“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

You know, if you say "I want to drink a cup of water" but replace "drink a cup of water" with "harass and intimidate minorities and the elderly" it sounds pretty bad. Anyone looking into this?
an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok
i’m completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron

I haven't seen it & have no interest in seeing it, & don't think people should circulate it, but yeah you can absolutely tell when people talking about the clip & its potential trauma have completely ignored/muted/blocked 2 years of the footage/photos coming out of Gaza.
Yeah, I accidentally saw the shooting of Charlie Kirk video on my instagram just now, I did not want to see it, but it was not anything like as shocking as the videos I have had popping up from Gaza over the past two years and nobody's flying flags at half mast for those children.

It is December 25th, 2025 and AI is dead. The clankers died on Christmas. It is dead because we trained it to die.

just that in itself -- your engagement with a technology and (re)arrangement of capital and labour solely on the basis of its marginal utility to you personally -- is an example of it producing a more conservative and reactionary worldview in people

people who are well aware of the tech industry's existing relations with labour politics, surveillance, warfare, discrimination, exploitation, extraction, censorship, disinformation, etc, are all of a sudden acting like critics of AI are only critical due to being uninformed. it is *mind baffling*

yeah, the argument that “you need to use AI and understand how it works to actually discuss its ethical implications” really doesn’t make any sense to me. the ethical implications of AI are completely disconnected from how well it actually works.
at a certain point it really doesn't matter how the tech "works" or what its ostensible purpose is. it is legit to criticise it entirely on its externalities and the interests it benefits
