Man, even when they're doing something good, they still have to frame it as "I come first!"

How amazing would it be if our hatred for AI slop is what finally unites the working class against the billionaires?
In a sense, it will
There was a guy who started talking about how they used AI in their ads and noticed way less conversion rate. They decided, fuck it, like write on cardboard and do something real and human. Waaaay better results.
I think the big wigs are going to realize they're getting ripped off by AI, told it's the future and that they need to invest and adopt before anyone else, and they're now realizing they're spending millions to save thousands.

This is what always gets me.
US dems will throw their leaders under the bus in a split second, or fry them over the slightest past scandal.
Even those that won't will criticize them over specific issues.
Most Republicans, no matter what, cannot blame Trump.
He is objectively, full-throated pro Big Tech; he invited them all to Washington. He is talking about a national OpenAI stake, he is talking up data centres, he literally brought Elon Musk into his cabinet. He's publicly received hundreds in millions of dollars in donations from Tech CEOs! Repeatedly.
Yet even this movement simply cannot bring themselves to say "maybe he's wrong on this one?"
One of the big common themes of conservatism is following the leader. They all want to bend the knee. They love hierarchy.
Well, the flip-side is there doesn't seem to be nuance or waffling, either.
To Republicans, he's either with them, or not; regular folks who break with Trump over an issue seem to renounce him entirely, from what I've seen.
...Hence I'm positing this could be a breaking point.
I think some Trump supports who join this movement, and start watching his actions closely, are going to hit it. Some already did over Epstein, but this is an issue with broader direct impact in peoples' lives.
Musk was never in his cabinet, that requires Senate confirmation.
Turns out you don't need to be in the cabinet to completely fuck the country up
"The conservative movement has been transformed by President Trump into a movement that puts the interests of everyday Americans first. Now, Big AI globalists seek to hijack our movement to get Washington, D.C. to put Big AI before the American people."
First of all, LOL
Secondly, the calls are coming from inside the party, dipshits.
Humans First is a conservative social movement that is dedicated to ensuring that the future of AI is in the hands of everyday people.
That doesn't sound anti-AI to me.
The cool new shill tactic is to pretend to be anti-AI or "concerned about AI" so they can hijack the conversation and re-direct people's focus away from actual change and regulation. They bring up do-nothing solutions like "Local LLMs" or a there being a "public stake" in the industry.
Lemmy is absolutely thick with these cockroaches.
Honestly. It reads like they want the government, specifically their dear leader, to do a hostile takeover of the AI companies so they can control it.
Wonder if they consider libs are everyday people 🤔
"IT'S AFFECTING ME NOW!!!!"
Think they'll beat the living fuck out of some cops and attempt to murder some politicians? Seems to be the standard for their "protests".
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Anti AI, anti cops, and anti politicians is a threefer.
Fake ass protest. Conservatives love AI.

It's fake concern all right. In Florida, DeSantis is term-limited out after this next election (YAY!), and Trump's hand picked candidate is Byron Donaldson.
This week he started running anl campaign ad in which he shows concern for data centers, and has some utility rate protection he's pushing. It makes him sound a bit anti-data center, so I looked it up.
Turns out he LOVES data centers, he's just doing this one little thing so he can sound like he's pushing back against them, and ease the biggest worry of MAGAs - higher utility bills. They don't care if it destroys the environment, they just don't want to pay more for it.
I think Conservative$ love it. But the "conservative base" doesn't.
Makes sense. Both the Harkonnens and the Atreides were anti ai.
Like other commenters are saying: it’ll be sweet if anti ai sentiment unites people but the entirety of human history suggests people will cooperate until the threat is over and then they’ll break upon lines of who wipes standing or sitting or some other dumb shit.
A backwards clock is right more frequently than a stopped one.

Wow!! Who invited big AI to DC??
Tap for spoiler
Woke AI companies are making all conservative men super gay.
It's funny to me when their supreme leader keeps using ai generated videos to "own" his enemies. Did you all see the one of him as a doctor diagnosing TDS?
Lefties should co-opt it
No. Co-opting shit is one of the worst tendencies that comes out of the left
But they could go and support it. Imagine organising a conservative anti-ai rally and getting met not with a counter protest, but with a horde of left/progressive people supporting your core message. It would be a head fuck and maybe enough to make you start questioning your reality and allegiances.
I wonder how many years until they find out what their legislators have been doing to promote AI?
A lot of them only recently found out that Bush admin gave Epstein a plea deal and that Reagan is largely responsible for the IRGC being sponsored by and alligned with China.
Occupy Wall Street taught us one thing; trying to cooperate with conservatives is like trying to fuck a cactus. In theory, it could fit in that hole. In practice, it'll do more damage than anything else.
This feels super weird. Would they turn liberals away if they showed up? (Or at least tell them to go protest across the street because "this side is for anti-globalists" or whatever.) I dunno, just seems odd to try to create a popular movement specifically by alienating people who would agree with them on that particular issue.
doubtful, since conservatives are almost always protesting out of selfishness, they voted for this to happen and just now they dont like it because its literally on thier doorsteps.
