There’s a difference between seeing and perceiving. If you see AI slop and don’t see how it is different than something crafted by a human expert, that is a problem of one’s perception.

- How Generative AI is framed by the industry is an affront to humanistic values.
- It’s not even close to consciousness. For those of us who understand how these things work it’s almost an insult to make the comparison.

- All the other unethical considerations mentioned elsewhere by others (stealing art, water usage, politics).

zbyte64@awful.systemsto Memes@lemmy.ml•Liberals don't seem to like countries that stand against the empire hmmm0·8 days agoDon’t know who needs to hear this but VPNs are allowed in China and can get around “censorship”. In general you can still access information abroad but China is dedicated to having their mass-media not be inflammatory. You can talk about Uighurs on RedNote, but you can’t level baseless accusations and expect those to stay up.
zbyte64@awful.systemsto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Public transit in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 vs Chengdu, China 🇨🇳 English0·9 days agoI don’t know about Canada but the USA has been pro-child factory work lately. China’s wages have been rising faster than expected so they have gone all-in on automation. So when I see people claim their stuff is cheap because of “slavery” or human rights, it reads like projection.

If you’re not spending millions of dollars training and operating the AI to actually own it, the power you have is on lease and the terms can change at anytime without regard to your needs or wishes.

It is also not free to run unless you are the product.
Frankly this take that AI will lead to a communist revolution if people embrace the technology reads more like Vulgar Marxism. You’re not seizing the means of production by being a consumer of a technology. And training a communist aligned LLM is a dubious value proposition.

zbyte64@awful.systemsto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Public transit in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 vs Chengdu, China 🇨🇳 English0·15 days agoOverproduction of commodities is certainly a problem for capitalists. But the workers get to enjoy a lower cost of living. Like I would much prefer we built ghost cities (Chengdu was derided as a ghost city at one point) than have a decades long housing crisis with no signs of improving unless we deport millions of people.
So I guess you’d say we should change nothing and ignore the wildly eroding support and the poll numbers showing the democratic party has just 28% favorability?
My brother in Christ, you’re not talking to a liberal here.
Listen to yourself. You’re saying the Democrats are our only hope yet they also don’t listen.
Democrats do listen, but only to those with power. Before anything can change for the better we need power for ourselves.
Imagine being married to someone who is openly a Nazi and you are like: “it’s not a deal breaker”. And then your neighbors reward you with a political office.
