While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

The regime's desire for authoritarianism is bottomless, but their capacity is not. Not even close.

They rely on bluster and memes to make up the difference. The threat is real, but less powerful than they say.

Freedom-loving Americans outnumber them by a lot. Communities can resist. Like this one:

Cristian Farias @cristianfarias.com · 5d

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

If these ID laws stay in place across America we will see more identity theft then ever before. It could genuinely become a type of financial epidemic. If you're in a state with these laws: PLEASE GOD email your reps about the recent Discord hack and ask them how they plan to protect you.

if you have democrat rep/senators i recommend calling and reminding them you will never vote for them again if they bend the knee on this. shutting down the government is the correct choice. that is the exact phrasing in my 3 calls and it took 5 min total

i think something few people bring up in this conversation that to me could be a small reason a lot of ppl are so anti sex scenes is the way society now falsely portrays nudity or sexual content as inherently meant to arouse the viewer/reader and not as a concept as complex as many others

Hell-Raea-ser 🦋✨🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @raea.meangirls.online · 16d

recalling something about how nazism was a manifestation of sexual repression

tiktok comments. comment 1: “Yes. I literally get annoyed seeing these scenes, it feels unnecessary.”

2: “it's not even it needs to be kept platonic but we literally don't need to see it clapping”

3: “GenX here. I also want movies and tv shows to have less sex in them. I would rather watch well-developed characters, like what you see in foreign films.”

4: “its so unnecessary in 90% of media”

more tiktok comments

1: “i think gen z likes it in our stories, i mean look at spicy booktok, i just think we dont like it being put into shows if it doesnt contribute to the plot or we are not invested in the couple”

2: “It's always awkward when watching with people and totally unnecessary when watching alone”

3: “It just makes it harder to watch comfortably with other people, and when it's not even needed? Yeah, no thanks.”

4: “It isn't used as a plot device anymore, it always a scene to pad the run time!”

more tiktok comments

1: “It's so rare that those scenes actually add value to the plot”

2: “It literally ruins a movie or show for me.”

3: “It literally ruins a movie or show for me.”

4: “it be mad random and pointless”

more tiktok comments

1: “It can just be implied. I don't want or need to hear actors grunting.”

2: “i skip past it. Always unnecessarily long, useless and adds nothing”

3: “it’s just awkward to watch”

4: “finally someone says it especially in horror movies”
