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?

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Since the declaration of the supposed ceasefire, the Israeli military has violated it an average of ten or more times a day, murdering hundreds of Palestinians, including scores of small children.
There is no peace in Gaza, nor in the West Bank. As the genocide continues, so must our resistance.

About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.
New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Then why didn't he just say that? Any normal person would have calmly said, "Of course no one should follow illegal orders and we do not issue them." Instead he got hysterical and basically said "how dare they say not to follow my illegal orders! I'll give any orders I want & they WILL follow them."

Tbh this is no small part of why I struggle to trust people’s self assessment of “the person I’m meanest to is myself.” In my personal experience, many of the people who (earnestly!) believe this about themselves are also capable of extraordinary cruelty to fat people, but they don’t see it.
HARD AGREE. There’s also such a big gap in how the impacts are conceptualized: there’s a belief that 4chan/incel forums direct their toxicity outward, while pro-ana forums are seen as directing theirs inward, which ignores the massive and ruthless trolling that pro-ana folks aim at fat people.

I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
