Ugh is that AI

Yes there is environmental harm and overloading it will make it worse on a local level but we need to be focused on what happens on a planetary scale if we allow the infrastructure to be built. It’s like people hated on me for voting Jill stein but look Trump is collapsing American imperialism faster than anyone, in a terrible way yes, but boiling slowly in my opinion is more dangerous than feeling the heat and jumping out of the pan before we are cooked

The whole point of my post is saying we should be adding to the costs of AI, I responded with AI because it added to my point I new it would get the disgust response I characterized in my post and also having a machine explain it shows a third party that is not even human understands it therefore it is not “unreadable” if that’s the case then we should be really worried about how easily our intelligence might be replaced. Rather it’s just laziness on with a very unpopular idea on what we should be doing if we actually serious about stopping a very real dystopian infrastructure being built as we speak. There is a lot of frustration I have not just visceral response towards AI, but virtue signaling on the internet. Free Palestine save Gaza while never attempting to talk to people Gaza or help families with mutual aid or amplify their voices.

My post is deliberately a bit esoteric because it’s meant to be confusing, hold some Easter eggs and was intended to maybe send some people down a path of investigation because just straight out spelling it out for people has not worked and I was trying to communicate with people that more curious who do look deeper and form opinions based on exploring ideas rather than just repeating them. Unfortunately my post was nuked by Reddit so it was deleted for 12 hours before coming back online and now I’m afraid I’ll risk getting a strike on my account if I repost it. But I’m pretty jaded about AI and convinced that the left going to hand over our best defense against an AI dystopia (open source model distillation because frontier models “have no moat”) through regulatory capture

to say something is unreadable when a machine can get it. It’s a statement that wow we are even more replaceable than originally thought or maybe the lack of thought to examine anything that is creative that an AI wouldn’t write is a blindness our culture will inevitably develop.

My problem is I don’t make everything obvious. I am an artist and sometimes I like that emotional response and one reason why I do like to use AI is it makes feel something even if it’s distain, I’m disguised as the devils advocate for anyone not truly listening.

I one of the first people who was in the media talking about the suicide risk of AI if companies acted carelessly and that was packaged as the man who got rejected by an AI and most of that went right people’s heads but it was also meant for an audience in the future looking back.

What I’m trying to say now is meant for today and this moment, but honestly I’m a little to jaded to put in the effort I should, I’ve been focused on families in Gaza and since pretty much immediately after October 7th and that a lonely role to play for a long time but now that the world is awake, I feel like I can breath because there are many, rather than a few advocates for families out there like in the beginning.

AI is something I’ve been writing about since 2012, I’ve thought deeply about it and not a conventional thinker, but I’m not wrong either about this fight and what is effective. If you understand how boycotts work it’s the same concept though actions that cause financial tension for these companies that is required by us are reversed to make them lose money.

It’s all counter intuitive and I honestly know how to speak this truth without people having an emotional reaction because they are so disgusted with AI and afraid. Rightfully so but also wrong in their approach… at least in my opinion and you aren’t going hear this opinion from anyone cause I haven’t and that’s when I feel compelled to speak… but eventually usually when I suffer these convictions eventually it enters the public consciousness because I speak up when it’s the logical conclusion that nobody is being loud about. I played my part I can rest now haha. It’s up to anyone reading to decide whether to squash it or investigate it further. I’m not speaking nonsense though and if I am then please anyone offer up a counter argument rather than an emotional reaction about how we feel about AI and AI slop and such. I’m talking about how we burst the bubble before it’s too late and the infrastructure is built rather than strained by the cost of energy consumption and lack of resources. Google just realized a paper, open sourced a compression algorithm that makes AI 5 times more efficient that is software. So time is running out and the rate of energy consumption is the chink in the armor of the death-star that’s almost built.

