I love a lot of creators But i really need them to reflect on why they can defend AI in every artform BUT the one you work in Why is every other artform not as personal or heartfelt or needing human touch

The answer to almost every argument for a genAI use case is "what if you just talked to another person?"

i’ve been thinking about this from a job perspective a lot, since many office workers are using / being encouraged to use LLMs in their day to day functions. and… the whole project is an attempt to replace or not need the actual skills that the job requires to be done well.

I think this post should stop at, “tear it down.” There is no way to build an immigration enforcement agency that isn’t what ICE is. Just let go of that notion now, and we can stop thinking in circles and think about a better future.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

The future being pushed by both AI boosters and educational censors is one where access to information is tightly controlled. Children will not be allowed to read certain books or learn certain narratives. “Research” will be performed only through one of a select few artificial intelligence tools owned by AI giants which are uniformly aligned behind the Trump administration and which have gone to the ends of the earth to prevent their black box machines from spitting out “woke” answers lest they catch the ire of the administration. School boards and library boards, forced to comply with increasingly restrictive laws, funding cuts, and the threat of being defunded entirely, leap at the chance to be considered forward looking by embracing AI tools, or apply for grants from government groups like the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is increasingly giving out grants specifically to AI projects.

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees

Luckily, computers aren't sentient. And they never will be. But the fact that people THINK they own sentient creatures and aren't troubled by that idea is... deeply worrying

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

Looking at art as Art - something that doesn’t have to swaddle you up in emotional comfort and confirm you - gives you the chance to think about what you hold as moral and why. If you want art to agree with you all the time, you erode your ability to question the world and yourself
