CD-JEN 80 minutes📀🏳️⚧️AI is not unavoidable, you don't have to "learn to live with it". You can say no.
Stop the tech authoritarianism.
I mean, why should we accept it? Why should it always be like "oh, the tech industry have its new obsession, they put it everywhere, so we all have to bow to it or learn to live with it around"? No! It doesn't have to be like that!
sauc3I am so glad that you wrote this! More people need to just say no when it comes to this "AI" crap. It is not inevitable! I think about what Sarah Conner would say if she could see us today.
Ashwin DixitIt is not up to us to put the cat back in its bag, the genie back in its bottle, or the horrors of Pandora's Box back into the box. We just have to adapt to these changes and make the best of them.
Don't lose hope. Consider that there may be good ways of adapting to AI. Here are a few ideas:
@purrperl What I'm saying here is more about being able to just ignore it entirely if we want to. If it's a big no to you, why should it be forced to you anyway?
Saying no should, and in that instance perfectly can (because that's software issue and there's still a massive number of softwares out there working as they always had without it) always be a choice.
If you fell in a coma, like Rip Van Winkle, in 1990, and woke up today, would you be able to get a job? Without knowledge of computers, and the Internet? You would be lost, until you caught up with the employment market, where everyone is using computers.
AI is the same way. You won't find work unless you can use it, because others are going to use it.
Here's a short film that covers that in the first 2 minutes ( the rest is just entertaining ).

Kevin P. Fleming@transcendentempress Unfortunately it does when our governments and community organizations choose to solely use those big tech platforms for communication and interaction with their participants.
@kevin You can still choose to completely ignore it in all other situations.
@transcendentempress Indeed, and I have so far successfully avoided it even in those situations but it gets more difficult with every passing day.

I say no, to the degree ageing me is able. what irritates me is NYTimes talks AI down (their lawsuit they boilerplate in every article, the water consumption, the energy consumption, the this, the that), and talks it up (the opportunities, if used wisely etc etc).
there is no *responsible* use of AI, IMHO, it's only irresponsible.
end rant.

Alexander Corby 🇵🇷@transcendentempress Last summer, my administration had a two day workshop about how to use MagicSchool, the AI learning platform that will create lesson plans for us and monitor student's use of ChatGPT and such. It wasn't required that we use it, but we were heavily pressured.
I haven't touched it. I give my students tests and writing assignments on paper. If my school has a problem with that they can find another physics/theater/computer science teacher.

I’ve been avoiding it. Also I ducked NFTs & Crypto.
None of those things are the future. They are things made to deny us a future.

@transcendentempress "learn to live with it" really is the motto that our elites want us to internalize, isn't it? learn to live with AI. learn to live with COVID. learn to live with climate change. learn to live with capitalism. learn to live with fascism.
except for the millions, eventually billions of us that don't get to live with those things ravaging our societies, our bodies, our ecosystems.
