@mcc why we should not? Any particular reason? And I am not buying AI slop. I have 25 years experience in field, and I sm telling you, if you are using it visely it can be such great helping tool.
@janantos @mcc You are like Boromir, that sees the one Ring from Frodo as a helpful tool to empowerment, but ignoring that it is created by the dark lord, for the dark lord. I think some of the hype around "AI" is justified, because it makes interacting with a machine much more intuitive, but it doesn't justify the long list of negative aspects the current AI ecosystem brings. The problem you don't want to see is the people controlling and distributing "AI".
Don't fall for the billionaire's propaganda about the Luddites.
Parliament created laws to protect the independent weavers from having their industry automated out from under them.
The Luddites did not break the new looms if they were being used by the weavers that owned them.
They only broke the looms of the factory owners, that were legally barred from using the new looms, but were ignoring the laws.
@BillySmith @janantos @paul_cS @mcc The weavers broke machines to protest at being thrown out of work and essentially starving. The government passed laws to increase penalties against those destroying machines and shot or sent some off to the colonies.
It turns out that capitalism with social policy is bad for the workers... Who knew?
@SamanthaJaneSmith @janantos @paul_cS @mcc
The UK parliament had already known that this was going to be a problem.
They brought in laws that said that the smaller-scale weavers should get to use the automation first, before any of the large rentier factory owners.
These laws were ignored by the oligarchs of the time, in the same way that creative artists are being screwed over by the AI-techbro's right now.
