“I’m just so exhausted by both sides of the AI argument” imagine being the kind of piss baby that sees a mass of people who are righteously furious at a system designed from the top down to fuck them over, and decides the anger is just as much of a problem as the exploitation

oh cool yet another “I’m exhausted by all the anti-AI anger” post got boosted onto my feed

please don’t let anyone gatekeep your own anger away from you, especially when your ability to exist and to make a living are both under active attack. if you’re angry because of LLM-enabled war crimes, the loss of our software commons, or any of the other wrongs the AI industry has started that never stopped, you aren’t wrong. you don’t owe the people enabling and forgiving this stuff your kindness.

and since there was some very off stuff in this last post about how “morality isn’t absolute” in “the trans discourse”, let me make something clear

the AI-critical spaces I help operate are for trans and marginalized people above all else. they are spaces with no place for people who exploit other people.

in AI and all other “discourse”, if that’s what we’re calling the trans genocide being orchestrated by the far right, I am and always will be against the side doing the exploitation.

I cannot keep doing this but since today’s has seen a number of boosts:

the people asking you to stop forcing slop and ongoing damage onto their communities are not purity testing you. they’re asking for basic human decency.

no, disliking LLMs doesn’t make you… a list of right-wing stereotypes for leftists???? is this what we’re doing now?

please don’t use ChatGPT to self-diagnose or treat medical issues. seriously, please don’t do that or advocate for it.

it is of course rich as always that the examples for purity testing are shit like vegans being correctly harsh about the environmental impact of the meat industry (and I say this as someone who eats, medically, way too much meat) and not, for example, getting kicked out of a leftist group for expressing support for the people doing one of the ongoing genocides that use LLMs to both select targets and to hinder accountability for the resulting murders. you know, aka “kicking out an asshole”

anyway seriously please don’t use ChatGPT or any other LLM to self-diagnose or treat a medical condition. it’s such a dangerous thing to do that OpenAI warns you to not do it and they’re the type that has no qualms about their technology being used to kill people at random.

LLMs are designed to trick people, and an LLM has already tricked you into being a fucking asshole. if you trust an LLM’s output for medical issues, it won’t be long until it tricks you into being a dead fucking asshole.

oh no there I go purity testing again
Show thread[object Object]Mar 15
and while we’re fucking here, what insular group are you being purity tested out of again? cause if you talk to people outside of tech or read any of the polling that’s been done, you’ll realize very quickly that the general public fucking hates AI. they might not know why on a technical level but they don’t have to, they know a massive grift when they see one.

so uh if we’re going with purity testing, how am I doing it and not the tiny group of tech assholes telling me I’m impure for not using the slop machine for literally everything, who have only shut up about the machine god being nigh because it became bad optics to attribute godliness to technology the general public knows is fucking busted?

Remember that is essential to follow the approved purity testing protocols. If not, then you are at risk of not doing purity testing properly, opening yourself to criticism from purer purity testers.
