LLMs are tools that the wealthy are using to concentrate more wealth and power in their hands; the wealthy are the only people benefitting from it. There are no uses of LLMs that are a net positive for people outside of that class. So yes, it makes sense to oppose not just the people that suck up all the wealth–not just the ‘surplus’–as well as the tools they use to do it.

Edit: and even worse, throwing your fellow autists under the bus because „for the cause“ and because YOU dont have problems with it is pretty gross.

It’s a simple cost/benefit analysis. If 50% of the people are harmed by X if you allow it to be used unchecked, and 3% are harmed by opposition to using X, then it’s ridiculous to allow avoidance of harm to the minority to keep you from preventing harm to the majority. Moreover, under a system that allows LLMs to flourish, people on the autism spectrum will still suffer disproportionate harms compared to NT people; ND people are considered more disposable and generally diificult for NTs to deal with, so if a manager figures out a way to replace an ND person with an LLM, they 100% will.
