Wait, what? How’d we go from crappy GitHub PRs to “literally killing members in their community and ruining the ecology”? If you’re talking about massive data centers, I’m sympathetic to significantly better environmental protection laws. But that’s orthogonal to the goals of anti-AI people and mostly something they signal-boost because it helps recruit, not because big industry screwing over regular people is unique to AI.

Your other complaints seem more to do with concentration of wealth and capitalism, which AI is accelerating, but is not the cause of. Banning AI because unregulated capitalism is making people miserable would be like banning shipping containers to stop sweatshops.
