I’m sick and tired of the Capitalist religion and all their fanatic believers. The Western right-wing population are the most propagandized and harmful people on Earth.

  • If you want to avoid that, then you should actually move to China or Iran, and use their national services outside of 3-letter integrated meta/twatter/alphabet and the rest of the US/western informations-sphere, incl msm. US/the West are the most information controlled population in the world - and exposed to most censorship, surveillance and propaganda. You’ll be a lot safer in Iran/China…


  • Cool. I don’t mind AI art (I know, buuh ;-) ), but here the ‘interestingness’ of the content, how separate visual ideas, and a ‘weird’ reasoning jumps from inverted Mushrooms to skull, to rising bubbles of thoughts, is special.

    An AI can produce such a style image, but I can’t naturally relate to the transformer ‘thoughts’ and effort behind an AI’s visual flow, as I can naturally relate to the cognitive process of a hooman artist (obviously on a shroom-trip and proud of it, but still…). The needed skill and time/energy it must have taken, are quickly added to the initial impression, and it kind of ‘forces’ my brain to look closer/twice, and imagine what it ‘means’ - even if no meaning at all.

    This image could in principle be artificial (I wouldn’t know), but just believing that a hooman made it, ads a little extra dimension/relationability to it. I think… …not that I know shit about art, just a quick thought :)







  • Imho, it’s a bit exceptionalistic/embarrassing that large parts of humanity automatically assume that other animals can’t think or feel. It seems correlated with ‘profits’ somehow.

    Any way, I hope NONE of the other dominant species on the planet have discovered who creates all the problems for them (cough)… We could continue our lies, and say that Aliens - or the evil ‘lizard people’ - made us do it ?



  • I never pay Capitalist corps/people unless pressured to a corner (most groceries, loans etc). I know they cheat, steal and lie - pretty much 24/7 - as their ‘free market’ gospel dictates, so any support for such a selfish/psychopathic organization are like shooting my self in the foot.

    Intellectual ‘property’ is a special anti-intellectual joke that have emerged inside an existing Capitalist dystopia where everyone have to fight everyone else for their lives. So suddenly, some Capitalist smuck could whistle a tune, declare that sequence of sounds as “MY PROPERTY” and then - through violence! - everyone around the world have to pay this moron for the sequence of sounds. It doesn’t get much more dumb than that. We even see cities ‘protect’ their landmarks, so a f’ing photo is illegal without paying up, copyright for well known everyday things, and so on. It is incredibly easy to find insane examples. It’s all a race to the bottom, sigh… Oc, Capitalism have zero to do with ‘free markets’, and everything to do with warring/exploitation/protectionism - but all corps will always exploit.

    Unfortunately, Capitalism runs on pure scarcity, so we can’t have surplus objects that can just be copied, tsk tsk, what disorder !! And of cause, if one lives in such a crappy backwards society, then everyone HAVE to fight for data that can be copyrighted, data that could otherwise be copied a gazillion times for everyones joy. So, Instead of free access to all that can be freely copied/enjoyed, we have capitalist silo’s of ‘property’, where everyone are forced to pay up to a conglomerate of capitalist cancer-like entities that will go to any length - even jailing people that refuse that violent/ridiculous property nonsense. No no, for propertarians, it’s better to slam everyone in the world with laws/threats of harm, to invade peoples privacy, and to have a whole multi-trillion business market, and an insane amount of law resources constantly working to keep this joke of a principle running. It all arose from out of that flawed premise of everyone fighting everyone else… Inefficient, stupid, and all just an unnecessary emergent artifact on top of the dumbest ideology the oligarchs ever invented.





  • This is all just Capitalist slop. Has nothing to do with AI or llms, just the kind of society it exists in and the type of psychopath corporations that delivers. We seem to forget that all other tool we use to de-shittify the net, ALL fight capitalist tendencies, but when AI comes along and gives the Capitalist believers a new tool for scamming people, then it is suddenly the tools fault !!

    People hate Capitalism, not the tool…





  • I certainly want it. The current anti-AI wave is irrational.

    That isn’t to say that AI is not a major potential existential problem when it goes to AGI and to ASI, or that AI in the hands of private Oligarch psychos are not a catastrophe, but the current hatred is of a different kind, are off the charts, actually evil, and have no relation to the tool it self, or the potential existential risks. The group have already been consumed by hatred and unfortunately, they are now also attacking ordinary Lemmy users that ‘admit’ that they use AI, or ‘admit’ that they treat it as a ‘friend’. You have all seen this. People just mentioning AI are downvoted and hated upon, people that use AI always get a “AI slop !” remark with them on their way. A large percentage, like this post, are subtly attacking that others even have a choice of utilizing AI in their daily life - because they hate it. This is kinder-garden level bullying !

    Most of the daily worries of AI, stems from the societal system we are in. Job loss (It’s build into the current system!), ‘AI’-slop (as if Capitalism didn’t create slop?), ‘Copyright’ idiocy that are only necessary in a combative type of society, AI+biz out-competing ordinary people, becoming poor, homeless etc, big monetary/political powers consolidating more power by misusing AI, an incredible amount of propaganda/marketing and manipulation and so on. The old system is incompatible with AI, so people are seeing things go in a wrong way, and feeling the cracks and dissonance between an old failing system, and the new possibilities we have. We - humanity - are in a transitional phase, where the old systems we follow, are no longer adequate, and will implode/convulse in to a new stable system. But the old system is stubbornly trying to keep going, while not having any answers, or any will, to adapt or even discuss the internal dissonance that are accelerating. THAT is the problem! Almost all current ‘AI’ problems that result in this hate backlash - comes directly from the failing type of society we have - not the tool/technology it self ! People should focus on the root-problem, not the tool it-self, and certainly not other users that need it.

    This whole group of angry people need to chill tf out and admit to them selves that they are mis-directing their hatred (valid or not), and that their hate are currently harming other ordinary people - not much different from them selves. Stop bullying others just because you can’t handle the inherent failings of the old crap system, a system build on pure combative ideology, “by the oligarchs, for the oligarchs”. Stop fighting for ‘Jobs’, and start fighting for a system where we don’t need ‘Jobs’, Stop fighting for ‘Copyright’, or any of the other insane protectionist ‘patches’ to the current bunkers society/ideology, and start fighting for a society where we don’t have to hoard ‘property’ to survive. Fight for a society that are compatible with where we are technologically/philosophically, one that are actually designed/intended to be compatible with peoples needs and their humble wishes for a safe and stimulating future.

    Lastly, being worried/focused on an ASI takeover of humanity, or common people being (more) controlled by the Oligarchs/Big Corp, etc, is completely legit, and it absolutely needs to be talked about, but this group of haters is just hating ‘AI’ and people using it in general, for the wrong reasons, and then lashing out towards those people that enjoy/need it now. (Good for you if you don’t need it in this society).

    This bullying has to stop. In the mean time, I and many others, are starting to use current AI to design/build systems that bring us all over this ideological molasses we are in, and land us on the other side as fast and safely as we can. You should probably do the same instead of being consumed by anger, but that is your choice to make. Thanks for reading.
