Fuck AI

You can also be right for the wrong reasons. You see that a lot in the anti-AI echo chambers, people who never gave a shit about IP law suddenly pretending that they care about copyright, the whole water use thing which is closer to myth than fact, or discussions on energy usage in general.

Everyone can pick up on the vibes being off with the mainstream discourse around AI, but many can't properly articulate why and they solve that cognitive dissonance with made-up or comforting bullshit.

This makes me quite uncomfortable because that's the exact same pattern of behavior we see from reactionaries, except that what weirds them out for reasons they can't or won't say explicitly isn't tech bros but immigrants and queer people.
