Not even CEOs, you can see various (at some point failed due to low quality high expenses workforce, that can now be replaced with AI, you get the idea) entrepreneurs and non-techies on Facebook write long excited posts about Claude.

About a computer program and a dataset running completely outside their control and scrutiny. Like white colonizers selling rifles to natives, but not machinery to make those rifles. Or ammunition, but not machinery to produce it. Or colored glass, but not technical processes to make said colored glass.

CEOs are right to be excited, they might be able to afford the real thing - self-hosted and with the accompanying processes, like healthy datasets, experienced people, nuances of adjusting models, stuff like that.

But people who are being shown that they can be replaced sufficiently well by a machine, that has another little trait of being completely adjustable - that I can't understand.

Someone interested in humanitarian sciences and art being excited that there's a machine parroting them well enough to replace them, except that machine can also be made to produce those things to fascist ends, - I don't understand that.
