So, today I was called a "Luddite" because I don't like AI.

Call me what you want, but when it comes to folks losing their jobs, data centers sucking up our water and causing higher energy bills for people already struggling, LLMs being trained on stolen data, and so many other ethical issues, I won't budge or back down on how I feel.

I will proudly accept the Luddite label. I've been around for nearly 60 years and have had a pretty shitty go of it the past 5 or so years. You can't hurt my feelings.

The Luddites were right - and whatever one things of their tactics, all peaceful routes had been closed off and the owners used violence against them. They couldn't vote, the judiciary and the press were broadly in the hands of those who owned the mills... union activity was illegal -
