I’m furious at AI because it steals our work, consumes vast resources and produces mediocrity, but along the way it also traumatises the people - mainly in the developing world - who are paid a pittance to train it. Theft, abuse, environmental destruction, all to make rich men richer. Burn it all.

They act like people are cultists who don’t like AI but the cultists are people who need to believe what billionaires are telling them to believe about AI despite the fact that all patent evidence, all the studies & whatever authority you need, shows it does only harm & zero good.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

It really is true that white folks can end all this whenever they truly want. I see many getting woke & some are rising in the streets. If they wanted to surrender white supremacy in their hearts whether marching or not they could no longer accept this & perpetuate it.
Imma be real, I never want to hear white people (collectively) are doing what they can right now. That is a whole ass lie. They have never done enough. That's why all this is still happening.

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?"
Because folks don't actually want to discuss AI, they want blind submission to the ideological structures that motivate the contemporary use cases and deployments of AI. They don't want to hear the concerns except to dismiss them out of hand.

Thanks for putting me on a list of folks you like to see. Nice of you. I have walls & walls of lists I’m on mostly referring to me hatefully. Too much to bother slamming myself with.
I've made 2 lists: "My friends from other social media" just to try to keep track of them when they started accts here--I haven't kept that one up; and "Faves" which I use as a feed for when I just want to see what those 50 or so people are posting. (You're on it.)

Calling the cops to fight the cops is wack. Everybody the state empowers to walk around with guns is on the same side. Against you.
And here’s the absurdity of calling the police on ICE. You’re calling their backup.
New reporting shows local police are tapping school security cameras and license-plate reader systems to assist federal immigration enforcement, raising serious concerns about student privacy and surveillance.

Never made a list here. I quickly learned too many people put me on lists for imaginary hate for it to be worth the rare chance someone has something to say on me I’d want to hear. I don’t need to make lists myself, & it’s not my business how other users categorize me to curate their experience.
