"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
The political right hates AI a little less than the left, but not by super much, and some forces from the emerging America First movement are getting ready to protest AI's invasiveness and capacity for manipulation. The org is called Humans First, and they're trying to have a 50501-style nationwide protest about it on July 18th. If both sides cooperate on this one, good things can actually happen, so this should get talked about. A lot. https://www.humansfirst.com/
Thanks for the list of targets. The enemy of my enemy isn't my friend, if they also explicitly consider me to be less than human
Your enemy is the capitalist class, not uneducated roles with a false sense of class solidarity.
¿Porque no los dos?
"The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. Nothing more."
Am... am I about to go to a conservative protest? That was not on my bingo card.
Edit: I'd be curious to hear from the AI data center fanboys down voting me.
Shit is gonna get weirder before it gets more normal. The end might be in sight but the ride ain't over. I'm pretty sure America First is what most Trump voters thought they were voting for. Not especially friendly on social policy but not controlled top-down like MAGA and the Tea Party. More American, less 'murica AFAIK
The end is only near if workers are on the same side. This might be the thing that does it.
Good! Conservatives are KNOWN to Vote for Politicians that SUPPORT their Interests INSTEAD of voting for Literally whoever has an R by their name REGARDLESS of Policy! THIS will SCARE their Representatives STRAIGHT!
Guess I'll have to ask AI to draw the state lines in on that map....
Too many gray areas (bodies of water) on that map with no red anywhere near them. The people there are going to be really surprised to learn that they've been living on some tech company's water all their lives, and that their local water board all retired and left the state at the same time.
They are the easiest to rile up, and require the least evidence to be proven for the case you are making. You just have you sound passionate and constantly repeat how you want a better country for working class Americans and it all falls in to place. Say shit like we are getting cucked by Bibi, and big tech. Throw them a few freebies and talk shit about some safe ones like bill gates or mark zuckerberg. When they say something like Facebook bans you for not being woke just nod along and remind them that Ai is the tool doing that. systematically being used to take away your freedom of speech, and is the catalyist to why everyone needs their ID to even make a comment.
Sometimes you don't shy away from something because don't like it or are to thin skinned to let another persons opinions get in the way of your beliefs.
Sometimes you want to occupy "right adjecent" spaces and make them a little gay. Be the voice that interjects and calls out bullshit but does it in a way that appeals to that audience. Like maybe don't unsub from a channel you like once you learn their political beliefs, just be part of the community and try not to shit where you eat.
You gotta be the little ear worm in their ears. Whether it be a relative, a YouTube comment, your friend, whomever. Tell them the same facts you spout off on reddit, just add a little right wing twist to it. Maybe don't even make it about trump. Which is becoming less of an issue now. I don't know if you guys have noticed but the people I work with that are right wing are actually agreeing with me now when I say trumps a pedo or bring up Israel.
I think even the younger republicans who are on tiktok and weird live streaming apps are saying to vote Democrat almost as a punishment to their own party. The whole maga movement feels like its breaking down, and republicans as a whole are getting their brains melted and are very vulnerable to new ideas right now.
When they really sit down and think about it they want the same thing as us. They just have a filter that prevents them from being able to absorb certain shaped info. As soon as you find info that can get through just fucking flood it, and eventually it will all just snap and they'll get it.
“What!!! AI is helping men become pregnant?!?” /s
Nah I would go with something like "Prager U ai that is being forced into schools is teaching the kids that men can and WILL be forcibly pregenated by dom tops"
Then I would go on to say how the rich don't want ai in their schools and instead pay hundreds of thousands to go to private schools with no computers only 1 on 1 class sessions. I will go on to say how some how Prager U is stealing your tax payer money and making your kids more dumb and teaching them woke gay stuff, because the ai is dumb and made by israel.
I can AdLib this kind of stuff all day.
The whole thing kind of reads like a Progressive[^1] attempt to dress progressive ideas[^2] in traditionalist aesthetics in order to appeal to Conservatives.
[^1]: More like Gray Tribe, actually [^2]: Kind of weird that the current frontier of technology is considered conservative and opposing it is considered progressive - but here we are.
lefties should use it as an opportunity for solidarity.
Yeah, like what Von Hindenburg and the liberals did in 1930s Germany, right?
Nobody will show up for that, because it means going against their orange pedo-daddy, and they are incapable of doing that.
Luis Rosman will be happy I guess.
