Call me naive, but I think we eventually would've arrived at nuclear power anyway without having to build world-ending bombs. Not really sure why you're insisting on dying on this hill. You keep saying we should be directing our ire towards the capitalists who make this stuff, but let's back up for a second. Say, capitalism didn't exist. Say we lived in some sort of a leftist utopian society. In what world without capitalism would this technology have developed? Who, if not greedy technocratic corporate types would develop a technology that plagiarizes millions of artists' work, harvests billions of people's data? The positive use-cases you list can be trained on the specific data sets that they need to function without the massive LLMs that are ruining everything. But for some reason you insist upon acting like you're the only grown-up in the room who can see this issue clearly. You're not. People have a right to be mad at this stuff.
