This platform is full of nerds with a conscience: we recognize ecocide-plagiarism-psychosis machines for the radioactive snake oil they are.
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
