Broadly speaking, you probably agree with the large majority of the views commonly attributed to whichever group you identify with - what are the exceptions? Something that if you mention without a caveat immediately makes people jump to conclusions or even attack you?
I don’t hate AI. It’s fine. I don’t love it either, but it’s neat and often useful.
You’re fine with companies stealing other people’s work?
As far as I know, the jury is still out on whether that is infringing (not stealing). Based on my understanding, AI is transformative and would fall under fair use. That being said, claiming fair use and then selling the output is problematic to me.
Every single model should be open weights and uncensored. I wouldn’t have any issue with companies adding value or supplying the compute to run the model.
They don’t even have to sell it, company valuation increases alone are evidence of piracy
Just gonna vent a little, don’t mind me. I don’t hate AI. I hate how it’s being used. In a vacuum, AI is fine. But we don’t live in a vacuum, we live in a capitalist hellscape where everyone saw how AI was going to be abused even before corporations started jumping on every chance they got to do so. Now we’re stuck in the timeline where the public consensus is that using AI for any reason at all is seen as fundamentally unethical. People are zealously anti-AI and the nail is only getting pounded in further with new reasons to hate it appearing every other day. And it didn’t have to be this way. Photography didn’t try to pass itself off as painting, it had time to develop into its own art form. But AI didn’t. Out the gate, it was being used deceptively, and continuously became worse. People want to abolish AI as a whole, but it isn’t the problem. The problems run way deeper. Our world is a sinking boat and AI is showing us where all the leaks are. Lack of education, lack of access to mental health professionals, those in power using every chance they get to screw over the working class by cutting every corner. Any new technology in any form that can be used to exploit people, WILL be used to exploit people. The hate on AI may be justified but it’s too generalized and unfocused to bring about any meaningful change. There needs to be regulation, but I fear that any laws that are passed will only benefit the rich and horrible.
