  • I can understand the Anti-IP sentiment about AI, but isn't that missing another key thing; we don't currently live in a socialist country.

  • Cool. And your point is?

    Buying yourself a little treat to feel better about being exploited under capitalism is also against leftist theory.

    But guess what... That doesn't magically turn the person that does into a liberal.

    is it petite bourgeois to be a poor farmer that only just sells enough to survive? you sell a basic human need

    Art is also a basic human need, though one more abstract, and less essential (though even cavemen had it)

  • Luddites were based in the UK

    It's almost like progress in one country can make progress happen in others, but no, that would be impossible!

    Especially not when that country had an empire at the time that could force vassals to follow the same rules!

    And it happened 150 years before the EU was formed

    Cool, what's that got to do with anything? You've heard of "grandfathering" right? Taking existing rules and going "y'know what, they work, will just copypaste as they are"

    I love that you keep trying to paint artists as Slop creators. You mean the thing that takes hours of dedicated practice, learning and trial and error? That thing?

    Slop creators, those who use genAI, are the ones who try to displace them.

    And again, your points all fall apart when you mention one very very very specific thing. We don't live under socialism, so to work towards it, shouldn't a goal be to ensure the Safe and Healthy lives of those who live, right now, in the real world, so they can then work towards improving it and hopefully making socialism real.

  • You know Luddites were actually not against progress right?

    That was dark propaganda against them by the dominant socioeconomic class of the time.

    The luddite movement was against using industrialisation to remove workers rights and to reduce safety standards which was prevalent at the time. It started as a direct response to the horrendous death of a child in a factory.

    And they did actually win in the end, though as a splinter group after the original fell apart due to the bad PR.

    That's why there's safety standards now, and statutory minimum of legally mandatory holidays in EU.

    My argument is that genAI is being used for the exact same reason now, to erode workers rights.

    Maybe you need to brush up on your history lessons?

  • What’s your most controversial opinion?

  • Reddit atheist is older than Reddit too, the term just became given that name by it being so prevalent on Reddit. (In the same way that atheism existed before the word "atheism")

    It's been around almost as long as secularism in society

  • And how does this statement in any way have an effect on the problem at hand?

    gen AI is harming people which capitalism is actively trying to crush beneath their boot

    And the usage of it is tantamount to a tacit agreement with capitalism doing that.

  • Yeah, that's why I am sure to never teach them about the tea tray between here and the edge of the universe

  • Quite a few have been bankrupt by it, once every few years they "make an example" by allowing a corporate to sue some random nerd doing piracy for everything they're worth

  • On the religious points, that's not even slightly controversial, you're just a Reddit atheist.

    Intentionally and blatantly overly reductive on a complex issue, and overly focused on Organised Religion, ignoring the more freeform ones and the ones that verge on just being philosophy. (Some of the none-western faiths)

    I fully agree on your latter point though.
