The amount of people that have drunk the Anti-AI Kool-Aid is staggering, honestly. I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t pay thousands of dollars to an artist, or multiple artists, to say, illustrate a tabletop game while I do all the systems design and playtesting myself. AI can make weird stuff too. it can make artifacts that would be really difficult to make with conventional tools. AI isn’t autonomous; it’s a tool. People should be empowered to use tools to make things to express themselves and provoke the hearts and minds of others.

Now we have people arguing that making a drawing in someone else’s “style” is copyright infringement. You all complain about artists losing their jobs while getting your clothes and chocolate made by slaves in exploited third-world countries because you can’t afford to live ethically under capitalism. It’s absolute lunacy. You’re either privileged enough to be part of the problem or you’re shooting yourself in the foot by protesting something that might actually benefit creative people at or below your economic class.

Game engines were a mistake because they allow people to make content faster. Back in the 90s people would have had to learn assembly to make a game. Think of all the programmers that lost their jobs.

Big, fat /s

True. The issue is that you don’t want to be the lone idiot at a protest with a gun because you’ll just get singled out and absolutely fucked. The biggest hurdle is that the majority of the country has been brainwashed into thinking peaceful protest will solve all your problems if you just hope, dream, and yell hard enough.

US politicians when they realize they’ll have to send out the riot police to disperse protestors again:

MLMs are coming whether you want them to or not. Only time will tell if they’re able to consistently get better. Might as well look at what they can do for people, since they’re not going anywhere in the immediate future.

Most of a week of groceries.

Tax all AI companies to fund UBI.

It’s probably pretty similar to your plan to take down “AI.”

People should be preparing for guerilla warfare, not protests. Of course a bunch of people will die if they gather in a group and get a missile shot at them. Use your 2A rights and use your brain.

“Give me a hit from the corpse bong.”

Can we crowdfund a ballistic missile with a conventional payload to launch at Moscow?

If AI tools were more advanced, they would free up resources from small artists that want to make multidisciplinary works, like movies and games. The issue is with capitalism requiring artists to sell their art to put food on their table instead of making art for the craft itself. Point your pitchforks and torches at people supporting capitalism, not the people developing tools that make creation easier.

Once every few months

Bring your gun to protests. Fire on the police if they try to disable you.

We should digitally tar and feather anyone who tries to suppress advocating for violence. Arming yourself is self-defense at this point.

I’m planning on not watching it, personally.

It is, yes.

Definitely. Society is fucked right now because people are brought up to believe that peaceful protest is some sort of societal panacea.
