One of the things that grinds my fuckin' gears the most about "AI" boosters is how much they chastise the rest of us for "refusing to engage".

I am not refusing to engage! When i yell at the top of my lungs about how shitty and destructive this shit is, i am engaging! This is what engaging looks like, because every new technology is first and foremost a site of struggle!

What the cultists are trying to insist we do isn't "engage", it's "concede".

@adrienne Beware there are many sophisticated propagandists undermining the anti AI message.

Sorry, I took "undermining" to mean "moles", "false flag operations" and so on. Some people dislike the extreme positions some of us take and end up distrusting us.

@angelastella @adrienne I'm seeing some "You can't vote your way out of this" messaging too. Well... yes we can. Young people can vote to destroy it.
