or in sentience, or in not causing a being to suffer, but solely in the fear of having done to us what we have done to others. That we believe moral consideration should only flow to something more powerful than us as a means of currying favor. And that I find beneath contempt.

you're essentially admitting you expect your creation to act like we have acted towards people across the Global South for the last millennium. And what I find repugnant about that is what it says: That we don't base moral consideration in humanity,

If we gave the people in Palestine and Congo and Sudan the same consideration some people give AI, those genocides *would be fucking over already*. If you genuinely believe that we need to give a potentially sentient computer program moral consideration lest it kill us all one day out of revenge,

But we're supposed to accept this as the way the world is and then start talking about the moral consideration owed to an "entity" that is incapable of feeling pain, that cannot suffer, that doesn't know what it's like to want or starve or love?

You know a pet peeve of mine? I keep seeing think pieces and videos, even from progressives, about how at some point AI will achieve sentience and be worthy of moral consideration. We can't even give every human on this planet moral consideration.

Also, if you know people only get their information in certain ways and you're going to judge them for not being educated and informed, you'd better make sure you're giving the information to them in a way that actually reaches them. Or else you're setting them up to fail and then blaming them.

Ugh honestly. "There have been cases of Amish people bringing back measles from abroad." And infecting their own undervaccinated community. In 2014. How does that mean measles epidemics in multiple Amish communities in 2026 are because of Amish people traveling internationally?

I think we missed a huge opportunity to normalize masking as a public health tool. We eradicated an entire strain of the flu with Covid prevention measures. Masking shows respect for those around you. It shows solidarity with the disability community. It shows you value long term health.

The government is silent about it because governments do not care about disabled lives. They see us as drains on the system. “Useless eaters”. High cost health users. Anything other than people who are deserving of love and care. Most people will end up disabled at some point. Fight for us.

Gentle reminder to check your ableism when talking about Christa Pike. Disabled people can see you talking about how you hope she’s brain damaged and has to suffer a “fate worse than death”. We’re fighting eugenicist regimes who believe we’re “better off dead”. Don’t feed that narrative.

This "think of the children" approach would work if it didn't ignore that the very people who built the problem are the ones complaining about the problem and somehow think they can address it without acknowledging who's the most harmed, or whose actions are to blame for the whole thing.

I will once again note that this is a racialized issue because children who are not white and/or suburbanites are plagued by oversized vehicles piloted by people who shouldn't be driving a mini, but they are more independently mobile than their peers by necessity, using mass transit and walking.

Probably burned my remaining bridges in the business, but I recently put out a statement regarding the increasing use of “generative AI” in British indie wrestling.

I’ve seen more and more promotions and wrestlers using generative AI, some of whom I work with, and I want to make something VERY clear:

I do not give anybody permission to use my likeness in any AI-generated posters, promos, clips, etcetera, and I consider any such use to be a personal and professional violation.

Do not feed me to a tech company’s algorithm. They’ve stolen enough of my writing and video material for their “AI training” already. That’s how Alleged Intelligence works, by the way - it’s a plagiarism tool, regurgitating every shred of “content” fed to it.

Leaving aside the horrific impact AI data centers have on the environment, you’re not creating anything by typing prompts into a box. Why should anyone be impressed with some cool photoshoot, promo, or move when you didn’t really do it? At best, Alleged Intelligence is self-insert reality fanfic and it makes wrestling truly live up to its reputation as fake.

I won’t try to sway you away from it, but I hope you reconsider and really look into AI. Whatever you do, leave me out of it.

Commander Sterling.
