Perhaps you could elaborate on why?

I don’t agree with the scolds who claim that every GenAI use is immoral by default, but I do think that the tech itself when applied within capitalist practices is immoral as it’s meant to deskill and disenfranchise workers.

All capitalist practices are immoral in functionally the same way. Capitalism works to use worker exploitation but also use of the commons for private gain. Generative AI is now part of the commons that capitalists will inevitably use for profit. The fight over worker disenfranchisement in this case was functionally instantly lost the moment generative AI became usable at all.

Anyway, any defense you can make for your “little indie game” can be made by mega-corporations using GenAI just as well.

They already do and are going to regardless. In fact, using Generative AI will likely become functionally mandatory given a capitalist market system. If you take on labor costs that other firms don't, then you will not be able to compete. This applies to big corporations and small indie devs already. A company wont abstain from Gen AI if their competition wont and all it takes is one company to start using Gen AI.

A person working to make profit might not actually believe in copyrights. Nor hold any ideological kinship with the system they exist in.

Further, virtually all resources to do anything originated in "the commons" and the sort of person who's trying to produce a game as their means of making money probably are just trying to get away from a miserable 9 to 5 (or not live under a bridge).

People who work and give away their shit for free are good people, but they are also usually people who are financially comfortable already. Its not right to dictate what resources some individual game dev is trying to use to make a living off their work.

I'm not talking about fiction.

I think its legitimately a problem with the internet. There are enough people out there that take this sort of thing at face value as true. I think it makes everyone dumber.

I've posted shit that was inaccurate or at best dubious on social media. I'm guilty too. But I also got called out.

As for parties, I'm autistic and incredibly obsessive. I'm only OK at parties when I'm drunk or high otherwise I'm a ball of miserable anxiety.

I feel like things being real or true matters. Maybe that's just me.

You talk to people about your astrology sign without really believing in that shit too?

Getting real "That happened" vibes here.

Reading these comments I feel a sense of dread. You are all experiencing survivor bias. Initially when I ran into barriers I gave up for like a year before bothering to try Lemmy again.

If you don't want Lemmy to serve as an actual counter to corporate controlled social media if it means letting in "normies" then you are content with corporate controlled social media continuing to dominate our lives. Which sounds about right for humanity. The smugness is vile.

Just bring on the vacuum decay event already.

A desperate belief that they are impoverished because they need to compete with an ethnic out group and a belief that the out group is taking their shit, murdering them, and stealing/raping their women.

Even though its largely due to capitalism and technologically induced paranoia & loneliness.

You want a bunch of people to suffer and die in addition to the people already doomed to suffer and die on the off chance we get a better world at the end of it.

If this is accurate (and I'd almost bet money that it is), you are evil and shouldn't be listened to.

You disprove of trying to prevent fascism.

They wouldn't be enabling shit because the idea that simply not turning out for the election would end the violence is completely and utterly delusional.
