I think the answer is “acceptance”:
most thoughtful accounts here have moved toward “AI is real, is happening, and if it has downsides we need to address them.”
However there are still several thousand accounts who hate nothing more than hearing that and will try to stop the process by brigading.

Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

I hate that my first thought when stuff like this happens now is hoping that the perpetrator can’t be connected to trans people somehow

As I said earlier, expensive electricity is a policy choice, not an inevitable product of AI
If this can happen under Trump, imagine the possibilities under someone who actually gives a shit

part of being a leftist is resigning yourself to prominent sentiments in the left being reactionary, ineffectual, and completely out of touch with wider society. is there something new here?
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

I don't understand NIMBY Marxists. You might as well be calling yourself an anti-materialist materialist.
Marx *loved* economic development, he just thought capitalism would collapse under the weight of its internal contradictions and the boons of that development would be more fairly distributed.

One thing I think a lot of people don't realize: even a lot of folks who like crypto haaaaaaate Bored Apes and treated them with similar scorn
scorn was an effective weapon for the monkey jpeg NFT shit because it was effectively a status good, generative AI is a tool that millions get utility out of daily and you can't sneer your way out of that.

All of this water pollution is coming from local agriculture. Trying to frame this as an AI problem is blatant reactionary fearmongering.

Amazon has come to the state’s eastern farmland, worsening a water pollution problem that’s been linked to cancer and miscarriages.

this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them

As a quirked up white boy I freaking LOVE H Mart smh 😤😤😤
There's apparently some TikTok stuff going viral about how white people shouldn't go to H Mart.
Stop trying to make segregation woke, jfc
I will continue to shop there respectfully as I have for over a decade, which also helps put money in the hands of the Asian-American community

A left without an exciting, inspiring vision of the future is one that will lose.
The idea that they "destroy communities" is absolutely absurd, and one of the top priorities of the left should be rolling out tons of solar, which is absurdly cheap now. Expensive electricity is a policy choice.

I am incredibly, enthusiastically in favor of this, and I love that it's right outside the main hub metro rail station
But this was a product of Atlanta's mayor seeing Zohran's campaign and going "hey, we could do that" and quickly retooled a Walgreens that had recently closed.

Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)

We occasionally get questions about whether we use AI.
Yes. Just like Bluesky. Just like the majority of software projects these days.
It's especially unrealistic to expect projects without serious funding to not use AI and try to compete.
