  • Because the people with money know they don’t have to listen to the little people.

    We don’t even need overblown fears about AI killing everyone. AI is ruining students, ruining artists, causing massive layoffs, being used to monitor and judge our behavior, and is attempting to influence our behavior. It seems there are attempts to give these glorified auto-complete programs increasing amounts of resources and authority.

    This is bad for most people. And those of us born after 1980 or so have no illusions that anyone in power is going to care about the welfare of the little people. They only recognize money and power. We don’t have money, but there are many kinds of power. I hope someone recognizes the signs, and changes course before it gets bloody.

    I don’t want purity tests because we, on the left, are incapable of reaching a consensus on much of anything. If we can’t agree to tolerate a limited amount of disagreement with each other, we can’t work together on the things we do agree on, and those things tend to be kind of important.
