This may have happened to other AI/LLM CEOs or shareholders, yet it is interesting nonetheless.
The note is intense. Kooky as I may be, I am someone who is not in support of criminalizing acts where people are trying to share their anger/their rage (in words) against businesses which are centered on eliminating jobs and on businesses which are focused on making billionaires far more wealthy and powerful. Just an opinion.

Seems like middle man is very worried about being cut out of easy profits

I agree. Tech is not only displacing blue-collar workers, but white-collar workers, too. Even lawyers, architects, and therapists, just to name a few, are in the crosshairs of LLMs/AI development.

I think we are slowly working our way to having ai work for us! That's the dream goal anyway! I just hope it works for everyone and not just the elites! :)

But I'll probably be dead by that time anyway so here's to hoping for a better future for the noobs! :D

A huge part of me is optimistic for so many things. Yet, with LLMs and AI development, I am troubled that it will be "just the elites" which will benefit and there will be little to no trickle down effect for non-billionaire families and individuals. Mad Max and Blade Runner may not be that far off when it comes to predicting humanity's future. Oops. I, too, will be long gone when it happens. So, hopefully, I am dead wrong and the humanitarians will gain a firm grasp on the reins of the tech and political world. Okay. Enuf of my brouhaha. :blush:
