Big Georgesaw this somewhere earlier and now I cant find it, so to be clear, ITS NOT MINE...
"Why is everyone so worried about immigrants taking thier jobs, but no one is worried about AI taking thier jobs"
or something like that....
robcorneliusSo builder.ai is just a few hundred Indian coders being worked to death?
There is a lesson for us all here but exactlty what it is escapes me at the moment
Denis 🌏@allenmichie @livus Can't tell if your comment is pro or con but, yes, Luddites, absolutely.
And that's a GOOD thing.
It's time we do what they did, two hundred years ago.
"...workers knows as the Luddites rose up rather than starve at the hands of factory owners who were using automated machines to erase their livelihoods."
Kagan MacTane (he/him)A Luddite is a person who wants technology to benefit the lower echelons of society (workers, low wage-earners, etc), instead of those at the top (bosses, millionaires, corporations).
And who is willing to take action to stop those top dogs from using technology to trample those at the bottom.
Be a Luddite.

Julian WigleyI really like Mastodon, as it allows more than 280 characters to expand a thought on subjects of interest. This freedom has allowed me to post a brief experiment outside my personal blog, where I compare how the various AI platforms generate images from the same prompt i.e. A Western Front soldier with a peace dove.
The image below was generated using Stable Diffusion (SD). If I understand right, the algorithms trawled through Linkedin head shots to compose the face. I can forgive the six fingers.
See earlier posts using Lightricks and Midjourney to generate similar images.
There is a bit of whimsy in this version produced by SD in the dynamic shape of the dove, but it is not as powerful as the steel dove in the Lightricks version… my imagination decided that the rifle held by the soldier was crushed and forged into a peace dove. The Midjourney version is just pretty. A reminder that everything is political.
