the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

like maybe the public would be getting less frothy and toothy about this if big tech hadn’t spent the last three years constantly threatening the public with impoverishment and feudal control, idk

I do feel bad for all the legitimately good tech people out there catching strays over this, but let’s make sure we’re keeping our eyes on the “genuine threat of technofascism” ball

I spend a lot less time lying awake at night worrying about the left actually going full Luddite than I do about the techno fascists winning the entire game.

I think reality has a left-leaning bias, and it bugs me when people feel the need to lie/spread misinformation for "leftist" causes Like there's a vocal contingent of the left that no longer cares about what's true, only what FEELS right. I think that makes us less effective!
