It's a technology that enables a set of behaviors. Seems reasonable to wish that didn't happen if you don't like the behaviors.
How about just wishing that the behaviors didn't happen?
I see wishing people weren't the way they are is a bit more... intrusive? than just wishing LLMs were slept on. Like if you had a genie in a bottle the less evil wish would be for LLMs to not have been developed.
Thoughts and prayers.
If we wish upon a star, why whish against technology instead of against bothersome things people do with it?
Because one of those wishes has a chance of being acted upon, and the other doesn't.
Give that the technology is virtually always unstoppable and the behavior policing is on the rise in places such as UK, it seems that people might be wrong as to which of those two is actionable.
This is a bad argument. You may as well say “It’s just a thing that has been invented. Do you wish that all things that have been invented hadn’t been invented?”.
It's not just an algorithm. it's also a massive application of computing resources and a complete indifference to the numerous people pointing out why x, y, and z are really bad ideas.
> it's just an algorithm, like any other algorithm
Can you bubble sort your way into a video resembling Robin Williams?
Science and technology are very different things.
Science has allowed us to destroy our planet at industrial scale and provided the tools to destroy ourselves and as a result all humans will likely be dead long before the next planet killer asteroid.
