    That just so happens to describe me to a T. I’m a privacy-minded programmer who came here as part of the Reddit exodus. Because I’m a programmer and am aware of how these AIs function, I am not overly concerned about them and appreciate the capabilities they provide to me. I’m aware of the risks and how to manage them.

    The comment I was responding to brought up “Linux is better” unprompted. But that’s in line with the echo, so I guess that’s fine.

      Objectively, these three statements form a paradox. At least one statement has to be false.

        I’m not overly concerned because I know how to use these things. I know what they do, and so when one of them is doing something concerning I turn it off.

        People are frightened of things they don’t understand, and it’s apparent that lots of people don’t understand AI.
