  • A balanced left-wing perspective of AI

    Jump

  • Offloading cognition to a machine is a problem that goes far beyond the capitalist system. A fact evidenced by dozens of studies from across the globe all showing a terrifying decrease in linguistic skill, communication skills, memory, problem solving abilities, and general cognitive atrophy.

    Using AI to optimize a spreadsheet? Good use of optimization.

    Using AI for research, “summarizing” texts, or as a google search? Uh oh.

  • But then who will do my thinking for me 🥺

    I struggle to use google or reason through basic thoughts. I'd rather the corpobot do those for me.

  • Em-Dashes were mainly a GPT issue, and most models have moved to using parentheses, which are heavy in this text. The "not x but y" was explicitly coded out with GPT4 too.

    Does having "summary" and "conclusion" sections in the text not seem at all interesting? The sections aren't even coherent, they're just random AI blurbs, that then jump to a completely unrelated topic.

    Sources for many of the quotes aren't cited at all either.

  • Why should I bother to read or argue against a text that a writer couldn't be bothered to write themselves?

    The rapid abandonment of reasoning and even basic critical thinking in favour of letting a corporate machine do those for you is both horrifying and depressing.

  • A pro-AI person that can't even bother to write their own pro-AI defense is a little funny.

    But, genuinely asking, why do you think it would matter?

    Also OP is here, in the comments, interacting with people. So I guess it’s achieved sentience.

    Ok? And? Did I say that OP was a machine, or that OP most likely used AI to generate the text? OP can use AI for the main body of the post and then write a few sentences on their own in the comments. I'm confused as to what your argument is.

  • What answer do you think is more likely?

  • It's not bad faith skepticism if that is quite literally how AI typically formats it's long form answers.

    You know what, now that I notice it, who puts a "Summary" section in the middle of a post before continuing on as if nothing happened?

    Just noticed another "conclusion", section. OP couldn't even be bothered to hide where the tokens stopped generating.

  • Honestly, going off of the sheer size, the very neatly ordered sections with bold headers, various hyperlinks, and random lists... I think you know the answer to that question.

    Edit: AI bros losing their minds whenever someone says anything about AI that isn't worshiping the corporate machine will never not be funny. Actual five year old levels of cognition.

  • Game of Thrones author sues ChatGPT owner OpenAI

    Jump

  • The same law he cites here against openAI can also be used against fan art, fanfics, and anything that he feels looks too close to Game of Thrones.

    I don’t see how this point is entirely relevant seeing as how such works are explicitly protected by non-commercial fair use rulings. Rulings surprisingly maintained by explicitly capitalist courts.

    In the case of the United States, courts also hold a generally unfavorably view to artists or corporations claiming copyright infringement simply because a work “strongly resembles” another that is copyrighted. Making a case that a work resembles another is nearly impossible since the counterclaim is usually that the work is merely using common tropes, themes, or conventions. Even if an artist intended to bog down a smaller artist in endless litigation, the chances of a lawsuit like that making it past preliminary arbitration seems minimal at best seeing as how the case law is a settled fact, and I’ve yet to find anything courts love less than someone endlessly filing the same frivolous suits.

  • Capitalist entities will revolt if many of the suspended services aren’t restarted.

    Walmart’s entire labour strategy collapses without SNAP and Medicaid preventing the company’s workers from starving to death.

  • Unit cost:

    MH-60R Seahawk - $40,000,000

    F/A-18F Super Hornet - $67,400,000 million

    Subtotal - $107,400,000

    Result: Tactical Chinese victory

  • Why are some people so vehemently against genAI?

  • If it wasn’t Marx, it would have been someone else. Marx is not a god, nor a great man, but expecting a group of proletarian industrial workers with little to no education to magically become Marxian revolutionaries before Marx is disingenuous at best.

    I wasn’t saying that Marx not being born yet prevents any sort of Marxian analysis or class consciousness, but without Marx’s, or another person akin to Marx, insights, even concepts such as “seizing the means of production” become nebulous; as no one has yet analyzed why exactly that mattered, or what the next step after that would be.

  • It’s Plato but it also isn’t a critique.

    Plato believed the general idea stated in the post, but he genuinely believed that that was a good thing because that meant he got to be powerful and maintain his influence.

  • AI Marxists are unironically becoming a Cult Mechanicus and all it took was the plagiarism machine telling them that they’re very special, very smart, good boys.

  • Your sources are a blog from a Australian Colonel, and a report from the brookings institute that quite literally supports my position and is the first thing that comes up when you look up “US counterinsurgency”

    That’s some revolutionary research. Horrifically smarmy and disingenuous. Did you even read the Brookings piece?
