yaknow… the #luddites smashed machines that made usable products.

with a fail rate of as high as 90% in something as simple as search and with sloppped “art” that looks like it was created for a Jehova Witness or Mormon magazine, the only thing #AIslop makes is the mirage of shareholder value.

then there’s the ecocidal damage of data centers. and the theft of public utilities.

“anti-tech extremism” is fascist speak for “protect the mirage of our stocks’ value with cops”.

@blogdiva The Luddites were active around where I live. I've always felt it was deliberate propaganda by the elite to reframe them as being "against technology". As has often been the case in British history, the elite saw everyday people's pushback against exploitation and brought in the military, executed people, and transported people to prisons in other countries. Seems too familiar.

@blogdiva Your comparison of "AI" slop images to JW illustrations is spot on. The slightly off artificial style.
