I was saying on Mastodon the other day that when the OpenAI board tried to oust Sam Altman after he offered ChatGPT to the public that was probably the right call, they already had tested and knew the weaknesses of LLM models as a path to "AGI", but once the hype-train had left the station it proved impossible to stop. It's unlikely that any of this "AI" fever will work out to our betterment in the long run, and it's going to be used to destroy trillions of dollars of human capital in the meantime, at a time when we probably cannot afford it.

To me it's not the "destruction" of so much [human] capital but the wasted/squandered opportunities.
