Both are fine so long as we have a complete land value tax funding direct economic redistribution
Oh there’s logic all right
so AI is white :D?
AI is largely coded and trained by rich white dudes in Silicon Valley. Then fed racially biased material, I don’t know what you were expecting.
Even before the current “AI”, machine learning would do racist shit all the time. Like when Apple Photos would tag the faces of black people and ask “Is this a dog?”
There’s also an ongoing discussion about how the color balance on almost every digital camera ever made favors light skin over dark skin.
AI is largely coded and trained by immigrants, often from Asia. As white as satya nadella and sundar pichai.
You were expecting black mechahitler?
That’s the bonus stage on Wolfenstein.
Remember the response to Deepseek? They aren’t universally pro-AI, they want American technocrats to be the ones who control the AI that they feel will eventually take over the world.
There was quite a bit of “racism” or at the very least fearmongering when Deepseek was released.
Because rich people make more money when AI does it.
Rich people make money by hiring cheap immigrant labour, too.
Because rich people get richer and nobody is giving money to the browns.
Immigrants are poor. AI is owned by rich white men.
Because the Republican Party sole purpose is to further the interests of wealthy and corporations but the only way they can do that is build a platform on racism and xenophobia to trick the less educated or informed into voting for them.
There’s an out, and it’s us standing outside before being driven to extreme violence. We should talk about that.
It’s either 50501 or 8647, then.
the Republican Party sole purpose is to further the interests of wealthy and corporations
Perhaps not SOLE, but that’s also the main purpose of the Dem leadership.
That’s a big reason why they’re so bad at messaging: they’re having to appeal to a base who mostly loathe billionaires and big corporations while also making sure that the billionaires and corporations don’t get annoyed and stop enriching them.
the only way they can do that is build a platform on racism and xenophobia to trick the less educated or informed into voting for them.
Yeah, can’t have fascism without a million lies and constant scapegoating of already vulnerable groups of people.
Removed by mod
a fucking centrist
Nope. I’m a leftist. Unlike 99% of the corrupt party you’re shilling for.
horrible things done specifically by Republicans
Nope. Republicans do it even more/worse, but that doesn’t mean that the Dems are innocent of it. They aren’t.
telling me both sides are bad.
More accurately put, one’s awful and the other is a literal fascist party and thus much worse.
Thanks, I really needed that in my life.
A more nuanced view than "because they’re not fascists, the Dems are automatically great and don’t need to improve anything about themselves to better represent the will of the people“?
Yeah, you really did.
Go take your fucking pills
After you, apparatchik.
nah you’re Centrist af
In fact you’re like a single unit away from Libertarian
Yeah ok, you’re clearly an absolute idiot and/or pathologically unable to admit when you’re wrong, so I’m not gonna waste any more time and effort explaining the obvious to you. Have the day you deserve.
If your only policy stance is to keep the fascist white national theocratic party in power you might actually just be alt right, consequently. Yeah, honestly, Centrist was too good a title for you.
Yeah, because saying that they’re much worse than the other party means that my one goal in life is to keep them in power 🙄
Pack up your ridiculous army of strawmen and go waste someone else’s time, please.
Yuuup. The oligarchs would actually love to keep immigrant labor, but they see it as a worthwhile scapegoat to keep their voting bloc united.
Immigrants have non-white skin and AI doesn’t even have skin, which is more preferable because I’m an irrational stupid racist that loves bootlicking rich oligarchs. Hail Corporate!
You can’t be a proper racist. Some of the words you used have more than four syllables and you haven’t misspelt the name of your own country even once.
AI or any other technology is good because doing more work with less people is the reason our living standards are higher than 100 years ago.
Immigrants that work and pay taxes is also good.
Yes but AI implementations currently don’t do that. They just make people lose jobs because it makes it cheaper for companies.
And also AI and automation is jot taking over dangerous and unhealthy manual jobs but it’s taking over programming and graphic design kinda jobs.
They just make people lose jobs because it makes it cheaper for companies.
Yes, that’s what happens when technological advances hit an already saturated market. The problem here is that, due to this baby, the fruits of all this automation are going to the owner class rather than the working class.
Yes but AI implementations currently don’t do that. They just make people lose jobs because it makes it cheaper for companies.
They just make people lose their jobs because idiots believe they make it cheaper for companies"*
Yeah I could have phrased it a bit better. The point still stands. AI is not really helping productivity or safety so it is doing more harm to the workers than good.
Amen
And what exactly do they make cheaper?
Operating costs. Or at least that’s the idea. Don’t know if it actually makes it cheaper but CEOs sure love not having people to pay.
I assure you it doesn’t, and these fuckups have a significant cost that we will pay, not them.
Unless enough of us mobilize, then we can absolutely shift that cost, but the requirement is the bare minimum, and unfortunately 99.9 percent of us don’t have that.
I understand that having fewer people to pay makes it cheaper for companies, but if the AI isn’t performing the duties of the people who got laid off, the AI is not making it cheaper for companies. That’s just a round of layoffs, unrelated to AI.
TIL AI was invented in the mid 80s
well it’s an ancient condept and really in the form of computers the theory began in the 1940s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_artificial_intelligence
The field of “artificial intelligence research” was founded as an academic discipline in 1956.
Just give it time, you’ll get anti-AI opportunists who target small business owners eventually.
We already see anti-AI backlash in businesses that want to shove the tools down workers’ throats.
The big difference is that workers in the US have no real power. If you want to be a proper ultra-nationalist in America, you better own something and it better be big enough to fund the solicitation of a few congresscritters. The response to anti-AI activism is to call the critiques “Luddites” (or perhaps Russia/China disinformation agents). The response to anti-migrant activism is to nod sagely and insist the white working class needs to pick more cantaloupes for $5/hr.
because it serves the rich well that people are easily baited into fearing and fighting minorities
the rich do not want you mad at AI becanuse that is their product
I don’t have a lot of conversations with the “immigrants are taking our jobs” people. Are those same people really talking about AI killing jobs being good? Because that doesn’t seem right.
What colour is the AI? Thats the crucial part.
They dropped the “taking our jobs” angle long ago, just didn’t resonate. Now they’re all dangerous criminals. Try to keep up!
Uhhhhh the economy or something
Because if AI takes your job then eventually a billionaire gets to be a trillionaire.
AI is made by white people while most immigrants are brown.
Checkmate.
It might be owned by white people but you should read the names of people in lead technical roles and writing research papers. I promise you will have a hard time pronouncing most of the names haha.
While I totally agree with you, have you ever tried yourself at Polish names? And I think they are mostly white ;0)
Honestly, as an american, I wouldn’t put it past some of racists to think the polish names are actually african or something
It’s good if housing and stocks go up but it’s bad if salaries and the price of stuff go up. Because it widens the gap between the haves and the have nots.
Just salaries. They like it when prices go up because they own the businesses selling things, and because it forces people to invest in their stocks.