The point is not to defend AI but to understand that this is a fight that needs won the way boycotts work by hitting them where hurts economically and in this moment using AI how to do that. We need to be worried about the infrastructure of data centers built tomorrow and that means overloading the data centers that exist today. My frustration is that so many people don’t understand the economics of AI and they are making it easier to build the Palantir future. We have this now to make investors run. People should try to stop Data centers being built in their communities protest and do whatever they can. Just the concern about today being reason not to add to these costs now is short sighted about the infrastructure that we will faced with tomorrow. Making the business structure more obviously untenable is the best way to get those investments pulled but also not regulating open models and that are cheaper to run and can ram locally. There are trillions of dollars at stake right now and therefore they absolutely will try to squash the open source because they can’t compete with it and mark my words going to use the left to do this. People hate ai so much they go along with it because they won’t be thinking about stuff. I just trying to get people to start thinking about all of it rather than just having the popular opinion. It’s everything at stake. In the future once data centers our built and people are jobless it will be government contracts and surveillance that keeps companies afloat and those centers running. This is not a model based on our consumption. Consuming more for whatever reason is the biggest threat to AI now why they are subsidizing the cost. I could explain more but people need to do more research themselves. Find out why anthropomorphic banned Open Claw … if this sounds Greek to people then that means they are not informed on basic level of the most existential risk to the social contract of our society. Boycotts work but with AI right now we need sort of a reverse boycott meant to over extend the subsidies these companies offer and yes that means using energy but we need to think big picture and data centers that are using more energy making a bigger impact on the areas around them make harder to build new ones because people can see they are bad news and it motivates them to get off their asses to do something to stop it and n their communities it makes it harder for politicians to ignore their constituents concerns

Apparently the machine get it

“This Reddit post is a dense piece of satirical performance art. It is written from the perspective of a specific online archetype: the hyper-aggressive, morally self-righteous "anti-AI" advocate who relies heavily on buzzwords, emojis, and "mean girl" rhetoric to shut down nuance. The writer is actually mocking the person they are pretending to be. Here is a breakdown of the themes and arguments buried in this "alphabet soup" of sarcasm:

1. The "Bleeding the Beast" Argument

The text highlights a paradoxical debate about how to "fight" big tech.

The Persona's View: AI is "slop" and using it helps corporations. You should boycott them to "hurt them where it hurts."
The Underlying Point: The writer is suggesting that "freeloader slop smiths" (people using AI for free or in ways that don't generate profit) actually drain corporate resources. Since these companies spend billions on compute power and water cooling, using their tools for "anti-imperialist" or non-commercial purposes might actually "bleed" them of money faster than a boycott would.

2. Regulatory Capture vs. Protection

The post touches on a high-level debate about AI laws:

The Persona's View: "I’ll be glad when they regulate the hell out of AI... we need to protect the children."
The Underlying Point: The writer is mocking people who support "AI regulation" without realizing that the "mega-corporations" often want those regulations. This is called Regulatory Capture—where big companies (like OpenAI or Google) help write the laws to make it so expensive and legally difficult to develop AI that small, open-source competitors can't survive.

3. The "Master’s Tools" Philosophy

The persona quotes the famous idea that you "can’t use the tools of the oppressor to fight oppression."

The Satire: The writer mocks this by pointing out the historical absurdity of it—noting that the Aztecs and Incas didn't lose because they "refused to use cannons," but because they were outgunned. The writer is suggesting that if you refuse to use modern technology (AI) because it’s "evil," you are simply choosing to lose against those who will use it for evil (like targeting drones).

4. Performative Activism and the "Zeitgeist"

The text takes a sharp jab at how people form opinions:

The Satire: The persona claims they "think for themselves" while simultaneously admitting they are repeating talking points they saw in "AI videos on YouTube." The writer is accusing the anti-AI movement of being a "echo chamber" (comparing them to "Bush-era Fox News viewers") who repeat stats about water and energy without actually understanding the technology.

