I am not anti-AI as much as I am anti tools being foisted on us by fascists built on stolen labor with the intent of stealing not just more labor, but workers' confidence and livelihoods, with a side-effect of telling teens to kill themselves.

This Jacob Coxon thing is weird. He worked at Anthropic for six weeks and OpenAI for nearly three years. He’s doing a whole media tour without any real statements about what it is he’s scared of other than vague references to recursive self improvement, a theoretical ai that teaches itself.

I think I noted during the recent Belfast riots that a certain kind of man is not really interested in protecting women & girls; he's interested in protecting the exclusive right of his kind of man to abuse and control women and girls.

Israëlische minister en genocide-pleger Ben Gvir roept op tot het dagelijks vermoorden van "30 tot 40" Palestijnen. Totale ontmenselijking. Deze misdadiger luistert alleen naar keiharde maatregelen. Premier Jetten: trek beloofde Rode Lijn. Stop alle (wapen)handel met Israël en erken Palestina.

Extreemrechtse Israëlische minister Ben-Gvir wil dagelijks tientallen Palestijnen doden

People who choose AI as their creative output: - hate people and having to work with them - are all hat and no cattle, which is to say, they have "ideas" but don't want to even learn the work to implement them - hate the craft itself, and care only about content, about product, about "end results"
