Nimby type people who don’t want any progress or development. Sam Altman is a terrible person because he released ChatGPT to the public. These are the kind of people who would’ve stopped Besemer converters being used and distributed widely, and we’d still live in something approaching the 1780s. Poverty hunger misery.
