Anyway I don't engage with AI discourse often because, despite the very real problems and ethical concerns, I find a lot of the pushback to be reactionary, fear-mongering and elitist, among other unflattering adjectives—but while I don't particularly vibe with the whole 'evil technological scourge' narrative, it is genuinely disturbing to me how insulated and almost cultish the core AI crowd has become. It's depressing to see to see such an important and sincerely innovative wave of technological advancement wholesale co-opted by the greediest, most creatively bankrupt group of people imaginable

#discourse #this for the record is why i think there should be more effort from those outside Capital Cult to engage with the technological potential #instead of trying to declare the whole concept anathema #we should care about shaping such a hugely influential piece of the future into something beautiful and ethical #more than we do about winning some kind of moral or spiritual victory over the wayward techies #but hey no one cares what i think #anyway remember that ai by itself is just lines of code #and that as always the real problem is capitalism #be less worried about the fact ai exists to steal your job #and more worried about the fact that we live in a culture where thats even a plausible problem to have in the first place #also watch hello future mes ai art video for an actually good and nuanced deconstruction of the problem #both practically and philosophically #i beg
