Yea I agree fully that having individuals that own the one or two platforms is bad.
I don't think much of the fear and panic is warranted though.
Honestly view these headlines the same way you'd view headlines about any other bullshit hysteria that media drums up. It's all so weirdly familiar.
This is so similar to crypto to me. The base technology and idea is great but many of the implementations are problematic and I have high hopes for it with free software, not for profit, and more boring uses around it.
Ok good example. The left took a hard stance. The right adopted it. A lot of right wing people made a lot of money with it regardless of its practicalness. They used that money to invest in each other.
The left somehow has become Luddites and they're falling behind yet don't see how that mentality is holding hobbling their progress
Falling behind in what way? Financial advantage? I’m not sure that the left have ever had that. How would adopting AI aid the left’s cause?
He's correct. Leftists and Liberals (myself included) see the dangers of A.I. and have been hardcore against its current stage of implementation while moderates make shitty AI cat videos and MAGA use it for deepfakes and other means of misinformation at the touch of a button.
Yeah, I agree that the left and liberals are broadly opposed to AI, and the right dove in headfirst. I just don’t get how lacking the ability to spew shitty cat videos and deepfakes means we on the left are hampering our own progress.
One of my buddies hates everything AI because it "impedes the integrity of art." Went on a tirade about AI art being shit and everyone who uses it being shit as well.
(This as I made an AI threesome of Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin. I also made a ladies night with AOC, Hilary, and Kamala.)
But realistically, many on the lefts deal with AI is one part virtue signaling and many parts against how AI is being used to displace white collar workers with substandard service (Expedia, health care, etc).
Yeah its very similar to graft and extortion in that way. The left really needs to get onboard.
Extortion? How so?
something like have your media do a hit piece on my opponets son or I won't release the aid that im legally obligated to release.
The media hasn't been legitimate since 2010.
Example: CNN = Breaking News! Cow sneezes on side of road.
