I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists.
GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters.
Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

I am an old man, @mozilla.org, and I was happy to sit in my rocking chair and use Firefox until sunset. But if you insist on choking this browser with GenAI bloat, I will face God and walk backwards into Linux.
@mozilla.org I have been using Firefox for YEARS. Not sure what the new CEO is hoping to achieve by "AI everything now" but if the hope is to drive people like me off your browser, you will surely succeed.

Making art gives you power. Writing gives you power. Literacy gives you power.
Fascists HATE when you have power because you can fight them with it.
They also hate when an avenue of power is out of reach to them, re: art (of all mediums). They can't make art bc it takes vulnerability to make it--

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.
