I don't want to be talking about AI either. I've been doing that for 12 years now, damn. You think you're over this topic after just 2 years? Lol. Step into my shoes, man. But unfortunately I am not a person who can just quietly let my industry wreak harm all over the damned place. I have to at least try. So I'm not sympathetic to those who are fed up and want to bail out. Getting you to capitulate is the goal. You feed the monster when you do that. We need the dialogue to happen. Which means if you care about AI's harms on environment, economy, politics, labor, mental health, bias, personal relationships, professional work, or anything else then WE NEED YOU TO NOT JUST ROLLOVER BECAUSE YOU'VE GROWN BORED AND FRUSTRATED BY TRYING.
Take a breath, suck it up, and keep fighting. It's not like anyone is asking you to take up a gun or risk your life. There are fights much harder than this one. Especially if we keep turning the tide by exposing that the rhetoric of "it's inevitable" and "you're the only one not doing this" are demonstrably false.
