PoV, but there's not enough engagement with the real possibilities/economics/consequences etc. here to make this a worthy read.

> This technology is being peddled by terrible people who are rich and whose goal is to get richer. I don't really agree that this is the problem. I think it's much more than human nature interacting with powerful technology creates these "terrible people" and there's no way to not have this "terrible" set of phenotypes expressed when AI exists.
