We nearly all won with dot.com, everyones lives got better. Sure, some people won harder than others, but this was the case with steel, automobiles, agriculture and everything else. We simply can't all be the ones who do the best at using a new technology to profit off of.

You're grasping so hard. If you have a model that you can run locally and do what you want with it, then it's not an issue that a single entity made it. What do you expect, a whole bunch of people huddled around a keyboard pushing all the keys together so that a single entity doesn't make it? Ai is here, it's improving rapidly, accept it and prepare, or be left far, far behind. There are enough people who are not blindly religiously anti-ai that they will be able to put their influence into the world while you scream your throat out at an empty wall.
Here's the thing. When someone tells you something that is important. Don't just believe them. Verify it with multiple sources. This was good advice before llms, and it's good advice after them. The people who complain that llms will make everyone dumb are actually just telling the world about themselves. They are telling the world that they are the kind of person who just goes around looking for sources that they can mindlessly believe without verifying. Quit being like that. Change the way you are on a personal level, and you will quit worrying about llms making everyone stupid. There are very many people who don't share your concern because they are already used to not being believers. Llms make life easier for people who are routinely brainstorming and looking for new ideas and want to hear things explained in various ways.
You are preaching to the choir. All this madness goes away when people quit convincing their children that Israel is some magical land that a space daddy wants everyone to fight over to they get special toys after they die. You want this to end, then start spreading the fact that it is all BS and magic land isn't actually a thing.
I was a huge smoker, and I thought I would never quit. It was how I met people, how I relieved stress, got out of situations I didn't want to be in, and way more. It was a huge part of me. I never even tried to quit, but I've not smoked one for well over a decade. This is what happened. I developed severe psoriasis as an adult. I have no reason to think smoking was connected to this, I have non-smoking family members who also have psoriasis. I tried lots of things to get rid of it, and eventually, I tried a prolonged water fast, about a week. During this week, I couldn't smoke because I was only consuming water. After that week, the thought of breathing smoke into myself repulsed me, it just seemed like keying my own brand new car. This was never my intention, I'm so glad it happened, though. Good luck!
