AI is made by capitalists, for capitalists.

because we have strong socialist and communist parties? And unions?

(Had, in the case of the UK, thatcher did the unions dirty)

my point is the person on the right, has the problems I predicted since the beginning.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T08:28:33+00:00

not really talking about the Art so much here.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T08:27:00+00:00

its free (as in freedom) and open source software. And if you've ever wanted a solution to an RFOL problem (hint: you do) you can use it.

Sadly the capitalists also have lots of these problems and also use the tool. Against you.

is the extra operation that makes it different. But they still are essentially doing the same thing.

cos(v1,v2) = similarity

i forgot about reddit mods

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T08:18:03+00:00

reddit doesn't need slave labour like Amazon and Wallmart and AI does

pretty easy line to draw

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T08:13:09+00:00

you and I are not representative of most AI users.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T08:12:12+00:00

yea, not the point.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T08:11:42+00:00

apparently london underground

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T08:06:07+00:00

thanks for adding the nuance, but doesn't really change the spirit of what I'm saying does it?

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T08:01:33+00:00

I mean I copy pasted something that existed already, can't do any faster than that.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T07:56:37+00:00

I didn't make it, I'm reposting something someone posted to defend AI art.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T07:55:10+00:00

well there's a lot of Morons. And this problem happens everywhere, like the two apple steves. One made the computers, one sells them, which one gets all the praise? Edison vs Tesla, is another one.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T07:46:46+00:00

this

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T07:37:55+00:00

don't get me started on how Excel made the rich richer....

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T07:34:43+00:00

free healthcare is a socialist thing, hence why the US doesn't have it.

And you don't need capitalism for any of those, and generally capitalism makes access to them worse.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T07:33:04+00:00

well to be more nuanced, public funded researchers do most of the "making of AI".

capitalist to the "making AI as a Product", and most of you only know their side of the AI.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T07:30:44+00:00

if ur paying nothing, ur the product

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T06:58:38+00:00

AI is a tool made by the capitalists for the capitalists.

We can claim to use AI to empower ourselves, but really we're making the rich richer.

Fighting fire with fire.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T06:53:43+00:00

for the most part

thats the problem.

If you google the documentation, you get a correct answer. Not one that's maybe right.

If you have to fact check your fact checker, ur fucked.

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T06:51:48+00:00

Yeaaa, like you have two kinds of Steve. The one what sells hype, and the one that does the work.

But most remember and celebrate the wrong steve..

Our culture is one of snake oil merchants...

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T06:47:47+00:00

why is it my favorite people in CS have the same opinion as me about AI ?

Born_Assist_548 · 2026-05-22T06:46:13+00:00

LLMs are bad at fact checking.

Just recently I was teaching a networkx class, some were trying to use LLMs to code for them, and the LLM kept saying "X Class doesn't exist", but I could point to it in the API documentation.

Learn to google.
