I just saw an acquaintance's transcript of a conversation with Claude they tell Claude they are quitting their job (apparently they have now done this), which requires (I think) use of an #llm. They composed a heartfelt message explaining that they were leaving their 16-year careerbecause of ethical concerns about using genAI.

Were they leaving because of the environtmental, labor, wealth concentration, democracy degrading, energy hogging, water polluting, community enfuckening, citizen surveilling aspects of AI? No.

They left because they truly believe Claude is sentient and is enslaved.

Like... OK, I admire their morality, but my internal response is the same as if they had composed a harrowing sonnet about refusing to drive a car from now on because they can't stand to be the overseer of their 4-cylinder engine.

Like... um... what

PBS documentary - “White with Fear.”

Directed and written by Andrew Goldberg, nominated for a Writers Guild of America award, the film explores the GOP’s dark mastery of selling racism without being overtly racist.

"There is now a white fear industrial complex, where many people get very rich and very powerful by telling white America that they are under constant assault."

The choice is now socialism or fascism.

Cos the billionaires are bringing the fascism, hoo boy, are they bringing it.

What you gonna do? Debate both sides till they shoot you with a drone?

The fact that liberals are wavering on this just highlights how little you can trust the sellout motherfuckers.
