> when they should be fighting for independent development and universal access.
replyBecause it’s literally not going to happen. The existence of LLMs is a function of how much capital you have. Frontier models require so many resources to train and run that they are functionally inaccessible to the average person.
That’s why capital loves them! It’s a resources play.
You’re also conveniently leaving out all of the other negative aspects of LLMs/GenAI with regards to the arts, open communication, etc..
"they should be fighting for independent development and universal access". Well stated.

replyThat's why they call us "hackers," and they call you something else.
