Reposted by MrDysAnhedaria Morgendharma @aesthetic.northsky.social · 08/09/2026You eschew any use of the actual tools, ignore all academic research, refuse to read anything about neuroscience of mind or its connections to the long, storied history of AI research, don’t understand what a transformer model is, and expect to somehow have a good take on AI? Get real. 2436
Reposted by MrDysAnhedaria Morgendharma @aesthetic.northsky.social · 08/09/2026As a leftist who has both 1) read a lot of philosophy of mind stuff and 2) personally done deep academic research in machine learning I promise you that your reductive takes on AI having no chance at “real” intelligence or even sentience in the near future (decade or so) are flat out uninformed. 1485
Reposted by MrDysAnhedaria Morgendharma @aesthetic.northsky.social · 08/09/2026“I have complaints about implications for labor and capital therefore I chose to completely reject an entire field of applied science as invalid under my worldview” is so tedious and it makes people who are experts and otherwise might agree with your concerns gag and withdraw.

Reposted by MrDysAnhedaria Morgendharma @aesthetic.northsky.social · 08/09/2026Like, being a cookie cutter leftist rejecting the significance of AI systems wholesale in 2026 means just freezing your understanding of technology five years in the past and frankly it’s a really dumb look. I don’t care how cool it sounds at punk shows and parties. It’s anti-intellectual and wrong. 17117
Reposted by MrDysAnhedaria Morgendharma @aesthetic.northsky.social · 08/09/2026You don’t have to buy industry hype about AI to take like a few weeks to read some papers and realize that in terms of algorithms and the 70 year program of research in artificial intelligence we are on the cusp of something truly transformative for computing and society.

MrDys @mrdys.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Here’s my two silver lining takes: Netflix is a better tech company than creative studio, so Letterboxd would be better situated there. Also, Netflix has a finite number of subscribers and they won’t put up with rate hikes forever, so diversifying into related areas would be a good thing. 000
