So I’m the literal author of the Philosophy of Balance, and I don’t see any reason why LLMs are deserving of a balanced take.

This is how the Philosophy of Balance works: We should strive…

for balance within ourselves
for balance with those around us
and ultimately, for balance with Life and the Universe at large

But here’s the thing: LLMs and the technocratic elite funding them are a net negative to humanity and the world at large. Therefore, to strive for a balanced approach towards AI puts you on the wrong side of the battle for humanity, and therefore human history.

Pick a side.

You are presupposing that your opinion about LLMs is absolutely correct and then of course you arrive at your predetermined conclusion.

What about the free LLmodels available out of china and other places that democratizes the LLMs?

Therefore, to strive for a balanced approach towards AI puts you on the wrong side of the battle for humanity, and therefore human history.

Thanks for not being dramatic, lol.

  Your comment is fair. I try to follow my own philosophy, so I picked a side and stand for it. I feel strongly about it, so that’s why I may use hyperbole at times.
  
  Yet I understand it’s not everybody’s opinion, so I try to respect those people even when I don’t necessarily respect their positions. It’s a tough line to draw sometimes.
