GenAI needed to regulated years ago and I’m sorry but no amount of us asking nicely or fighting fair is going to stop technofascists from building their surveillance state.
In fact the past month has seen a huge uptick in stories about the “ineffectiveness” of fighting AI.
The timing of this while anti AI backlash is at an all time high tells me everything I need to know.
If the original comment offered solutions, different story.
There is no value in telling people to stop fighting.
“Thank god we fought for accessibility or those guys would have had a hell of time getting that wheelchair into the concentration camp.”
Fwiw I am NO stranger to accessibility as my father lost both of his legs. Do you know how often accessibility is just used to gain political favor? Or how often it is literally just horseshit for show?
Preserving our current fuckass levels of accessibility while making it even easier on GenAI companies just doesn’t feel right.
Regulated by whom? You can’t really stop someone from making tensors and scraping the web. The only good way I could see it happen would be the US enforcing it’s embargo powers, but that cat is out of the bag. I don’t see how countries like China would accept it and I also do not foresee the US trying the entire rest of the world to agree to a trade embargo with China either. Especially nowadays where the US showed multiple times that they are an unreliable partner. Even open local models are strong enough to probably scrape stuff on their own.

Let’s see what was written.
TLDR; It fucks up accessibility for blind people (amongst others).
Its also pretty futile imo. AI is reading billions of words from books and posts. A handful of users obfuscating their posts is not going to do anything.
I don’t believe I saw “stop fighting” in those sentences.
I did see “this fucks things up for many people, and this has little to no impact on ai scraping.”
You have a very different interpretation of those sentences from me. I’d also point out the root of the issue has nothing to do with llm’s, and everything to do with capitalism.
Maybe try fighting the cause of the problem rather than the most recent means of exploitation?
The cause of the problem is being bolstered by the companies that make gen AI my dude. They’re all the in the same trench coat, and they also make the accessibility laws.
I hate to tell you this but America has been captured by corporations for decades. Fuck them, and fuck anyone who dares to tell me stop fighting.
This screams astro turfing campaign against users fighting, and I’m not buying it.

Whether its gen ai or something else, the root cause is the same.
You are suggesting something that breaks things for a good number of people and has little to no impact on a specific subset of a specific type of company is the only way to fight back.
The way to be effective is to fight.

That is nonsense.
This is the part implying that there is nothing worth doing:
no, that says this specific thing is not worth doing.
Have you heard of implication? Here are two definitions of “imply”, from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/imply:
Thank you.
Reading truly is fundamental.
Please explain how “this isn’t effective, but does negatively impact regular people” is the same as “don’t fight back”.
I’d love to hear this explanation. Please. Enlighten me.
