Despite being a Socialist sympathetic to Anarchism, I hate these fucking homilies. Movies, except for some labeled "nonfiction", are not made to represent reality as it is. They are made to express an emotion. Of course, it's important to note that good and evil do exist, and laws are not always good, but so what? This is just worthless to read! What have I really learned from this that I haven't before? How does this help people achieve good? What's new here?
On an aesthetic note, I hate this tweet, and I have always hated Twitter, especially when it shows up on other sites. It's been a problem since 2017. Putting "Wild." at the end makes this snot look even more pretentious.
I'll get right to it
After seeing the enormous attention that has been given to this community, I'm glad to present this list of articles lost in the early years. I'm not sure if it has been purposely sabotaged, or if people just didn't like it. Some of it shows a lot of hope.
Just like the bourgoise attempts to get a surplus value out of the proletariat without compensation, so too does the AI Prompter attempt to get a similar surplus value out of an artist. Maybe it is the same thing! The articles marked by a letter M (for Marx) will describe this process.

I mean, if you look at the Hall of Shame you can see they admire Hitler.
Several key AI developers, who worked on Stable Diffusion, Stability AI's popular text-to-image generator, have resigned, Forbes reports.
The types of places they're on are the mainstream sites (Reddit & Twitter), and I don't want to go there unless I have to. I honestly think a big part of the push for AI isn't popularity at all. Nobody really likes it that much. It's purely oligarchs who try to make their product look good to investors, and who see it as a way to replace human workers immensely easily. I'm unsure where the cryptocurrency-using techbros come from, tho. Maybe they're bot accounts held by very few people.
To make matters worse, programmers in the study would often overlook the misinformation.

I just want to say that, for some reason, there's been a lot of downvotes on articles, and no comments. Why is this? What is bothering people about the Operations Log? I can help people who criticize a post, but not people who simply downvote it. Everyone opposed to image theft is allowed here, and your opinion will be listened to. Please say something instead of just downvoting. Upvotes without comments are a similar problem, but I want to fix things that are wrong.
And if you're downvoting this because it shows up in your feed and you don't want it, just say so. I have a hunch that it's Boosters fueling their agenda, or Doomers having nihilistic fun, but you can't trust hunches.
I was trying to browse the site, and I think it might be faced with a few problems.
So I've talked in an Operations Log about defining AI, and I'm glad we're getting close to defining what the "AI" in "Fuck AI" is more specifically, because I see that, in programs like MdJ, StD, and ChatGPT, there is an element of class warfare in it. I really want tech workers to pile in here, because the entire success of these programs -- those in which a prompt is written, and an uncannily detailed image is made, or a long yet coherent passage is typed -- is built entirely on the efforts of workers. The reason I want to delineate AI from other things is because programs like the A-star algorithm, autocorrect, 3D modeling programs, and Vocaloids do not require an absurd amount of data to operate.
This article here most certainly explains why everything works so smoothly, as does this, and there is a book called Ghost Work that I'm going to read after my current one which illuminates a massive, hidden proletariat beneath the Silicon Valley bourgoise. If you are an artist whose work has been scraped, you can probably add to this testimony.
I had a hunch about AI being not as mighty as it seemed, and altho it's not wise to trust hunches, those articles, along with ones I sent to this community daily, prove thus: No technological capability of AI can exist without the labor-value of countless workers, whether taken from previous commodities (scraped images and text), or taken from workers continually (the business investigated by Dzeiza).
If you are an illlustrator, photographer, author, or other artist whose work was scraped, or someone else whose field is going to be "replaced with AI", this means you! Yes, you are the proletariat! Just like how a factory worker is only paid by how little the robber baron can get away with, so too are you only paid by how little a tech-bro can get away with.n1 And when there's a machine that a tech-bro can use to pay you nothing at all for your work, they will gladly use that machine.
I know that Marxism may be misappropriated by regions across the world, or that there are Tankies who champion Marxism but do not advance worker's rights. Well, if a Booster claims to be a Marxist, I will not believe them. AI has allowed people to pluck the labor-power from the proletariat as easily as one would click a mouse. I'm certain that Marxism is an ideal way to discuss why AI can and should be opposed.

We have to do Bard because everyone else is doing AI; everyone else is doing AI because we’re doing Bard.
This was originally going to be posted on Fuck AI, but it really applies to technology far more generally.
I want to apologize for changing the description without telling people first. After reading arguments about how AI has been so overhyped, I'm not that frightened by it. It's awful that it hallucinates, and that it just spews garbage onto YouTube and Facebook, but it won't completely upend society. I'll have articles abound on AI hype, because they're quite funny, and gives me a sense of ease knowing that, despite blatant lies being easy to tell, it's way harder to fake actual evidence.
I also want to factor in people who think that there's nothing anyone can do. I've come to realize that there might not be a way to attack OpenAI, MidJourney, or Stable Diffusion. These people, which I will call Doomers from an AIHWOS article, are perfectly welcome here. You can certainly come along and read the AI Hype Wall Of Shame, or the diminishing returns of Deep Learning. Maybe one can even become a Mod!
Boosters, or people who heavily use AI and see it as a source of good, ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE! I've seen Boosters dox, threaten, and harass artists over on Reddit and Twitter, and they constantly champion artists losing their jobs. They go against the very purpose of this community. If I hear a comment on here saying that AI is "making things good" or cheering on putting anyone out of a job, and the commenter does not retract their statement, said commenter will be permanently banned. FA&FO.
“Gold, yellow, glittering, precious gold! Thus much of this, will make black white; foul, fair; Wrong, right; base, noble; old, young; coward, valiant. ... What this, you gods? Why, this Will lug your priests and servants from your sides; Pluck stout men’s pillows from below their heads; This yellow slave Will knit and break religions; bless the accurs’d; Make the hoar leprosy ador’d; place thieves, And give them title, knee and approbation, With senators on the bench; this is it, That makes the wappen’d widow wed again: ... Come damned earth, Though common whore of mankind.” (Shakespeare: Timon of Athens.)

Just give all of Israel to Palestine. It belongs to the Palestinian people. The former Israelis can live in Palestine--there were already Palestinian Jews--but they do not deserve an Israeli government, and ought to give the Palestinians their homes back.
First of all, I agree with RBN. Most companies absolutely can pay their workers a higher wage with barely a dent in their profits. The payment is simply taken away from millionaires who spend it on luxury cruises and lobbying, or simply hoard it (which is even worse for the economy).
However, It seems you're using Twitter. I politely ask you never to post anything from that site here, because then people will need an account to respond. It isn't just the content on the site that is awful -- the website mechanics, like the removal of dislikes, blue checkmarks, and lack of characters, make it impossible to say what you mean. Tweeting your opinion is like trying to talk with clay in your mouth, or trying to write while your hands itch. As for me, Twitter does not constitute any valid information. All Tweets are useless prattle, and the massive presence of the site outside Twitter -- and the internet itself -- is a horrible thing. So, please, source your memes from somewhere else.
