"Rancid oligarchs and zombie corpos should not be allowed to pillage from our air, water, and soil. Attacking ai specifically for this solves nothing."
And what does defending and promoting "AI" (which is a marketing lie since there is no intelligence involved) do to prevent oligarchs and corpos from pillaging our natural resources?
@Nouvellalia @7101334 funny how really the only argument AI boosters can make with regards to its environmental impact is "what about all the other stuff that is worse". What about it? What about that? Look over there! Yes I've been concerned about all those things, for many years, because I've been concerned about climate change, for many years. You haven't?

> Farming, fishing, and electricity inherently degrade our planet far more than AI.
Inherently? It's just a matter of time.
@Doomsider @stickyprimer people are going to make AI into a religion regardless. We did it with books when they were first invented.
@tomiant @punkwalrus Applied to interactions between strangers, "Hanlon's Razor" is a recipe for getting scammed.
@majster The difference here is between someone who wants to enact violence against others by forcefully expelling them from their homes vs someone who wants to enact violence against others by denying them a safe haven after they have been forcefully expelled from their homes. To me, this falls under the category of "differences between nazis/fascists/xenophobic nationalists which only a nazi/fascist/xenophobic nationalist would care about". @wetling
@Plebcouncilman @yuknowhokat orrrr, leftists realize that automation doesn't guarantee anything in terms of political arrangements and, having analyzed the structure and ideology of current LLM ownership, recognize that the dangers of expanding water consumption and GHG emissions are certain, the capacity for disinformation is immense, and the theoretical benefits are decades off, if they ever happen at all.
@Nouvellalia aw look at you, complaining about being bullied by gamgam. That's adorable.
>It should be open source and given back to the people.”
What should be open source? Machine learning to detect cancer? Absolutely. Generative CSAM? How about no? By failing to distinguish between the different things lumped under the marketing lie that's is "AI," you promote and defend Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.
