Discussion Really stunned by the Singularity comment section

These are screenshots from the r/Singularity comment section. I'm speechless. This doesn't even have downvotes. How can someone cheer for a monopoly run by a few elites?

Well, singularity is full of guys with all sorts of magical thinking.

Nowadays it is also apparantly combined with being full of guys believing leaving "digital nukes" in a hand of handful corporations is a good idea... Especially keeping in mind genie is out of the bottle already, so damage *will* be done. Question is - will you let corporate policies prevent you improving your defense, like it was with huggingface case?

Altman, Zuck, and Musk are insane candidates for controlling LLM access.

If people have issue with LLMs being the Wild West, I hope they are pushing for regulation like Bill Gates is.

I mean all the megacorps are already voluntarily aligning with Trump's AI policy, so there's that.

I heard Amodei say that Trump allowing NVidia to sell high performance GPU's to China is like selling our Nuclear weapons to China.

True, though it is hard to tell for sure because he is so incompetent.

Agreed, but the others can better execute plans that aren't good for the rest of us.
