Well duh, all effective propaganda uses a kernel of truth. Repeating that kernel of truth does not make actual concern for the state of things propaganda, that’s crazy.

There’s nothing wrong with opposing technology as it currently stands. Maybe there’s room for nuance in language, but that doesn’t break their argument.

As it currently stands, the user above is right, and the labor of human artists is being siphoned into corporate profit with zero compensation. In the same way, at the beginning of the industrial revolution the labor of children was siphoned into profit with low compensation and deadly work conditions.

The way the textile industry was “fixed” was by opposition: speaking about the issues related to the technical developments and advocating for better treatment of the laborers. The only way AI as it currently stands can be “fixed” is also by opposition. Being critical of AI doesn’t mean “turn it off,” it means speaking about the issues related to the new technology and advocating for better treatment of the laborers.

Enabling millions of people to jump traditional entry barriers is a good thing

Except often it’s not even traditional entry barriers. Look how bad Google search has gotten, overrun by AI blogposts and advertising slop. Those aren’t entry barriers, those are “hold up, is this even content?” barriers.

But more to the point, the genie is out of the bottle, and no amount of objection is going to stuff it back in.

We regulated the assembly line and gave laborers compensation and safety rights when power tools increased their capacity. So too, we could force OpenAI et al to compensate the copyright holders from whom they scraped data. No one is calling for the genie to go back in, only for the corporatists to stop being the ones with all the wishes.

It’s because AI enthusiasts are genuinely proud and in awe of their work, and those that are still staunchly pro-AI are unaware of how much damage they have already done.

Two key facts:

• Generative AI is powerful and amazing
• Generative AI was immediately sold to the capital-owning class and is now being developed and guided by the motivations of profit

Freya Holmér does excellent analysis at around the 43:00 mark. She notes that AI represents a story of human triumph, and the innate quality or “coolness” that lies in that. But on the other hand, she explains how generative AI has quite quickly become entirely devorced from positively amplifying human expression. Exceptions to this exist, where people use AI creatively as an extension of themselves, but are exceptions only and not the rule.

I see other threads here discussing “is there even demand for authentic human art?” And those discussions ignore that yes, there is, and that authentic human art was scraped from copyright holders on the internet without their consent. “Is there even demand for human art?” is what is being asked, when the technology in question was immediately bought up and exploited by billion-dollar companies who are gaining immensely more value from generative AI than even the most lucrative AI-artist.

I encourage “AI bros” reading this to look around and engage with the art world. Genuinely. If you have always wanted to be a screenwriter or painter hobbyist, go engage with those stories. Go and see the human experiences, training and techniques that are visible in every line and brush stroke. Creativity is quite a wonderful and powerful thing and I always encourage it.

Then, after you have experienced these works to a new degree, look back. Don’t even ask “is AI good”—because we all agree, it’s an amazing feat. Instead ask “do I want this technology to be monopolized by corporate interests?”

Understanding of the feminine libido has been repressed, not only from science, but from women themselves, until fairly recently.

It’s more likely a field thing. People who work in fields highly dedicated to equity (esp. those working in healthcare) are especially concerned with their language and so create style guides that people outside those fields have gleaned from.

Example:

• National Institutes of Health
• American Heart Association
• US National Archive

Women don’t owe you sex, learn and grow as a person

you’re thinking of FECA probably. inauguration vs campaign funds are different things, and Citizens United was about campaign funds.

yeah it does

i raise you polly pocket shoes

I don’t need to tell you when your defense makes it quite clear itself lol

showing 6 timestamps does nothing to disprove my suspicions either lol

Removed Comment I think that’s just because the same mod being one of the only few people posting there. My best guess is that his pendulum just swings a bit too far to the other side to the point where he’s sympathetic to those terrorist groups, like a lot of other leftists. by DarkThoughts@fedia.io reason: Leftists = terrorist sympathisers?

YDI from what i can see, sorry homie

cite specifics when doing accusations or get downvoted

The perceived need you talk about was very real.

Well the perceived need I talk about had to do with emotional repression, so looks like you badly misunderstood.

bell hooks is truly a blessing! she’s certainly not the first to do so, but she’s the most forefront and accessible of feminist voices to attend to the needs and experiences of men under patriarchy.
