I've just realised two things:
1. AI luddites are essentially vegans in both reasoning and attitude to life.
2. I've seen *much* less vegan evangelism since the anti-AI evangelism started.
Are they just the exact same people happy they can be mad about something else? Is the Venn diagram of vegans and AI luddites just a circle?
@icedquinn I think I am, I've seen the term "AI luddites" used many times and it describes them very well.
i've rarely seen anyone recognize how much of a hazard normalizing "send everything to altman" actually is, they're always stuck on just "but the JOOOOBBBSSS"
@icedquinn of course anyone wanting to use automation to centralise control will try to equate people against the former with people against the latter, as it makes them look ridiculous. Doesn't change the fact that in both cases the luddite movement is founded by workers whose jobs are getting automated crying that the entirety of society will benefit at the cost of them having to find a different job.
@technolyze @icedquinn yeah that sucks but it's the same kind of argument as "pans are bad because you can hit people over the head with them". Have you considered the possibility of supporting some uses of a technology and not others?
