the word “trolling” was so thoroughly stripped of its meaning over the past 20 years that people had to invent the word ��ragebait” to mean the exact same thing

“The things you criticize AI for is stuff most of your tech does” is not whataboutism for a simple reason: AI literally is built into the same industry as the rest of the tech you use, bc it’s the tech industry. Thus, trying to reject AI alone for what is essentially a product of a hyper capitalist tech industry is functionally useless.

For example, it’s very reasonable to be concerned about the new Twitter data center that’s poisoning Memphis right now, and single out the LLM, grok, as a source of it. However, generating an image using locally run stable diffusion does literally nothing to contribute to this. Conversely, using Twitter without using grok absolutely contributes to the polluting Memphis. If we try to simply boycott AI entirely and nothing else, we still contribute to that data center. However, if we single out Twitter/X as a company, then we can actually have an effective boycott.

If your problem is the environmental cost of all data centers, and you single out AI as the source, but still continue to stream video (ie Netflix, YouTube, TikTok etc), use social media, etc, you are still contributing to the stuff that’s at least 90% of current datacenter output. I know this is news to people but data centers didn’t just. Suddenly become a problem post-AI.

People pointing this out are not being contrarian for no reason. Current anti-AI thinking has done literally zero for actually combatting the issues we need to care about, because a lot of these problems go beyond AI. This is the tech equivalent of banning straws.

The point of this isn’t to go “oh and yet you participate in society…interesting”. The point of this is to show how you need to be thinking systemically about these issues beyond the superficial shit you hear in op-eds and tweets, which by the way, frequently misreport the actual data/info regarding the situation.

You want actually effective movements that combat the tech industry? Check out notechforapartheid and BDS’s tech boycott list.

they should make a job application process that doesn't feel like a deep and fundamental rejection of your humanity or right to dignity and respect

They really expect me to quit smoking when customers are out here acting like this?!?

watching death note with my family and after the college entrance episode my mom asked offhandedly if anyone had ever pictured L and light as a couple before. it felt like one single white dove had landed on a crystalline lake in a beautiful pure clearing. no i dont think anyones ever thought of that before
