I disagree. None of this is a noble mission to provide "art" for the masses, and real art isn't precious because it's "scarce". Art is one of the most human endeavors, and it's everywhere. Art can be precious and personal and stunning, but it is far from scarce. What these people are churning out is product. They see art as something others could provide to them, and usually for a cost. Now they are sloppifying our world, if not from a sense of resentment for being "gatekept" art their whole lives, then for a sense that they get to "feel" like artists, even though they already were and what they're doing is the antithesis of art. They just lack the ability to realize it.

Not scarce, just under control

Rich people "rent" talent and knowledge. They don't HAVE talent, they BUY it.

AI allows "wealth" to access "talent" without letting talent access wealth.

That is WHY the rich want AI.

Now what rich person would not want that?

And what poor person would want that?

See the problem yet?

Employers (the rich) are not stealing your money, they are stealing "what you are worth" (a living wage).

Well yes, with the exception of math

Still though, I want my math to come from geniuses. Maybe. Geniuses using tools, even AI, that is fine, but I dont want the local town idiot to "come up" with a math solution for some problem

There hacks. Selfishly pretending to be artists for personal validation. And they’re fucking deplorable.

Scarcity is goal of US establishment. That is what is most profitable. War on Iran, proxy war on Russia including continuing satellite support for Ukrainian strikes on refineries, and tariffs is just Trump accelerationism of scarcity. That AI bond villains prefer to shut down US access to open source models is pursuing their scarcity premium. That they could outcompete traditional economy firms with temporary competition, is just their path to put rest of economy out of business in order to raise prices again.

end goal

That is not it, the user is delusional. The end goal is fully automated capitalism.

Got a report on this one:

Breaks community rules, Misinformation / disinformation - this is PRO AI bullshit

I'm guessing that the reporter sees this as trying to sell the view that "AI can create post-scarcity" (even if only in a criti-hype kind of way). The screenshotted comment says "abundant food, energy, housing, labour, etc ... are too hard for them right now" (emphasas mine). Maybe that could be read as a temporary condition; that even if it can't now, one day AI will usher in an era of post-scarcity. Maybe pseudoLit does believe that to be a possibility. Not sure. But it's not clear that they believe any such thing, nor that they're trying to sell anyone else on such a view.

So, in short, I don't think any of this constitutes AI advocacy or mis/disinformation.

I'll admit that sometimes when making calls on some of these sorts of reports, I'll consider the upvote-to-downvote ratio. And in this particular case, it seems like the majority are reading this post the way I did, not the way the reporter did.

Reports are appreciated, though. I'd much rather have reports that I ultimately ruled against than lack reports when something does need acted on. Please don't take one of these "I disagree with the reporter" sort of posts as a deterrent on reporting. My only intention is transparency.

A not-insignificant portion of them are afraid that the god-machine will kill them if they don't do everything they can to support it.

To be fair, everyone that's promised some sort of post-scarcity anything has 100% been on the side of exploiting people and was just saying that as an empty promise to exploit people harder. Works the same for everything from apartheid to socialism, and everything in between. That promise, without fail, is never, ever, ever ever met. 100% failure rate. Gullibility is a flaw of the masses.

People need to understand that anything that leads to a post-scarcity world will not be the found via that sells the idea to you. There's a 100% failure rate there. It'll be the one where it just sort of happens because people were working together in the first place towards just not shitty stuff all the time, and then post-scarcity just sort of ended up in reach.
