i called someone a Promptitute and someone unironically told me not to say that, just so much.

Yeah that’s an extremely shitty thing to say, unironically. You’re throwing sex workers under the bus to dunk on AI gooners. Come up with a better insult. Fuck off if you disagree with this part. Sex workers are workers.

i was under the impression that were explicitly against genAI but i found that some people are actually VERY pro genai and quite dismissive of its risks.

I’m anarcho-communist, anti-capitalist, pro-ecology, anti-colonial, and against the notion that we need or want truly intelligent machines…but I am pro-mathematics and pro-liberatory-technology. If we had introduced these tools sustainably, as a strictly voluntary choice, as a tool for the workers and not as a cudgel to destroy people and ensure worker precarity, as a tool and not a simulation of slavery and a simulacrum of the most obnoxious parts of capitalism, at a scale and rate that the ecology could support…these tools would be beloved by the people who benefit from them, and invisible to everyone else. Put simply: the monsters (capitalists and their allies) ruined a good idea, once again.

As other users have pointed out, machine learning and its derivatives have had, and will continue to have, liberatory applications. It is unfortunate that the artificial “intelligence” community gave their work that name, and I think we should reject it.

But I refuse to give the capitalists a monopoly over the use of mathematics!
