Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Truly incredible how this AI bullshit is being forced on everyone despite it doing nothing to meaningfully improve people’s lives (hexbear.net)

I don’t count productivity or coding as a net good for what it’s worth. Fun, sure, but it’s truly incredible how the influx of AI hasn’t been used to create a more efficient way to distribute resources irl

Tech bros are a scourge on humanity and I truly wish for nothing but the worst for them

Just by some of these comments, I can honestly see AI being where I split with leftists. Because I could truly give less of a fuck “if it’s here to say whether like it or not” when it seems like most critics/contrarians are purposefully missing the point. It’s just going to further atomize people and that should be enough to oppose it at all costs

We’re seeing the results of what happens when you carefully construct a surveillance state and consequently make revolution a near impossibility. All the AI in the world isn’t going to improve broken infrastructure, inequality, environmental degradation or bigotry so I’m cheering so hard for nature to win out at this point.

Doomerism is honestly the only option lmao
