OpenAI stole research out from under mathematicians' noses and now suddenly all the STEM bros are very hot and bothered
(lemmy.world)
Didn't care when the arts and humanities were being scraped dry, but suddenly they're all coming out against it now that they're going after the sciences
You're committing the blunder of alienating your allies. Complaining, that "the STEM bros" didn't push back against AI earlier, is just gatekeeping.
They alienated us first, can we acknowledge that?
For specific individuals who personally alienated us, yeah, sure. But if you generalize and broadly accuse all tech bros, there will be people who think you're targeting them, even though they've never actively alienated us.
Let's not let ourselves be divided unnecessarily.
It was "STEM bros" that continued to champion generative AI and make it possible for it to become the planet-sized threat it has turned into now. It was "STEM bros" that consistently belittled the concerns of those in the arts and the humanities when they were warning against what their creations were doing. It was "STEM bros" that kept telling everyone they were making a big deal out of nothing, that the environmental effects were overblown, that it's a whole lot of fearmongering.
They are not allies to those of us, in STEM and in other disciplines alike, that have been trying to hold the line against generative AI from the start. For them to turn against it now that it's suddenly infringing on their careers is self-serving and while I do not begrudge their support I will sure as hell not genuflect and thank them for it.
Goomba fallacy

Us security nerds are right in the center of STEM and we have been vocal the whole time
You're over-generalizing and it's leading you to bad conclusions, which is why people are downvoting you.
It's called STEAM now to include art.
