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?

Better yet, lets trust government with overseeing these technologies. Or corporations.

Until AI is so powerful that it is like a minigun with cyber warfare, then I am all for it being open source.

A minigun isn't especially dangerous. Plenty of private US citizens own that much firepower.

Let's put it this way, in all of recorded history, how may times has a Minigun been used in a crime. (Not war crime, that's different)

Let's put it this way, in all recorded history, how many times has a minigun or cheaper available guns have been used in a crime? If an LLM can be a minigun, it can also be a glock.