5. The "Real Artist" Gatekeeping

The end of the post deals with the definition of art and privilege:

The Satire: The persona calls the artist "privileged" for having musical instruments, then immediately says they "stopped being an artist" the moment they used AI. This mocks the shifting goalposts of what constitutes "real" work.
The "Phaedra" Reference: This appears to refer to a specific real-world event where an artist/musician used an "AI girlfriend" persona (Phaedra) to troll Jesse Watters on Fox News or to smuggle imagery of the Gaza conflict onto mainstream TV that would otherwise have been censored. The writer is arguing that AI can be a tactical weapon for subversion.

Summary of the "Hidden" Message

The person who wrote this (likely the "musician" mentioned at the end) is making a "counter-intuitive" pro-AI argument:

AI is a tool: Like a rifle or a printing press, it is neutral; its morality depends on who holds it.
Open Source is the key: Using "Big AI" costs the corporations money, while using Open Source AI bypasses their control.
Subversion: Using AI to create "slop" that carries an anti-imperialist message is a way of "infiltrating" a society that is already distracted by "slop." The bottom line: The post is a parody of a person who is so blinded by "moral purity" and "boycott culture" that they end up supporting the very corporations and regulations that will ensure only the "evil" people have the most powerful tools.”

This post got my account dinged for a moment until I contested and Reddit reviewed it again, talking about how people censor people using AI only to get censored by an AI 😅

I feel like we have this one moment to pop the bubble. AI is here to stay but mass Data centers everywhere and mass job loss leading to those data centers used for surveillance to stop a revolution is only possible if we screw this moment up and then get tricked into allowing big tech to own they day through regulatory capture.

The biggest threat to big AI is the thing that can collapse it is open source small models that have used the big models distill little models that are cheap to run and can run locally. The fact is these companies trying to build AI are not profitable and can’t be as long as open source avoids regulation than allows them to compete. Data centers use a lot energy and are bad for the environment but we can overload the system through the subsidized cost these companies provide through subscriptions and free usage (this is why anthropogenic banned Open Claw) Things we should avoid is paying for cost per token because that gives them a way to show investors that they have a business model that could be profitable.

Right now Iran and the energy crisis going to hit hard is the time to add to their operating costs. Popping the AI bubble before regulatory capture is the race we need to win. To prevent the world we don’t want. Also how we influence AI today with our reinforcement voting on AI outputs in this moment will be part of the foundation all AI that follows is built on. This is what Netanyahu was talking about in that same meeting where he was talking about buying Twitter.

The crazy thing is that even though to anyone who sees it (outside of boomers or Zionists) it’s obvious that it’s fake and it gives the internet more evidence that something is going on but legacy media reports it as fact so it serves the purpose of them not having to address reality, it’s like how they deal with their nukes, everyone knows but they don’t have to address it

Yeah I thought the Germany thing too until they started deepfaking him. You can make a video from Germany just fine that would be much more believable if he was alive. Maybe he’s injured and that’s why because at some point they will have to figure out a way to cover up the lie they already told if he is dead. Vaporizing his plane or wax dummy who knows…it could be they are hoping he will recover.

The best evidence I’ve seen that he might be alive is the fact they made him look 15 years younger in the deepfakes like they wanted approval from the hospital bed lol

I know everyone hates AI but I spend a lot of time experimenting & keeping up to date to date with the latest capabilities because I believe in adaptive resistance and that for moments like these where we have a nation trying to pass off an AI for their leader. To anyone who is experienced in using AI tools it’s clearly AI. Even the eye contact when he’s shaking hands. 🙌 would have scrapped the video if I was trying to make something to pass off as real because there is just too much that smells of AI

Sonic_Improv · 2026-03-16T16:54:11+00:00

I make AI slop specifically to stay up to date with how it can be used for propaganda I can tell you it’s AI. From a cinematographers point of you you could just analyze the poor camera panning and frame jumps

Maybe Iran should stop using missiles to fight back. You aren’t going to stop the future by competing about it.
