i don't really want to hear anymore about how ai "works for me" or "doesn't work for me" or anything like that

this is conceding the framing of the debate on totally self-centered terms and ignoring the massive societal effects of this hideous technology

this is how capitalism trains you to think and it's wild to see how many people still have these individualism brainworms even when they can clearly see the societal cost and it also impacts them specifically

@ana AI is just turbocharge for capitalist exploitation and alienation and asking to go back to the time when the exploitation was just right and didn't have a bunch of accelerant sprayed all over it isn't going to work in this system.

but i also have no idea what I can do aside from an individualist critique because broadly it doesn't seem to be easily recognized that this isn't going to get better unless capitalism ends. the article referenced here doesn't seem to fully grasp that either.

it's just depressing.
