We’re all being fucked by corporate AI anyways, and none of us are in the room to shape decisions. To me, using AI (and especially paying for it from the likes of chatGPT) is capitulating to the oppressors and doesnt actually allow us any greater control over the technology’s future. It teaches reliance on a technology that has the express purpose of replacing our need to think and our labor. I don’t pretend it doesnt exist because I’m not delusional, but I will argue that it’s ultimately harmful to society with my last breath, at least in it’s current forms.
Comment on ChatGPT is shifting rightwards politically

My root issue with people who shit on AI is that by pretending like it doesn’t exist or refusing to use it, your voice is not part of the conversation.
The world will use AI, regardless of your personal feelings.
And if you arent in the room to help shape decisions, don’t be surprised when we are fucked.

That argument was to be had with Apple twenty years ago as they built their walled garden, which intentionally frustrates people into going all in apple. Still can’t get anyone to care about dark patters/deceptive design, or disney attacking the creative Commons which it parasitically grew or of. AI isn’t and has never been the real issue. It’s just absorbs all the hate the corpos should be getting as they use it, along with every other tool at their disposal, to slowly fuck us into subservience. Honestly, AI is teaching us the importance of diverse perspectives in intelligent systems, and the dangers of overfitting, which exist in our own brains and social/economic systems.
Same issue, different social ecosystem being hoarded by the wealthy.

so I guess I have to disable my ad blocker if I want “my voice to be a part of conversation” about online ads, tracking, and online privacy? do I have to buy a car and drive it everywhere if I want “my voice to be a part of conversation” about congestion, road safety, and air pollution, too? I’m afraid to ask what I need to do if I’m concerned about children safety and I want to join that conversation.

I wasn’t in the room when my ex cheated on me. She was still fucked, and so was I.

I don’t work at OpenAI so, I’m not implementing anything that would change it. I prefer to keep practicing my critical thinking, programming, and creative skills and there is no ethical model to use so, I’ll continue not to use it, for the most part.

A billion fake Nazi troll accounts, or as felon likes to call them, x users, has already done the damage.
Unless we can counter by creating billions of raffi and Mr rogers and bob Ross bobnets the only hope is to learn to make your own emp devices.

If we were all in the room, we could strangle Sam Altman or whatever other capitalist dog was calling the shots.

I don’t think I’m quite the target of this comment because I don’t pretend it doesn’t exist or that it isn’t something that people use or care about. But I do avoid using AI for anything that matters… like at all. I also refuse to use chatgpt or any of the commercial offerings. I do play around with locally hosted stuff because the tech is interesting, but there is no way I would ever put my faith in it. Also, my feelings toward the biggest players in the industry are at best “disgust”. So I don’t want to use their products.
So my question then how exactly can I be in the room to help shape decisions? The only two levers I have to pull is whether or not to send those companies money, and whether to even use the free services or not.
What exactly am I supposed to do? The companies will just make whatever models and tune them however they feel will achieve whatever goals they have regardless. And presently, their goals do not align with mine.
I won’t be surprised when we are fucked. I promise you that. I can see that coming. But I feel utterly powerless to stop the tech fascists.
