no you see, abuses of technology are ‘inevitable.’ we can’t do anything about it, and should just accept it forever no matter how bad it gets. /s

he is correct that this is great for “content creation,” just not art

there are religious fanatics who believe the end of the world is both imminent and desirable. i think there are some interesting parallels there you may want to think about. anyway peace!

there’s a category of person who will see people rightly complaining about something and just automatically go “wow why are people mad about this and not this other thing? also i know nothing about any of this”

it’s basically a test to see if you were serious or a troll. if you were serious, you’d have actually cared about and considered what i had to say there, because it’s a very real observation (not even a counterargument really). if you were a troll, you’d react how you reacted just now. since youre apparently not…

i see the AI stuff as basically people who like to play with toys, but when the toys affect the actual world in negative ways they just don’t care or find it validating. i feel like we need better humanities education in order to combat this but it’s a pretty deep problem at this point

if your only position is to accept things as inevitable regardless of whether they are used for good or bad, then you do not really have a vision for the future

i agree with you that we need to fight for a future where human life is valued. this is why it’s so important to fight against this technology; we are under capitalism, where the technology will be very effectively used to help crush workers/creatives. so while there may be positives to the technology, it is not…

under capitalism this technology will be used to help crush workers and creatives, many of whom have their own physical limitations, have difficulty working in other fields, etc. so i would say that your support of the technology is in fact ableist in a very real way. i dont think that makes you a bad person, but i do…

i get what you’re saying, but what luke is saying is pretty straightforward. the current situation is kind of like if chess sites allowed people to use engine assistance. it’s clearly an insult and a bad thing, in spite of the fact that the people who developed chess engines undoubtedly worked hard and are very…

what’s running the ship is capitalists who do not value humanity. they will use these technologies in an attempt to crush workers/creatives. as people who value humanity, we should feel energized to fight back and not allow them to just do that. we need to cherish ourselves as humans as much as possible because the…

i suspect your job is about to become much less sustainable as capitalists begin to value human artists less and less. so yes i do think this is a threat to creativity

i think you should cherish human ego instead of looking down on it!

‘oh you dont like how this technology is used? you are just an old out-of-touch person. this is the future!’

yeah but this lets them get away with making even shittier, more derivative art for much cheaper if we let them.

we should take this as a lesson that we actually need to work towards normal people being able to determine or at least influence which technologies get developed/adopted and how

not really too much of a surprise, when you limit or remove access to something people are addicted to this is to be expected. it’s good to know that this is the kind of reaction we need to be prepared for in these kinds of situations

it only looks like humans are egotistical assholes because the egotistical assholes are inherently elevated by capitalism. 

i especially enjoy the people saying “here’s why these socialist countries failed/arent really socialist” who clearly got all their information from like a 10-minute youtube video

usa is like enormously corrupt at all levels though....
