Almost everyone "on the left" doesn't have a problem with machine learning, or technology, or progress. They do have problems with security, safety, mental health outcomes, plagiarism, labor distributions, and environmental & energy impact.
Industry regulation is not some unreasonable leftist ask.

the big lie we were raised with is that luddites hated all technology when they really just hated technology that was designed to put some of us out of work and make the rest work harder while the ruling class got to make extra profit off our backs

Given the environmental impact alone -- and what overbuilding and overcapacity could do to the economy when the bill for that truly comes due -- we'd be insane not to be extremely wary of AI, to the point of being up in arms about it. "AI" as a force is so much bigger than the tech itself.

In his 1998 interview with Guitar World, Prince spoke directly about one of the reasons why he was seeking ownership of his work: to have artistic control so there couldn't be unauthorized digital manipulation of his work after his death. sites.google.com/site/prninte...
![GW: With digital editing, it is now possible to create a situation where you could jam with any artist from the past. Would you ever consider doing something like that?
O(+>: Certainly not. That's the most demonic thing imaginable. Everything is as it is, and it should be. If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age. That whole virtual reality thing... it really is demonic. And I am not a demon. Also, what they did with that Beatles song ["Free As a Bird"], manipulating John Lennon's voice to have him singing from across the grave... that'lI never happen to me. To prevent that kind of thing from happening is another reason why I want artistic control.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sg2e2kqdsdp2q2zl44txadbp/bafkreihknqisorpvu2x3yb2fqblcct5ut73vmv5cpwnklojfkgika3qvpi@jpeg)
