A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Alright, I just want to clarify that I've never modded a Lemmy community before. I just have the mantra of "if nobody's doing the right thing, do it yourself". I was also motivated by the decision from u/spez to let an unknown AI company use Reddit's imagery. If you know how to moderate well, please let me know. Also, feel free to discuss ways to attack AI development, and if you have evidence of AIBros being cruel and remorseless, make sure to save the evidence for people "on the fence". Remember, we don't know if AI is unstoppable. AI uses up loads of energy to be powered, and tons of circuitry. There may very well be an end to this cruelty, and it's up to us to begin that end.

I'm not trying to be an ass, but the genie is out of the bottle. You'd have as much luck campaigning to shut down the internet in the 90's.

Trust me on this one... Put your energy toward navigating a world -with- AI. As long as money is relevant, those who have it will dictate the course of civilization, and there is far too much money behind AI.

Ah yes, because we knows that if everyone does it and a lot of money is invested in it an act clearly known to be wrong will suddenly become right; like systematically hoarding labor as content and than reselling it on their behalf without having to get their consent or paying them.

Nothing wrong with AI itself. Intellectual property and copyright are what props up capitalism, anything that undermines it in a way that democratizes it is progressive

IP laws were a progressive idea. Capitalism has perverted and twisted it into something else like it does with everything it touches.
