The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI:
It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, board games, video game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, computers, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, passport services and so much more!
Maybe it's time for a visit 📚❤️

sometimes I think about how much money has been invested into AI companies and Facebook's version of Second Life instead of stuff like women's health or greater access to public transit in the US and I get really sad

Disabled people are not expendable.
Disabled people are not lazy.
Disabled people are not “choosing” to be sick.
Disabled people deserve healthcare, social supports & accommodation.
These are not controversial concepts. Ableism & health supremacy tell you otherwise.

People say "you don't look autistic" like it's a compliment. But at this point I just find it incredibly insensitive. Either you are questioning my diagnosis or you're telling me you think autism is something to be ashamed of. Either way, it's not the compliment you think it is.

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

As the ongoing genocide in Gaza ramps up again I feel so overwhelmingly angry that hurting the feelings of people who support the genocide is considered orders of magnitude worse than the genocide itself.

This June two of the biggest books being published (Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab, Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid) are about queer female characters and are written by queer women. I think that's pretty amazing. There was a time not too long ago this was impossible.

Men are wild because they can hear a woman say something like, “I hate men because almost every man close to me has belittled, betrayed, assaulted, or abused me,” and then make themselves the victim in that sentence.

Sure, when the library does it it’s fine, but when somebody wants to borrow one of MY books and I ask for ID I’m being “ridiculous”

This society truly underestimates the critical thinking skills developed by graduating HS before smartphones existed. I can research things with or without the internet; I can write notes by hand (legibly too), and I can read a physical book cover to cover. I’m basically an endangered species.

For every series of responses an AI chatbot generates, data centers consume about 16 ounces of water.
Water stress is already on the rise all over the US and the world.
Yet the GOP is trying to prevent states from regulating AI for 10 years.
