Got to a point in this where Casey Newton enumerated his "only two sides" of AI and well, fuck Casey Newton.
Was he the one who wrote that awful "real and dangerous vs fake and sucks" piece? The one that pretended that critihype was actually less common than actual questions about utility and value?
Yeah, and a lot of the answers he gave seemed to originate from that point.
One particularly grating thing was saying that the left needs to embrace AI to fight facism because "facism embraced AI and they are doing well!" which is just so grating a conclusion to jump to.
fascism also embraced fascism and is doing well, so by that logic the left needs to embrace fascism
