If that's your concern, then your argument becomes "software should never change". Why dare patch any bug ever? It might be load-bearing in some unknown, undocumented, unsupported workflow somewhere in the world. No test imaginable can catch that apart from the scream test.
There are reasonable arguments against language ports, but this is not one. You're making an argument against code changing at all ever.
Because it plain and simple does not work that way. LLMs don't know anything at all, and there literally is no mechanism that informs the model that it's hallucinating or that it doesn't "know" something.
Open your phone keyboard and just keep mashing the next predicted word until it stops predicting words. It will eventually collapse into a loop of predicting the same words in a nonsense sentence. Does it ever stop predicting "wrong" words?
That's literally how an LLM works. It predicts the next most likely word and that's it.
Authoritarianism requires a boogeyman to point and shriek at. It is required to have a big bad scary evil (and RED) enemy to justify the constant erosion of democracy and civil rights.
That's pretty much it. The reasons don't really go much deeper. There are deeper threads you can pull at and more well reasoned and thought out objections to China, but those are academic. The people in power don't care/can't comprehend anything more sophisticated than "communism bad".
People don't take up that much space and there is a strong tendency for populations to collapse into concentrated cities. In general, across the entire human species. All cultures and countries behave this way.
Labor, obviously. That's where all the money in a business goes: paying pesky human employees.
If your employees can suddenly magically do more work with the same pay, that's free money (for you). You can pay fewer employees, or pay them less by threatening to replace them with the magic robot.
The magical thinking version of this is that your productivity gains magically translate into more customers and more sales for the same input cost and labor. The free money is really free because you're a magical special snowflake company and every consumer will want your brand of magic machine outputs and not the other guy's. Where does all this money come from? Do those extra customers even exist? Who cares!
Yeah except flock is literally photographing children on playgrounds and inside gyms and showing those photos to random people in exactly the way being described.
