    Your evangelism for AI is extremely annoying. It makes my job worse, it costs people their jobs, and billions of gallons of water and fossil fuel are used to power it. We do not need this shit it’s absolutely worthless and it is entirely reasonable to be against it especially under capitalism, but probably even afterward.

      The reality is that this tech isn’t going anywhere. The only question is who will control it going forward. What’s really annoying is that so many people on the left can’t seem to wrap their heqda around this basic fact.

      The worst possible scenarios is that it will be controlled by the corps who will decide who can use it and how they can use it. This is precisely what will happen if people who have concerned about this tech ineffectually boycott it.

      The only path forward is to develop it in the open and to make sure the development is community driven with regular people having a say.

      We’ve already gone through all this with proprietary software and open source, it’s absolutely incresible that we have to have this discussion all over again.
