  • It’s obviously better if the Puppy Kicker 9000 is in the hands of the workers than capitalists. That should be obvious.

    then please enlighten me because i don’t want to kick puppies and i don’t want the forest-burning, information-poisoning, art-burying novelty meme generator. why is it better to do as they do but it’s ✨open source✨ when we aren’t even in a post-capitalist society and that work will just be exploited to the benefit of capitalists anyway? even if we’re the ones developing it for free for everyone to use, isn’t it still just a tool that only benefits the wealthy and hurts the working class regardless by poisoning our access to information, poisoning our ability to express ourselves creatively, enabling a new digital form of SA, etc. etc. etc.?

    in a post-capitalist society where there’s no incentive to use AI as a torment nexus, i’m sure it’ll be a valuable tool where the pros outweigh the cons. but, we’re not there, and AI right now is just making everything suck a lot more. or am i missing some sort of benefit it’s providing to the working class that makes this all worth it anyway? not trying to be a smuglord, i’m genuinely wondering.
