A craftsperson loves craft. Writing is craft. The people who practice it are into the process. People using AI don't have the SOUL of a craftsperson. They want an end result to stick their name on, that's it.

a lot of how it actually works is pretty racist. we have AI datacenters out there poisoning and killing entire mostly black communities, and some doing the same to largely white rural ones too. though the entire notion of gen Ai just seems a way to reinvent a more opaque form of slavery.
Who would have guessed that AI would be used for racism.

This is profound and ironic.
It suggests a future where our computer masters get learn and create everything, while we are the ones being "trained" to service them.

In applying AI to material science, biology, etc, capitalism is trying to shed science.
The point is to substitute the engineering of a machine that can generate what science has hitherto done, but without having people know things. Knowledge ultimately residing in private property is the dream.

This is why ICE is attacking Charlotte.
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

Almost every time AI is brought up in my workplace, it all comes down to having someone (something I guess) do your work for you.
Call it a reach if you want, but it's a little too close to notions of slavery for me.

I've been wanting to write about how public health understands race, how the current conceptualization of race is too simple (i.e. as a proxy for racism or SDOH and simplifies the social construction of race), and how this conceptualization has always been defensive and a cop out.

“The Committee’s unfounded accusations, dependence on clearly compromised sources, and selective presentation of ‘evidence’ represent an unprecedented abuse of congressional power—designed not to find the truth, but to silence leadership that refuses to yield to political pressure.”
