"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.

yeah the GOP will produce an edict about how AI is good and they'll probably fall in line.
Well, except the ones paying more for everything - hey wait a minute, that's what we get with everything GOP what the fuck
Humans First is a conservative social movement that is dedicated to ensuring that the future of AI is in the hands of everyday people.
That doesn't sound anti-AI to me.
Guess I'll have to ask AI to draw the state lines in on that map....
Woke AI companies are making all conservative men super gay.
Makes sense. Both the Harkonnens and the Atreides were anti ai.
Like other commenters are saying: it’ll be sweet if anti ai sentiment unites people but the entirety of human history suggests people will cooperate until the threat is over and then they’ll break upon lines of who wipes standing or sitting or some other dumb shit.
This feels super weird. Would they turn liberals away if they showed up? (Or at least tell them to go protest across the street because "this side is for anti-globalists" or whatever.) I dunno, just seems odd to try to create a popular movement specifically by alienating people who would agree with them on that particular issue.
doubtful, since conservatives are almost always protesting out of selfishness, they voted for this to happen and just now they dont like it because its literally on thier doorsteps.
lefties should use it as an opportunity for solidarity.
Nobody should show solidarity with those who voted for a pedophile.
then you will actually divide as a nation, theres no way around it. i'm personally not against that as a Canadian who doesn't want you invading us but I hope your prepared for what that will actually intale when the devide happens.
you act as if this single protest isnt out of selfishness, it is, they only care now because the AI DC are in thier counties with no restrictions. when since did the cons ever protested with "THE LEFT" on the more important things that happened recently. by the way its always been left vs right+ center right since reagan came around.
The United States has been divided for a long time now, even more so since 2016.
Ideologically yes, but not literally.
"The conservative movement has been transformed by President Trump into a movement that puts the interests of everyday Americans first. Now, Big AI globalists seek to hijack our movement to get Washington, D.C. to put Big AI before the American people."
First of all, LOL
Secondly, the calls are coming from inside the party, dipshits.
I don’t care about inflation
Donald J Trump, convicted rapist
This is what always gets me.
US dems will throw their leaders under the bus in a split second, or fry them over the slightest past scandal.
Even those that won't will criticize them over specific issues.
Most Republicans, no matter what, cannot blame Trump.
He is objectively, full-throated pro Big Tech; he invited them all to Washington. He is talking about a national OpenAI stake, he is talking up data centres, he literally brought Elon Musk into his cabinet. He's publicly received hundreds in millions of dollars in donations from Tech CEOs! Repeatedly.
Yet even this movement simply cannot bring themselves to say "maybe he's wrong on this one?"
One of the big common themes of conservatism is following the leader. They all want to bend the knee. They love hierarchy.
Well, the flip-side is there doesn't seem to be nuance or waffling, either.
To Republicans, he's either with them, or not; regular folks who break with Trump over an issue seem to renounce him entirely, from what I've seen.
...Hence I'm positing this could be a breaking point.
I think some Trump supports who join this movement, and start watching his actions closely, are going to hit it. Some already did over Epstein, but this is an issue with broader direct impact in peoples' lives.
To Republicans, he's either with them, or not; regular folks who break with Trump over an issue seem to renounce him entirely, from what I've seen.
Because once that last straw hits, they stop willfully ignoring everything else and the cognitive dissonance collapses.
Maybe the USA has finally found an issue to get behind and unify itself against?
I hate AI because I don't want some rando easily doxing me for no good reason anytime they want. I assume the other side wants the same. They don't want us to find out about all the little nasty evil things they do. I can get behind that, I understand.
Man, even when they're doing something good, they still have to frame it as "I come first!"
its thier " the only moral abortion is my abortion" type of behaviour
Conservatives categorically lack the brain capacity to consider others, never mind put them first.
thier protests will likely fail, because its more about themselves than the greater good of a group.
Seems more like a lack of empathy than brain capacity. Moral and intellectual defects are not the same.
Actually there's a fair amount of emerging neuroscience that shows that the brains of people with conservatives worldviews have lowered activity in the regions that process empathy, lowered activity in the regions that engage and resolve conflicts , and biased towards feeling threatened in a safe situation.
they have a higher fear center.

How amazing would it be if our hatred for AI slop is what finally unites the working class against the billionaires?
In a sense, it will
There was a guy who started talking about how they used AI in their ads and noticed way less conversion rate. They decided, fuck it, like write on cardboard and do something real and human. Waaaay better results.
I think the big wigs are going to realize they're getting ripped off by AI, told it's the future and that they need to invest and adopt before anyone else, and they're now realizing they're spending millions to save thousands.

"IT'S AFFECTING ME NOW!!!!"
Think they'll beat the living fuck out of some cops and attempt to murder some politicians? Seems to be the standard for their "protests".
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Anti AI, anti cops, and anti politicians is a threefer.
