Thinking about all these today as I think about genAI broadly.
AI and ML in their academic forms are not ‘bad’. They are like ‘it’s not bad to sometimes sell a bunch of spices that you happened to get from the Moluccas’.
GenAI is ‘let’s form VOC and EIC and conquer all the brown people and extract as much from the spice islands as we can. Who cares if we also kill thousands of people?’
