I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda

Things didn’t used to be this way: “Today there isn’t a single state, city or county in the United States where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a median-priced two-bedroom apartment.” “Since 1985, rent prices have exceeded income gains by 325 percent.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/o...

“BREAKING: The U.S. saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, with more than 770,000 people counted as homeless.” (Perhaps those people just didn’t see the latest macro economic data and are imagining their hardship.) apnews.com/article/home...
