I think it’s good for people to have children. At least one and preferably no more than two.

If we contain population growth, the riches already created are for the taking for generations to come and the planet finally gets a rest.

It does require a reckoning with the capitalist elite that would like to produce anyway, but I feel that may be coming regardless of our feelings towards children.

    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.

    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.

    I’m a fiction author in addition to my philosophy blog 😉

    But if you’re asking what my inspiration is… I dunno, too much to list here.

    But in case you’re wondering, it’s not AI 😅 I hate LLMs. And the only way to fight what you hate is through love, or so I’ve found.

    That’s why you should go work at big corporate enterprises. Then you have both job security as well as the ability to spend as much time as necessary on getting things right. And you might even learn to say no to middle management.
