    Shun the technology and lose out on growth feel the JOMO (Joy of Missing Out).

    There, fixed it for you.

    I haven’t seen any productivity or growth from AI.

    All I see is increased liabilities and failures.

      I know I’m going to catch flak for it, but I definitely see use cases where LLMs (AI hasn’t been invented yet) do increase productivity. All my devs use them for their daily work and haven’t once questioned that it’s useful. However, they know when to use LLMs and when not too. That is definitely not the case for the general populace and is further accentuated by big tech unnecessarily cramming that stuff in everything. That’s what’s creating an ecological and societal issue that’s rightfully driving the negative sentiments

        An LLM is basically a glorified autocomplete. Ideal for writing standard code blocks and automating repetitive tasks. It’s a bit like getting a trainee to bash out stuff that doesn’t require much thought. Using it to write your entire codebase and calling it “vibe coding” is like getting a trainee to write your entire codebase.

      Then you have either literally not even tried to look, or are objectively ignoring reality in favor of personal biases and possibly xenophobia.

      There’s plenty of issues, water problems, power problems, ethical concerns, etc.

      But claiming there’s been no productivity, growth or progress caused by LLM technology is objectively wrong.

      It’s like claiming that nuclear research brought zero benefits just because you disagree with nukes.

      It’s objectively on every level, retarded as fuck.

        I agree with your point but “xenophobia”? Come on man, what are you smoking? Also loads of people just don’t have a day-to-day use case for LLM’s, doesn’t make them stupid/retarded for never seeing any upside and only see the downsides. Explaining what you use it for and its pros is a much better argument

    Europe being “absent” from the AI safety debate may be the feature, not the bug. While Silicon Valley debates whether its own products could end humanity, Europe is asking the less cinematic question: why should our infrastructure, data and economy depend on a handful of US firms? Safety without sovereignty is just dependency with better paperwork.

    The title doesn’t make much sense so I haven’t read the article. No, experimenting with LLMs/“AI” doesn’t automatically make you “dependent on US/China tools”. The same way as drawing cats doesn’t make you a Egypt colony.

      Ya, I had the same reaction. Shunning it would be likelier to lead to dependence on a foreign solution as well.

    Besides hardware manufacturers (nvidia et al) not a single company is growing because of AI.
