In the end it seems to me that one of the main distinctions between people who see LLMs as good and those who don't is whether they see the digital part of the world as "content" or "people".
If it's all just content, LLMs make sense. If it's where people live LLMs become a somewhat dumb idea.

Open knowledge sharing AND copyright are both under siege. Whether you are for one or the other doesn't matter.
This is a shared issue that's hitting "both sides". They are taking away YOUR choice, replacing it with regurgitation & centralisation while the open internet withers away.

They are making it impossible to host information online and drying up resources. Stop defending and supporting these malicious entities.

There are many reasons why AI slop has become the aesthetic of current digital fascism, but one may lie in the competitive and selective logic of AI training itself: GenAI amplifies the presence of those who are already highly visible – while rendering invisible those who are already marginalized

deeply moved by this project from the Hong Kong Action Archives that is building a map of memories: everything from the taste of a now-closed dai pai dong to recollections of protest. 曾經，每年6月4日晚都會集滿人的地方。每次有咩唔開心都會喺度望住個維港沉思。we will remember.

Much of the "is AI art?" questions are really "is AI communication?" but in disguise. AI can make art because a urinal factory can make art. If AI makes art, it's through designation, not intent. AI is a one-sided simulation of communication processed exclusively by the viewer. There's no exchange.

AI is more consistently a meandering military moonshot project than it is ... almost anything else, but to the extent that it's anything else it's still more consistently a vehicle for political consolidation and accumulation of power

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.
