A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

~~They will also delete any comments that complain about AI at all, even though there is no rule against it.~~

/--edit--/
After second look, that's not entirely true, but they definitely have a trigger finger for it and leave plenty of other "off-topic" comments.

Considering the amount of posts deleted, it should have just been locked instead of nuking comments with a negative view of AI

Here's the thread in the screenshot:

Also, here you can see other's seem to think this was an attempt to silence dissent (though, I don't think that this coming from drag is a great point for it):

Just look at this completely insane comment from an instance admin:

People cannot exist without negative impact. Therefore by that logic we shouldn't exist. I don't think you or I would agree with that though.

There are groups literally training machine learning models currently on material with consent. How is that unethical? Models intend to provide to everyone democratizing access. How is that unethical? If I was going to draw out a storyboard for an animation that I plan to make myself. If I decided instead to use this ethically created and trained model to generate storyboard visualizations. How is that unethical? These are serious questions not rhetorical.

And just to make myself well clear. Fuck google, fuck microsoft, fuck apple, fuck musk, fuck zuck, fuck Altman, and of course fuck every smarmy grifting little Tech bro.
