Alright, I just want to clarify that I’ve never modded a Lemmy community before. I just have the mantra of “if nobody’s doing the right thing, do it yourself”. I was also motivated by the decision from u/spez to let an unknown AI company use Reddit’s imagery. If you know how to moderate well, please let me know. Also, feel free to discuss ways to attack AI development, and if you have evidence of AIBros being cruel and remorseless, make sure to save the evidence for people “on the fence”. Remember, we don’t know if AI is unstoppable. AI uses up loads of energy to be powered, and tons of circuitry. There may very well be an end to this cruelty, and it’s up to us to begin that end.
I’m not trying to be an ass, but the genie is out of the bottle. You’d have as much luck campaigning to shut down the internet in the 90’s.
Trust me on this one… Put your energy toward navigating a world -with- AI. As long as money is relevant, those who have it will dictate the course of civilization, and there is far too much money behind AI.
Ah yes, because we knows that if everyone does it and a lot of money is invested in it an act clearly known to be wrong will suddenly become right; like systematically hoarding labor as content and than reselling it on their behalf without having to get their consent or paying them.
thank you. this is the correct answer. if you hide from technology, it will find you eventually and you’ll be completely unprepared for how to deal with it and it will be in the hands of the wrong people.
i’m an artist. i use AI artwork IN my art. i also use photoshop. i don’t see a difference between the two things in the big picture.
