I'm not sure we should call it "fantastic"

The negative downsides begin at "dystopia worse than 1984 ever imagined" and get worse from there

That dystopia is far more likely in a world where the moat is so large that a single company can control all the llms.

Dystopia is better than oblivion.

That dystopia will come from an autocratic one party government with deeply entrenched interests in the tech oligarchy, not from really slick AI models.

Even a well intended non autocratic democratically elected multi party system could accidentally pull off a dystopic opening of pandora’s box when it comes to AI. In the grand scheme of things I’m not sure we’re any safer if we live in a democracy.

You're right, there're photos that the CEO of DeepSeek taking orders from the 2rd-ranking boss of CCP!

DeepSeek must have already jeopardized the national security of the United States.

The way it is going, we are all going be busy with WW3 soon so we won’t have much time to worry about that.

Somehow I think we're heading straight for WW4 this time.
