I'm not a huge fan of "don't obey in advance," as it implies that there is a correct and useful point at which one should obey fascists. "Fuck you, make me" or even just "fuck you" work much better.

But goddamn it, "ethical AI" *is* obedience. It is acquiescence. It's the narrative refuge of quisling appeasers. It is an absolutely *vapid* intellectual stance that does nothing but muddies the waters when it comes to the fascist project of enclosing culture with AI.

I don't say this kind of thing often, but I'm going to ask for a favor here in a pretty rude way.

If you feel compelled to tell anyone about "ethical AI" or to start soapboxing about "AI ethics," please please please shut the fuck up. Just, seriously. If you aren't going to help, at least don't jump in and start causing even more problems.
