Tilt-A-Whirl Troubador @doubleboomer.bsky.social · 22hThe whole reason AI CEOs keep talking about how powerful LLMs are and how hard they are to control is so they can preemptively deflect blame when the LLM that they have full control over does something illegal or bad. A LLM is incapable of doing anything it is not allowed to do. 121

Everything gets worse by the day and I have zero faith that a Dem landslide in the midterms, much less a Dem president in 2 years will actually improve anything.

![The incident fits a broader pattern in the discourse around 'free speech' and 'cancel culture':
[Section highlighted]
whatever comes from the top down is freedom; whatever comes from the bottom up is bullying and censorship.
[End highlight]
When Macklemore is dropped at the behest of the billionaire stadium owner Robert Kraft, it's an exercise of the freedom of businesses to 'demonstrate their values' by deciding whom to platform. But when Ed Sheeran's fans decide not to buy tickets to his performances, or even demand refunds, it's bullying, mob behaviour. Since most people are not billionaires and do not own stadiums, they can exercise meaningful power only collectively. The collective exercise of power must therefore be demonised.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ybkylffhwhn2an2ic2lxh76k/bafkreifpdv74ajtas7sepr67o7cd5g2er47mv23tpoll2ddie7ri44wjge)
