Paraphrasing again:
We’re in a power struggle between those using “AI” to centralise and consolidate their hold over the economy, education, media, and politics and are willing to sacrifice much of the environment and society to that end (i.e. "rule the ashes") and those who think that would be bad
Standing in the middle and going “actually, I think we could find productive uses for LLMs” is not a winning move and it won't protect you from the winning side of the power struggle.
The problem with positioning yourself as a sensible and reasonable moderate user of LLM software development tools is it means you’ll be the first up against the metaphorical wall if either the anti- or pro- sides truly gain the upper hand.
The idea that dev will settle into a stable “moderate” equilibrium is one of the riskiest strategic bets you could make today. Makes sense if it’s your only option, but otherwise pits you in a very precarious position
