Comment on AI’s Impact on Black Americans
cashmaggot@piefed.social 2 months agoOh for sure, you're most right! I mean we see it replicated over and over and over again in our society in so many spaces how would the ripples not continue onward into cybernetics. Something I often think about is if it's not/hasn't happened to you, you don't even tend to think about it. And by it, I mean being oppressed in some manner pertaining specifically to something you cannot change. They're also cannibalizing the middle class. So in the end you really probably will just have the "global" ruling class and the "indignant" and "ungrateful" others who they must charitably coexist with. But I also think it's like...the concept behind Deus Ex/Snowpiercer (Idk too many SciFi things don't come at me with pitchforks). So like, sci-fi writers got one up on us.
But I always figure, if you want to remember you've been bought and sold as a whole (no matter your class, ethnic background, or gender as long as you're not the top dog) I always point towards Russell Means Welcome to the Reservation because he proposes that America as a whole is a reservation because just because you think you're "free" doesn't mean you actually are free.
Eh! The whole thing gets me sad.
