The correct answer is it’s always morally ok, unless you prefere to fund gabe’s superyacht addiction.

I really don’t understand this idea that it’s the fault of individuals when massive corporations and investors greenlight all of these horrible things. You can’t blame AI growth on individual users. The investors and board members made those decisions and the blame needs to go on them, not any of us.

When consumers and workers are blaming each other for the faults of the rich we will never be able to unite against them.

I do understand that interpretation, although this is not just a feature of AI generated memes. Most memes posted here use only white characters or have western opinionated bias although I don’t see anyone having issues with that, it’s only when it’s AI generated.

The person who created this meme had the option to make the characters in the meme to of various ethnicities but didn’t. It’s not particularly difficult to prompt AI’s in specific ways so it reveals your creative vision rather than allowing the AI to make the decisions for you.

Can you please explain how using AI to generate this image gives corporations power? I’d argue it does the opposite due to the memes anti capitalist nature.

I don’t pay for models in any way so I’m not responsible for the emissions during training. AI companies decided to create these emissions, not me.

I did a bit of research and the full emissions of AI is relatively small compared to other things but still far from negligible. If we take this guardian article at face value the total emissions of AI is 80 million tonnes. Which is about 1.3% of total carbon emissions (about 6 billion tonnes). I did a bit of research and I just thought I’d share.

You can generate AI locally.

Also can we please stop talking about AI in terms of water usage? The amount of total carbon it emits is a much bigger concern.

I’ve since changed my opinion about this (it’s been 9 months) I agree with you.

That is a terrible graph though.

I didn’t know that, thanks.

That too thanks!

This is a pretty awesome graph. Do you have one that extends past 1990?

I don’t speak Chinese.

It was always a foreign and domestic child crusher.

Is there no real anti AI movement in China? I wish I could know more about social media culture in China.

That’s definetly not here most of the time.

Who makes us think votiny doesn’t work? And when did voting work?

I didn’t interpret it as communism bad, although that’s how we were taught it (because of course I studied it in school). I think Orwell’s take is that power corrupts and no one should be able to hold power for a significant period of time.

I disagree with Orwell’s opinion because he places too much emphasis on great man theory. It’s not realistic for any individual to truly dictate an entire country like a farmer or pig might dictated over the farm.

Does it really map current events accurately? Animal Farm doesn’t really consider the fundamental difference between different states with different class dynamics. Animal Farm can’t explain how socialist states, modern and historical, always continue to improve living conditions for workers as much as possible despite having strong centralisation of power. Meanwhile, conditions are getting worse for workers in capitalist states despite having generally lower (albeit increasing) levels of government involvement.

Also I’m curious by what you mean by neoliberal progressive rugpulling.

I am not familiar with the person on the right.

Animal Farm is a fictional narrative based off George Orwell’s interpretations of the events surrounding the Russian revolution, not an accurate piece of political history or theory.

History is much more accurately depicted through nonfiction texts, not fictional narratives. You should read actual political theory if you want to learn about the Russian revolution. It was a very interesting event with many complexities and it liberated so many people.

Although I do agree with some of your later points. Although I think horseshoe theory is unjustified as well, and you seem to agree. Politics is much more complex than a line or even a bent line.

Politics is a complex web of ideas that form as a result of certain conditions. The far left and far right do share some values, but usually for completely different reasons. For example both Nazi Germany and the USSR had very strong centralisation of power in the state, although that power in the USSR stemmed from the workers to oppress the bourgeoisie but in Nazi Germany the power stemmed from the Bourgeoisie to oppress the working class.
