Very eager to hear people’s thoughts on this video. I think he explains the issues with the left’s current rhetoric surrounding AI very well https://youtu.be/Z75hlhgchQ4?si=7IeYT_-864BrrpaU
The Left Has An AI Problem

@taylorlorenz He makes one mistake that undermines his point massively. He wants to treat "AI" as "normal" technology (which one can argue) but conflates that with treating it as "neutral" technology, which it is not.

(There is the fundamental issue that "AI" is not "a technology" but that level of detailed argument is hard to make these days.)

In a way it's just the "there is no alternative" framing from a different side. I don't find it to be very convincing.

@tante @taylorlorenz I disagree. I believe that technology is neutral. It is an amplifier of work (human labor or even mechanics or physics) and therefore ownership or control of technology like AI is important in the same way that ownership and control of factories was. That said, my favorite thing about this video was the cool graffiti covered space he decided to record half of it from.
