this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
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?

the cottage industry of misinfo studies post-2016 was very worried about under-resourced information environments, where lack of literacy and access to high quality news drove conspiracism. meanwhile, the most well-resourced people on the planet were getting pilled on channer content

If you think the Medicare-for-All plan isn't going to have to include an enormous amount of health data being warehoused, I'm not sure the Medicare-for-All plan you have in mind is very realistic.
tweeting 'data centers bad' with zero sense of irony or dissonance to how that information is communicated globally in the first place.

If they’re estranged, did the Trump Administration do Leavitt’s brother a favor and get rid of her? An appalling suggestion, but these people are appalling.

Sure, the Trump admin is indiscriminately, punitively black-bagging innocents off the streets; but how many WHCA correspondents have been dropped from email chains since January.

'women are bourgeoisie'
Lot of thoughts about That Article, but one thing that made me scream. The cost of childcare was not zero! That our system devalues feminized care labor doesn’t make it actually free. Opportunity costs are a thing, childcare is more expensive because of Baumol, not because it was free before.

Pretty sure they're pointing out the inherent sexist nature of this meme and the way that even otherwise progressive folks treat HR as a pink ghetto filled with women who are incapable of "real work."
The underlying point is that America has a anti-woman problem as evidenced in memes like this.

Memes are, fundamentally, designed to be thought-terminating; so its' not super surprising that they've become the tool modern fascists used to disseminate propaganda.
