You just broke something open in my mind for me. I read a lot of genre fic (adult and YA fantasy mostly) and I've been losing patience with *something* that I can't quite figure out. I think it might be all the first person (especially in YA) making me feel like I'm being spoon fed. Don't love it

Honestly I think this was the quote that sent me over the top. This is bootstrap/ The Secret theology repackaged to blame kids when AI school fails them. So gross.

When I see people complain about male loneliness, it is so painfully OBVIOUS to me that most of these lonely men are men who feel entitled to a woman who does that labor for them, who acts as their agent enmeshing them into community through unpaid pro-social labor on their behalf.

There is no ethical AI. The tech is based on stolen intellectual property, anti-solidarity between workers, labor exploitation, environmental injustice, climate destabilization, structural racism, and gender inequalities.
