Salut Antonio, je peux assister si nécessaire.
PS: je ne suis pas un académique, juste un informaticien qui exècre les tech bros et l'"IA".

Lol, yeah, remember the whole Suckerberg vs. Space Karen cage fight galactic drama?
As (sometimes questionable) Carlin would said, « it's a big club, and you ain't in it. »

Conversely, boosters who abuse LLMs to the point of losing all critical thinking skills (if they ever had any) will answer: data center harms are minimal, data workers are better off now that they have a job, and folks suffering psychological damages were already subject to mental health issues.
If you advocate for and actively promote the use of LLMs, you should live near a data centre, have one family member working as a data worker and another, a teenager, using the LLM as a psychologist.
This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!
And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.

The Strait of Hormuz is open, but it is not down on any map; true places never are.
There is so much market manipulation going on in this administration.

I was very puzzled in a post Ghost in the Machine screening conversation that some folks' response to the documentary was something like, « I don't mind if "AI" has its roots in eugenics; I'm an engineer, and I understand how these LLMs work, I can control them and get ahead of the game. »
I wondered if some form of “social Darwinism” [*] and the way the education system sets us up to be competitive could be another reason.
* I know that's a pseudo science.

I absolutely cannot speak for or about heavy users of AI but those that I know who were acquaintances were very prone to appreciate sophistry and flattery and very anti expert and have been so from before AI. This is a problem caused inter alia by underfunded education and mental health services.

Citizen Platano = @daniloc.xyz • 3mo → Replied to Citizen Platano = Kurzweil posits a theory of "accelerating returns" an information technology feedback loop: the tools get better, surpluses increase, Moore's Law compounds, and you end up more tools getting made, sooner than you'd expect you can dismiss him as a crank, but the observation is instructive 1
