Yeah its very similar to graft and extortion in that way. The left really needs to get onboard.

Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 days agoOk good example. The left took a hard stance. The right adopted it. A lot of right wing people made a lot of money with it regardless of its practicalness. They used that money to invest in each other.
The left somehow has become Luddites and they’re falling behind yet don’t see how that mentality is holding hobbling their progress

Extortion? How so?

Falling behind in what way? Financial advantage? I’m not sure that the left have ever had that. How would adopting AI aid the left’s cause?

He’s correct. Leftists and Liberals (myself included) see the dangers of A.I. and have been hardcore against its current stage of applications while moderates make shitty AI cat videos and MAGA use it for deepfakes and other means of misinformation at the touch of a button.

Yeah, I agree that the left and liberals are broadly opposed to AI, and the right dove in headfirst. I just fail to see how lacking the ability to spew shitty cat videos and deepfakes means we on the left are hampering our own progress.

One of my buddies hates everything AI because it “impedes the integrity of art.” Went on a tirade about AI art being shit and everyone who uses it being shit as well.
This as a made an AI threesome of Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin. I also made a ladies night with AOC, Hilary, and Kamala.
But realistically, many on the lefts deal with AI is one part virtue signaling and many parts against how AI is being used to displace white collar workers with substandard service (Expedia, health care, etc).
