Voting in capitalism was created to fool everyone into believing capitalism is a democracy and it’s worked really well.

I’ll take the boot without a heel, those things would be sharp on my face.

If your struggling with optimism, people who overthrow the rich and create a democracy that works for the majority are much more optimistic.

I thought all press in china was publicly owned.

Actually it seems the prc has a golden share in alibaba group.

Now just like how every fascist society ended we need to vote and work within the system to escape! /s

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

Piracy sale is here! All games $0 forever.

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.
