  • Great essay, read the entire thing.

    But this won’t happen while we are still stuck in “you used AI? I instantly think less of you as a person.”

    This part here, and the fact that people refuse to critically engage with it is what bothers me the most about the anti-AI crowd, most especially people who proaim to be communists. Most of the arguments against AI are either moralistic (you’re stealing) or subjective (it looks bad), and while environmental concerns are obviously something to be accounted for, the problem is once again capitalism. They think they need these huge resource draining data centers because they’re focused on computational power rather than efficiency, like how DeepSeek did with their r-1 model.

    At the end of the day I can only hope that we can utilize this technology to our advantage as communists.



  • Lol we’ve tried having constructive conversations around AI here for a while, we’ve long since said it was a tool just like any other being developed under capitalism and that capitalism is the problem, acknowledged the current issues surrounding it, and yet you still have people going “lol it sucks” with no nuance

    I’m honestly over it, I’ve just given up talking about it at all LMAO I’ll just learn about it in silence and be wow’d by China’s development as usual.
