Do techbros that complain on the Fediverse about people hating on AI realize it isn't just here that hates AI? (sopuli.xyz)

Everyone pretty much hates it, its just here is one of the few places online where money and stupidity can't be waved around frantically to hide that.

I know how it sounds. I am half serious though. If androids are to be in the future, people denying them rights will use this exact set of arguments. The stubbornness over a small set of ill-understood premises also resembles transphobia quite a lot. So yes, under a certain perspective, the belief structure of Lemmy's anti-ai sentiment does resemble some form of bigotries.

    The difference here that makes this comparison tenuous and potentially hurtful is that victims of bigotry are victims of structurally enforced power imbalances, AI itself IS a structurally enforced power imbalance.

    Theoretically you are right in your point, but in practice you sound like asshole.

    I don't disagree. But since you decide to cut short the discussion by calling me:

    you sound like asshole

    I don't feel particularly obliged to word how this also stands true. I never said sth to the effect you seem to be projecting here. In fact, I enjoy the notion that "AI is fascism". But at the same time, I think that those parroting the statistical more likely response for an ML user have the exact brain structure I see daily in bigots.

    Congratulations on curtailing a possibly interesting discussion because my idea was shocking for your synapse.

    Then don't make casual comparisons to extremely serious topics like bigotry without thinking it through first.

    Wow, you keep acting like you have the high ground in this pitiful position you are. Are you chastising me for allegedly making light of bigotry? This is ridiculous. I know bigotry first hand, and I wouldn't think the same of you based on your attitude on this topic. Should I have you in front of me right now I would kick you all the way down a cliff, because you are a sad little bastard. Now, if you want me to clarify things, for anyone following this that is not at your level of bad faith and self-righteousness:

    The pattern of thinking resembles that of bigots. Specifically transphobic bigots.

    Did I call anti-ai sentiment a bigotry? No. I said in a HYPOTHETICAL FUTURE where artificial sentient being are around, these arguments would be the exact belief set that transphobes have now.

    Does this make light of here-and-now bigotry? No.

    Does the rest of my rhetoric amount to anything less than subverting oppression be it class, race, or gender? Also no.

    So I don't know what the fuck you are trying to accomplish here you little troll, but if you know all the ways I could doxx you and fuck you up in real life you just wouldn't, so shut the fuck up right now asshole. Is that clear to you mf?

    Are you threatening to dox me simply because I said you sounded like an asshole?
