Good thing I only fedpromise, posting is for dweebs

These are just additional reasons to escalate domestic conflict in the U.S via acute, extra-legal means and accelerate self destruction

However we will vote instead, and organize what amount to hobby clubs / pantries that can only hold a candle to similar initiatives from grade schoolers

The fate of the most armed populace

amazing choice of words for the crowd who famously has immense respect for the word “no”

no let’s focus on supporting progressives and voting the very sorry nazi guy in

Too many, in fact.

Glad to hear that I am both fascist and ancom adjacent in my views, truly groundbreaking times we are in.

AI in a non-harmful, productive capacity precludes it from being actually intelligent, lest we let it cause us to waste away.

Pointing out what has been studied and well documented (the negative affects of the internet / similar technologies) is not primitivism.

One thing that has been pointed out in my industry is the automation driven degradation of indispensable skills. Things have gotten so bad that the FAA sent out a bulletin begging pilots to hand fly aircraft so that they can maintain their aeronautical aptitude.

A solution you might present and one that is often presented is more automation, pilotless commercial aircraft even. The problem is that these systems much like LLMs love to hallucinate. Autopilot loves to attempt suicide on commercial aircraft. (Commercial aircraft are subject to insane hours and duty cycles exposing them to much more wear than the drones we’re used to seeing.)

I bring this all up as real world comparison of what I expect us all to experience when we each are given our own mental autopilot. Degradation of mental skills.

I am not aware of the exact link you see between my question regarding our species and fascism. But I’ll surrender that it could have been phrased better.

Struggle is in all facets of life, not just what’s physical and aesthetic (which I imagine is what fascists are most concerned with).

I’m not making a point about “survival of the fittest” or something along those line when I speak of struggle. I’m speaking in regards to struggle in interpersonal relationship management, the source of most frustration for many. And I would say that it’s valid to be concerned of struggle like that being removed from our lives in place of two AI talking to eachother when we already have people using LLMs to solve their interpersonal conflicts for them. Another skill that will degrade without struggle.

We already have an overabundance of production in the world, those bereft of the things they need are in that position because in our overindulgence we have decided to take from them as well.

Wanting to restrict AI given it’s purported trajectory in capability is more akin to wanting denuclearization than advocating for the cessation of all things post industrial.

Let me ask anyone reading this one question; Is the theory you consume the backbone of actual substantive practice from you as the authors intended, or is the consumption of theory just a hobby and it’s discussion a way for you to feel a part of a community?

First, I must submit that I am prejudiced against AI, LLMs, and anything under that umbrella.

Next, I will admit that I did not read your entire post- as I found it very difficult to follow. I can say with confidence that it was not written by AI though, as an LLM would have made it a little more coherent.

I did however read the sections I thought most relevant.

Now let me say, I do not care if AI is intelligent. I do not care if AI is bad for the environment. I do not care that AI has the potential to replace “jobs”. I do not care if AI is evil or not.

But what makes me care, and what seems to be missing from your post, is- the point.

Let’s say the world’s AI is ultra intelligent, costs 1 watt an hour to run, and is subserviently friendly- and while we’re at it, why not say that the world has passed universal basic income and the lack of jobs are no longer a concern. What’s the point?

What are we freeing up so much time for? Unfettered consumption?

You speak of evolution, you make some interesting points and comparisons in regards to it. Did we not evolve in the face of struggle? What of our species if we take struggle away? Are we to become the people depicted in WALL-E?

AI will destroy critical thought and interpersonal relationships, like the internet destroyed the community and the aircraft destroyed the family.

These facets of technology may serve to benefit the masses under communism as any tool might. But only if they are completely reconceptualized.

Why should we care?

I honestly believe that history will know us as a people only concerned with our indulgences and digital escapes.

The slop is starting to taste like slop now? Ok. It’s getting harder to escape through the mediums you’ve been accustomed to? Ok. Why should we be allowed to escape anymore?

I don’t think any facet of western terror can be separated from our proclivity to hide in its benefits and escape from addressing it.

You won’t see me surprised or upset that the slop government is making a joke using the slop genre of entertainment

The guy is just the epitome of left driven electoral failure, keep voting and see if something changes though

What about the good ones?

Least surprising and most predictable development yet

I see some people worried about the implementation of this tech and it’s effectiveness but what has the u.s / israel done other than prove that no amount of tech can beat out actual experience and will?

u.s americans have nothing to fight for- even if an adversary were at the doorstep of the states, if this tech were to ever see mass adoption it would just be used to supplement the long and arduous training (or experience) competent soldiers have to go through

it’s the same mentality we all see in civil professions, ai and other tech are shoehorned in to replace actual experience and wisdom leaving workers bereft of most opportunities to gain expertise- all this will do is create a much weaker and incompetent imperial warmachine

look at my revolutionaries dawg… we’re so fucked

Reoriented this post to question people in the imperial core for ‘falling for it’ and it’s a hit

I align with your pessimism.

The fact is, in the U.S especially- you are either a reactionary or you’re left adjacent and too comfortable with your imperialism dividends to make the required sacrifices needed for a mass movement.

I think this is why even some self described MLs advocate for electoral solutions, it’s the easy way out.

Fascism must be allowed to rise and fall in the, U.S americans must go through a revolutionary crisis- it’s the only needle that can penetrate the balloon of american hubris. The last century has proven this, yet we’re told to prolong the inevitable and necessary with soc dem elections / dead-end - non-militant organizing.

Trump, his cronies, and the tech twats have done more to put the U.S and much of the left into a positive position than many of the civil-centric organizing left adjacent people have ever done. People want to talk about material interests driving class consciousness and political fervor- well those are the people driving the needed material conditions.

Yes, funny that you mentioned the American perception of danger.

Any time I mention visiting a country outside of western europe / the caribbean tourist hell- I literally get told I’m going to be chopped up or murdered.

I think any american willing to travel outside of the aforementioned places is someone with a mind already changed. For me it only confirmed what I already knew about the rest of the world.

And some of your replies are very correct, and a surface level conversation with most american hogs will prove it: the majority have not traveled abroad and many aren’t even well versed in the states / workings of their own country.

He can pull from his G.I bill, bye bye

Trust that I agree with you on this, I use the word “master” intentionally though- as we are subjected to their whims without any say in the matter.

There are also many of us who are (unwittingly) dependent or addicted to their products / services. You and I both know plenty of people who give into almost every impulse incentivized by these products, especially when in the form of entertainment.

Our communities are now choc full of slaves and solicitors- a master is an enemy yes, but only when his slaves know who owns them.

It will be as bad as it is now with an even higher intensity.

We will see it continue to be used as a substitute for research, learning, critical or even surface level thinking, and interpersonal relationships.

If and when our masters create an AI that is actually intelligent, and maybe even sentient as depicted in movies- it will be a thing that provides biased judgments behind a veneer of perceived objectivity due to its artificial nature. People will see it as a persona completely divorced from the prejudices of its creators as they do now with chat GPT. And who ever can influence this new “objective” truth will wield considerable power.
