    But the people with the money for the hardware are the ones training it to put more money in their pockets. That’s mostly what it’s being trained to do: make rich people richer.

      This completely ignores all the endless (open) academic work going on in the AI space. Loads of universities have AI data centers now and are doing great research that is being published out in the open for anyone to use and duplicate.

      I’ve downloaded several academic models and all commercial models and AI tools are based on all that public research.

      I run AI models locally on my PC and you can too.

      But you can make this argument for anything that is used to make rich people richer. Even something as basic as pen and paper is used everyday to make rich people richer.

      Why attack the technology if its the rich people you are against and not the technology itself.
