This was a joke, but a handful of people expressed genuine interest in reading a book that bashes oligarchs and AI, just for the sake of it.

I'm heavily anti-AI. So much so, I'm pretty sure this is why my Instagram and Threads account got zapped out of existence. Meta couldn't handle the heat every single time they posted some slop-positive buzz on their official accounts, I don't know ...

But, I run my entire website behind Anubis, and I dropped Windows completely over their introduction of spyware into their malware OS. I'm not unfamiliar with AI, I've used it. I've given it a whirl. It's a bunch of garbage built on the backs of anyone whose ever done even an ounce of creative or skilled, written work. Be it code, a personal blog, or even fiction.

And it's getting worse. Every day I see more and more people embracing generative slop, either for fun, or for a social media avatar, or "because anti-AI people are annoying." It's like a virus, a pandemic. A pandemic that's evaporating fresh water, and melting the icecaps.

The fascist elites wanted a way to extract our labor, and pilfer our pockets, and with these so-called "tools" every facet of what we call "the Arts" are being destroyed, along with the world we live in.

Search Google images, scroll through Reddit, and just look at what your parents are consuming on Facebook. This is an emergency, and patient zero has a name: Sam Altman.

There's already decent scholarship in this area. One such book is the recent "The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want", by Emily Bender and Alex Hanna. I haven't read it yet, but I've heard good things about it and it's high on my reading list.

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.
