The real danger isn’t people using AI. It’s people pretending we have 10 leisurely years to debate whether it should exist.
If lawmakers had waited that long to address Facebook, the consequences would have made 2016 look like a warm-up.
The conversation that matters now isn’t “should AI exist.” It already does, at planetary scale. The conversation is what happens next. Who owns the models. Who gets compensated. What consent looks like. How environmental cost is regulated. What labour protections are created. How we prevent a handful of corporations from bottling the future.
Personal boycotts can be morally meaningful, but they are not a governance strategy. They don’t fix scraping, copyright, inequality, or emissions. Policy does. Collective action does. Public pressure does. Democratic oversight does.

@atomicpoet I'm not living in a world where AI exists. If we can't make AI go away, I build my own world.

@atomicpoet There is no harm reduction strategy for AI which is not a loss for humanity. It doesn't matter if I get compensated for my work being stolen by AI, it's still stolen. It doesn't matter if "less AI" is better than "more AI", The world with "some AI" in it is still not a world worth living in. We've created a mind-virus that consumes anything and everything and is literally designed to wiggle around regulations. I don't see why we should be talking about how much to surrender to it.

@calcifer arguably, unvarnished greed is evil; not in the sadistic “just for the sake of seeing people suffer” level, but evil nonetheless

@acirep uhm you might be right 😆

@stefano I have a theory that doctors are just trying to keep us away from all things yummy so that there is more left for them 😳 don't fall for it! 💪

@pixelbandito me too. I make a point to get outside my filter bubble, but I tend to avoid engaging because they assume I’m acting in bad faith. I don’t want to argue, I want to debate

99.8% of the time it’s not a conspiracy or even a very complicated evil plan. It’s incompetence, bad communication, poor incentives, and/or unvarnished greed.
Evil, as a rule, is *incredibly* banal

I'd like it to use a smaller font size and more line-height.

Otherwise it looks beautiful.
But with this font size and spacing I don't want anyone to see it.
