We make buildings install fire extinguishers for safety. Should AI plants be forced to install something that can shut it down in an instant?

      OK, but all of that potential can be researched in a lab. It doesn’t need a trillion dollars worth of new data centres, right?

      LLMs have no potential to do anything for humanity.

      AI in general might, eventually, be a net positive (previous waves of it are still used in the very narrow niches where they bring value) but not this run into the next AI winter. And indeed this run into the next AI winter will likely not even survive in niches. LLMs are just too problematical even when laser-focused on very narrow niche applications.
