thinking about this again. i stand by it
in much of 20th century science fiction, anti-ai/anti-progress bigots are depicted variously as religious fanatics, right wing social conservatives, and so on. it has turned out quite differently.

eastern Marxist-Leninists:
- oversaw single largest industrialization, becoming competitive superpower
- competitive in frontier research and technology
- modern china: _mandating_ AI fundamentals
western “leftists”:
- you offended my aesthetic sensibilities, so i will now oppose technology
- oversaw single largest industrialization, becoming competitive superpower
- competitive in frontier research and technology
- modern china: _mandating_ AI fundamentals
western “leftists”:
- you offended my aesthetic sensibilities, so i will now oppose technology
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

there is a culture on here of believing you can sneer your way into or out of anything, you don’t have to understand anything, and it’s virtuous to act like a 1980s high school movie bully
scorn was an effective weapon for the monkey jpeg NFT shit because it was effectively a status good, generative AI is a tool that millions get utility out of daily and you can't sneer your way out of that.

i built a game! it's an experimental pvp prompt engineering arena, with a shared/networked model context, and per-user model outputs.

the studios that innovate and ignore witch hunting will be disproportionately rewarded, as Embark is. ARC Raiders is a fantastic game and scaling meaningful, rich in-game interactions with modern AI is an obvious low hanging fruit that many studios are avoiding out of fear.
For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

this really captures the specific set of cached/unconfronted assumptions that underlie a lot of discourse, especially here (from @andymasley.bsky.social)

one way to gauge the truth-seeking values of different communities is to look at whether or not they continue to propagate egregiously incorrect statements and information even when clearly shown that it is incorrect. update on the community’s credibility in other areas accordingly.

everyone here is extremely confident they’ve never used AI but an enormous fraction of their existence is mediated, observed, or recommended by AI models over the last decade+. it’s just not advertised as a Product Name, so it doesn’t exist
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

it’s also extremely funny that the “censorship resistant global public commons protocol founded by cryptocurrency and cryptography researchers” is the one that somehow acquired a hivemind user base that thinks like this
really funny to see all the people who self identify as “anarchist” or broadly critical of the current government cheerleading the idea of government speech licensing and thinking we should do that in the us

the unintuitive nature of _scaling_ fooled even top academics about deep learning models throughout the 20th century
there is this extremely consistent problem where people are forever stuck in 2023 tbh. posting dated articles, discussing dated models and making arguments based off dated information and speculation. i wouldn't be surprised if people are still posting >hands

(also, the scientists who claim fission exists are just in the pocket of Big Science, and they’re literal nazis anyway, and also it’s just a stochastic reaction that peters out, and only physbros care about it, and it hasn’t ever happened before so it won’t)

the fact that blocking a user hides their reply for everyone, not just the user who blocked them, seems like an extremely toxic pattern for collective sense-making.
1. user makes [xyz claim]
2. another user corrects them
3. blocked, hidden
it should be explicitly shown as hidden instead

one of the funny things about posting with an anime pfp pseudonymously is that sometimes people make weird assumptions about you, for example that you’re posting about AI because you’re a NEET grok gooner who thinks their AI gf is conscious
