Cory Doctorow, a guy who treats leftism like a country club nobody else is invited to because only he has enough leftist parents and paid memberships in leftist organizations to prove his leftism, is the origin of the assertion that AI-critical communities are doing purity testing because a set of right-wing stereotypes for leftists that he made up are doing gatekeeping for contrived, unrealistic personal reasons he also made the fuck up

you don’t need to parrot this shit cause you like the guy

@zzt Yeah I regularly read Doctorow, and I really like some of his writing, and completely disagree with a lot too. No one individual is going to have all good opinions (except for me of course 😎)
