Sounds like you just want some of their money.
Yes, especially since they're talking about wiping about most or all white-collar jobs in our lifetimes. What's wrong with that?
On that note they say oil is dead dinosaurs, maybe have a word with Saudi Arabia...
Perhaps things would work out better if people didn't say mean things regardless of who it's about. You can still criticise without being mean.
Explain how to nicely criticize computer software that allows for the generation of sexually explicit images of children.

Why drag your dead ancestors into the debate? On that note they say oil is dead dinosaurs, maybe have a word with Saudi Arabia...
Viewed from historical perspective, big tech is really reaping the benefits of the intellectual wealth accumulated over many thousands of years by humanity collectively. This should be recognized to find a better path forward.

Open source models are available at highly competitive prices for anyone to use and are closing the gap to 6-8 months from frontier proprietary models.
There doesn't appear to be any moat.
This criticism seems very valid against advertising and social media, where strong network effects make dominant players ultra-wealthy and act like a tax, but the AI business looks terrible, and it appears that most benefits are going to accrue fairly broadly across the economy, not to a few tech titans.

Is there a reason you seem to view conscience and confronting facts as seemingly opposed things? Also it seems to me like morality and conscience seem important to argue about, with facts just being part of that argument.
I think that someone interested in discussing facts would not write the phrase "immoral technofascist life". If I took the discussion at face value, I might respond asking for examples of how e.g. Dario Amodei is a "technofascist", but I think we can agree that would be really obtuse of me.
