A lot of them push the line that women are most fertile at 16. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago AI is a deeply anti-intellectual technology. In fact, I jokingly say that AI stands for anti-intellectualism. Most actual technophobes hailed this technology as a liberator of men from the machines, so they can return to the factories to produce products, so there won't be any financial crash from office workers being a deadweight on the economy. Since more left leaning, even including mainstream liberals did not like this technology, they had to make do with whatever they had, so it were somewhat well-fettered libertarians at best (some of whom since regretted touching AI due to the slop tsunami), and at the very worst: fascists, who vowed that artists will submit to them, to make works that honor the great masters of the pas in large scale, but since didn't, all they were left with is AI slop in industrial scale. Some industry folks allegedly believe they're just edgy conservatives, and with the next tide they can get liberals on board, while others like Alex Karp are very aware of the nature of AI's popularity. permalink fedilink source parent [–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago AI is pitched to replace jobs, but it is much better at manipulating public opinion. This is why the rich class wants to control it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* More like techbros going in deep with their fascism and this includes AI initiatives as they strongly support far-right accelerationism. They also happen to be childlike in their tendency of fulfilling their power fantasies of crushing the "establishment" which first rejected them as being weak. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rothe@piefed.social 2 points 9 months ago Their oligarch overlords are currently adding billions to their fortunes by peddling it. So of course the right wingers will open wide and guzzle down all of the AI diarrhea when they are told to do so. permalink fedilink source parent [–] arararagi@ani.social 1 point 9 months ago They can use it to make their stars since they actively hate artists. permalink fedilink source parent
