I’m guessing that I was banned for recent, scientifically accurate statements about “AI” despite a long history of posting in the comm. As someone who doesn’t believe in “AI”, I think that a great portion of “anti-AI” sentiment is misguided at best and most often feeding the grift. I think it’s really sad how people who supposed oppose “AI” constantly feed the hype through anthropomorphism, absurd claims/beliefs, etc. Perhaps more importantly, if you’re more upset by people generated images of witches than by genocide, surveillance, etc., then you’re part of the problem. TBH technology is always corrupted by capitalism and nothing special is really happening with “AI” apart from the massive grift. The comm seems like a lib space mostly for promoting phony “AI” press releases. I’m not surprised that I was banned for my thought crimes. “AI” doesn’t exist and I’m not sorry about it. But that comm is the real booster. Rife with pseudo-science and anthropomorphism. That’s why liberal resistance is not actually resistance. These people are going to be crying about witch pictures while being dragged off to prison during an “AI” raid…
It’s one of those circlejerk communities. Both PTB because it is, and sort of YDI because of you go against the jerk you can’t really expect anything else. Same as with the linuxsucks guy.
They’re more than that, they’re also a harassment community. Their members have been harassing me for years and I don’t even post there. It’s not like linuxsucks at all, that community doesn’t harass people who use Linux.
Its big enough to top feeds though, where linuxsucks only rarely scrolls by on /new.
Yeah, well, that’s what happens when you use those feeds. You browse unfiltered, you get unfiltered. It’s like drinking from a river, enough people shit in it and you’ll always have turds floating by. That’s why I only use the subscribed feed. I still get turds, but at least they’re predictable.

10,000%. I even brought that up in the recent thread about anarchists & LLMs.
“AI” doesn’t exist and I’m not sorry about it.
Just want to note - it does, and has for about 70 years. Its a big umbrella, and I think what you’re saying here is General AI (or AGI Artificial General Intelligence) doesn’t exist. It doesn’t. But NAI (narrow) does exist, thats what LLMs are.
It gets messier because of those marketing pieces they put out because they will refer to Gen AI (and mean generative) or they try and rebrand General as “able to do a task that a person did” which is remarkably silly and pure nonsense.
As far as the community goes, I mostly gloss over it for the reasons you mention. Its like a little bit of fabricated reality in there. And due to that, I’d say PTB.
That said, its one of those places where disagreement isn’t generally welcome, so it shouldn’t be surprising.
PTB - but even though I agree with your central take, I don’t agree for the same reason. AI is here to stay - it’s too powerful a tool for control to go anywhere.
That’s why liberal resistance is not actually resistance.
There is no such thing as “liberal resistance” - there is only liberal counterinsurgency.
Kind of surprised they didn’t ban me from that community as retaliation since I banned all their mods for coming to my comms to downvote every new post as they came out. Maybe if they figured out how to do it with Tesseract or Photon they would. I have no intention of ever posting there since their members have harassed me aggressively and even impersonated me.

I’m with you 100% here.
But… I think the rest of the post is overgeneralized and kinda went off the rails.
Corporate “AI” is awful. Its a huge issue, its reasonable to be upset about it, and its not reasonable to expect people to understand technical nuance amongst models they never use.
Ive been anti-anti-AI in that community, and havent gotten banned yet… And I think being polite goes a long way, there.

Agreed, it’s never not okay to hate corporate AI and the companies who lease it to us over the air.
Shameless plug for !fuck_corporate_ai@lemmy.dbzer0.com for people who actually want to post about these issues and not just blindly circlejerk against AI in general.
You got banned because you posted in a completely different community? Did you get banned from Fuck_AI after posting there afterwards, or just randomly?

You know you can just ignore stuff you don’t like, you don’t need to announce it to everyone else.

Your comment never actually deleted and it’s clearly visible.
Kind of goes against the spirit of disengagement when you end it with an insult, dipshit

You literally just deleted it, it said “ignore”. Why would we be responding to you if it worked the first time?
Regardless of the fault being yours or not, it’s still a shit comment and a shit response to being called out on it.
The bug wasn’t anybody else’s fault but you acting like a tool isnt a bug.
The safeword is “disengage” and you’re only supposed to use it after starting a discussion or when someone else starts an argument with you. It makes no sense to comment it on a post when you’ve put nothing forward here.

Okay, sorry for being a dick about it. Have a nice day buddy, you deserve it! My bad for ruining the vibes.
