Saw an AI bro complaining about the "anti-AI extremists" here. 😹
@catsalad
Thought-terminating cliches like
anti_^^_extremists, and thought-terminating technology like 😊 are just peas in a pod. I prefer dolphins in a pod.
I don't complain. I mock.
@catsalad Ahhh, we are doing our job properly, then!
Thank you for the reminder to wear my awesome shirt from Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives to my meeting at the library tomorrow. I'm in the minority of people in that group in that I staunchly refuse to use AI for my work.
@catsalad if im an extremist ALLAHU AKBAR! (i am muslim irl)
@catsalad pray we don't become more extreme, AI bro
@catsalad I sincerely hope they have had their day ruined.
@catsalad Calling it extremism is a bit bold, but you definitely face a lot of harassment here if you mention AI or happen to be a for-profit tech entrepreneur like myself.
@rolle@mementomori.social @catsalad@infosec.exchange Good to hear!
@catsalad
Oooh, that guy's AI is MAD!
"If you don't let me eat your dog, you're an anti-cat extremist!"
Behold: an actual photo of a were-cat attack in progress. If he survives this encounter, the doggo will turn into a kitty whenever the moon is full. There is no particular reason to be afraid of were-cats. Turning into a kitty is awesome. ;)
@catsalad
Oh, an actual picture of me when I'm around certain friends 😂 🦷
@heathen_cat They didn't want to be bit, they shouldn't be so biteable!
@catsalad How come the good guy "extremists" are just complaining and the bad guy "extremists" are poisoning whole cities and consuming whole electric grids and reservoirs?
"Extremist" seems really usually malleable these days.
@catsalad It's tough place to be, to be a proponent of the technology, but not be proponent of the AI companies. I'm sure many would see my AI use and assume I was an "AI bro". Many folks can get quite ugly about it. I've managed to mute most of the "anti-AI extremists" I've come across, who seem to believe that any use of AI is killing the earth.
While you make light of it, it's a real source of toxic behavior on the fediverse. I have faced many ugly comments when I try to have conversations about AI topics.
... which only proves they don't actually believe it's inevitable

@catsalad I did my part!
