@_elena Most (maybe all?) of my writing on my blog this year has been in response to tech-industry's harms in pushing LLMs.

@xgranade hmm, now that I think about it, maybe I should articulate that in a future blog post.

@xgranade This has also been fascinating to me lately.

My latest blog post is specifically musing on what that calculus looks like for each person.

I always presumed that a major factor is in the belief that harms are not as bad as reported (which calls into question what sources we are viewing as authoritative) or that the current and/or future benefits to humanity are worth it (current harms are collateral damage in lieu of progress).

But for a person to be unable to imagine any scenario that would change their mind seems crazy to me.

I often ask myself what it would take to change my mind on this issue, and while I think most of those scenarios are highly improbable.. I can still imagine them.
