Oh, So you are angry with how the losses of life due to capitalism and especially British colonisation are mentioned.
On the reddit part, I likely don’t know you.
And for the record, your comment and attempt at attacking the topic and me is easy to see through.

“Cannot criticise capitalism while existing in capitalism”, “Should not criticise the British colonisation, because they built some trains in colonised India. Indians who used it cannot criticise the colonisation” logic?
I do not subscribe to that logic.
GenAI is built by capitalists, but the data n info is mostly not theirs. Ending up reliant on their tool would be the bad thing.
And tactical boycotts can be good, lime how we Indians had a period where we boycotted British products. But it had an aim. Is there a current formal aim?

Could be racism, but could be misdirected anger at AI too.
I think people should direct it at the corps which own and direct the AI, developing it by taking content without remuneration, especially when AI content can create copies and reduce chances of work for the people whose content is taken. Ultimately it seems to be an issue of capitalist ownership. Specific attention to it is good.
I also understand the issue of using AI for important things, creating reports, etc. with how AI can hallucinate and people being more aware there.
But I don’t see the issue with an AI meme? Are they afraid that it is not human? But AI is trained on human data, developed by humans and used by humans too. Like, if their issue is AI ‘stealing’ stuff in the case of a meme, then are not most memes using the screenshots from movies, series’, YouTube videos etc. are used without prior permission or remuneration?
So, the aspect is indeed the issue of job security for regular people vs corpos who do not care about public wellbeing, broadly the issue of capitalist ownership, right?

But then we are using the internet, social media and devices controlled by corporations.
Lemmy is better, without corp control and by having pro-socialist instances.

In fact, if you refuse to use the AI model they trained then the water and electricity were wasted for nothing!
Is that not a sunk cost fallacy?
If it is very bad to use, we can choose not to use it. But if not, we can use it.
Oh it’s plagiarism? Oh not precious property rights, I didn’t realize we were fucking capitalists protecting the sanctity of copyright.
Yep.
Tho, the prople who worked on the confent should be paid decently and also on how derivatives of the content maybe bad for future income and thus thy should provided a share of the income or given a one time settlement or whatever that would be good. Collective ownership would be good on that too. That is beyond AI, and the general nature of capitalism
And regarding property rights, especially on memes, are not most memes plagiarising or creating derviatives or litrak copying without paying the original creator? Like, are not screenshots from movies, series, youtube videos etc. used without permission or payment? Is that bad? Are these folk against memes of all types?
So, the issue is the earnings of the worker, right? And also attribution.
Collective ownership would likely be the solution there.

How much is the cost?
I see the issue as capitalist control over the resources a d major contribution by imperialism, where the issues and possible solutions to try are known, but are hindered by capitalist powers.

And how many tress did our comments here take? How manu trees does a youtube or porn video being streamed or uploaded take?

then he’s standing alone in his formal suit, framed as the only rational thinker in an exotic desert.
I saw it as two different people.
His hair and face seems different, with a darker tone.
I see it as Westernised non-Westerner, noticing the lack of attention and support.

Does it use that much water? How does it compare to water use by regular datacenters?
And if it is controlled by a collective, they can reduce wastage and use renewable sources, recycle water etc, without having the profit-only main motivation, right?

As for the “tool neutral, usage good” argument, I think of it like Operation Paperclip or Unit 731. Be damned sure the juice is worth the squeeze.
Both are not tools or technology, but Nazis being used, right?

Not necessarily. If the not voting creates awareness on issues and inspires action, then it can be good.
Generally, voting may be good. But if 3rd parties you like to vote for are not allowed or face structural impediments, then if you use not voting as awareness for it, it being good or bad would be on the effects, right?

What is a communist in your and your father’s pov?
Was your father a communist? Is Kamala Harris a communist?
Is it cynical of me to vote for someone I share no ideological foundation with?
In your pov, does communism restrict you from doing that?
Are you USAmerican?
Like, isn’t Communism famous for allying with people when it helps in peace, liberation and development?
‘Communism’ in Russia, USSR initially wished for a united front against Nazi Germany, but the Western powers were positive towards Nazi Germany and were doing peace agreements and things like the Munich Agreement which allowed Nazi Germany to annex Czechoslovakia(Poland also took part in the opportunity). USSR protested against it, but saw it was futile and created a non-aggression treaty for relative peace and buffer time/space for readying for the coming conflict. (Tho, this peace agreement is criticised by people too)
Then when Nazi Germany attacked, they fought back. They also allied with the Western powers to defeat the Nazi-facsist-Imperial Japan forces.
‘Communism’ in China fought along with the KMT against Japanese colonisers, even when they had disagreements. They ultimately had to deal with the conflict with KMT.
‘Communism’ in Vietnam initially requested the help of the USA in freeing itself from French colonialism. But USAmerican regime attacked them and tried to keep them subjugated. So, they flight against it and won.
‘Communism’ does not restrict you from taking tactical positions that suit the current scenario.
Tho, if you don’t want to call yourself a communist, if you see yourself as a foolish dreamer succumbed to wishful thinking, then do remove the mask and say that you are not a communist. Why cosplay as something you are not?
I don’t think it is a matter of being communist or not, but the issue of being ineffective. Communists in some non-western regions were able to attain victory(they faced serious battles tho). Some communists in the western regions who tried to improve things were murdered like Fred Hampton, by programmes like Operation Gladio etc. They too faced battles. But in such a scenario, many of them were able to nudge things in a better direction, help spread awareness against the Vietnam war etc.

A gun cannot be evil.
It is like saying a rock is evil. The user, the suppliers, the distributors n all can be evil or not, according to what it is used for.
Tho, guns are potentially dangerous tools, since they are mainly used to take lives or threaten people with its ability of taking lives and can lead to escalation.
So, there should be enough care and awareness on its use and ownership.

AI as a tool which is exceptionally capable of carrying the philosophy of the “nerd reich”
Social media and the internet is also similar in that POV, right?.

The whole idea of memetics is that cultural artifacts like images and tools influence the behavior of individuals who encounter them.
So insisting that tools don’t influence behavior while posting memes to try to get that proposition to replicate is just deeply strange.
Who said that it has no influence in behaviour? And we cannot make adjustments to handle or mitigate/enhance some of it?
Or are you saying that tools should not be used?
